Casino, F1... our Uniquely Singaporean skill seems to be jumping onto the bandwagon

[Hitman]

Yeah well ..... another hogwash .... just like Goal 2010

 

All talk .... but some people talk without knowing the basics involved in achieving that standard. Simply cause , they kick a soccer ball 3 times a year at an event , and suddenly think they know better and comes up with a 2010 idea

 

What a freakin joke that was

[Ghostrider]

TODAY paper already quoted Mathew saying that the press got it all wrong.

 

F1 in Singapore ?? I think making Geylang as the UN HQ is easier.

[Hitman]

[Lordalfa]

Our press also cannot make it.

 

Let alone business.

[Soya]

heh...i'll believe it when i see it. big plans for a place that doesn't even hv a Third World std kart track.

 

and what happened to all that talk abt hosting the JTCC a few yrs back? hope they weren't talking abt orchard gudang....

[Lionheart7004]

Some rumor recently out there that STPB is seriously looking into a motor-car racing event to churn tourist dollars as they see the success of hosting the F1 Boat Racing in Marina as well as Simpang.

 

Maybe this time is true.

 

[Soya]

F1 boating? waste time lar. might as well host F1 chess competition. less space and equally boring.

[Lionheart7004]

These days govt can do most things e.g. pop-culture for money. Not surprise even events can be called boring.

[Hitman]

Orchard Gudang ?? 3rd World Kart Track ??

 

Thats a good one bro

[Hitman]

F1 Chess Competition ??

 

Dude ... you are so funny

[Hitman]

F1 Boat Racing is a success ??

 

Thats NO CLASS compared to F1 with the Ferraris, McLarens, Williams, Renaults etc etc etc

 

Walk up to any Singaporean and ask if they know who Seebold is ??

[Megatop]

What for waste 16m each yr.

[Soya]

if it's any consolation, today's ST did say MM admitted his mistake for thinking F1 was a waste of time and promoting reckless driving.

[BMW320i]

I agree with your thoughts 100% to the power of infinity.

 

 

[Lordalfa]

Prmoting reckless driving?

 

No track and tada! Your have OrrrrChoood GooooDaaaang!

[Gendut]

if it's any consolation, today's ST did say MM admitted his mistake for thinking F1 was a waste of time and promoting reckless driving.

Admit mistake for what? Still grabbing million$$ salary. Just quit when your shelf life is up.

 

I was dying to know which minister opposed the F1 proposal. Now I know. My view of him just got dimmer.

 

If the big bosses cannot come up with a good idea, let me give them one.

We can jumpstart everybody by being the euthanasia capital of the world. MAybe Prof would support this as she is more interested in 'quality of life'.
