Welcome to Sin City



It was a joke, a pun, to call Singapore Sin City. It is no longer a pun and neither joke. The newspapers are splashed with news of corruptions in high places, and sex scandals. They don’t have enough space to write about them.

The clean and green and squeaky prude city is passé. The streets are dirty with litters. The trains smelt of human stench. The monks and priests and those wearing white robes are tarnished and stained.

Sin City is getting more vibrant and colourful. We have achieved as the City of happenings, fun and excitement.

The biggest mistake by highly intelligent BG George Yeo was to recommended the establishment of leegalised gaming dens in Singapore.
There began the Sin City of Singapore.

All the high profile cases got nothing to do with the casinos and George.

Hypocrisy is the mother of all Sin because it blinds people and give license to defraud, cheat and lie.

Sin originates from religion and the irony is.....they are the best at it.

The deterioration begins from the time the crown prince takes over the throne. For every minute this place is under his rule, it will be more entrenched in sin.

For whoever miw have recommended the twin casinos, the price to pay may be the health of whoever these miv love dearly. So watch out, make no mistake that it looks as if retribution is unable to catch up with you; the reason is because the appointed moment has yet to arrive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever since peepee m lee took over the helm,the line between right and wrong, moral and immoral, true and false has blurred. What is claimed by him as well as all his sycophantic followers has also become equivocal. As long as an explanation that is to his advantage, without hesitation he will go forth to claim its logic; even if such logic flaws against morality and humanity. Why do we have to put up with such stupid oppression from an ass?????

Relac lah redbean. Hotel Singapore is awesome!

What is wrong with you? People are happy and having a good time, and you have to be so negative?

Unresolved issues izzit?

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

You mean I disagree with all the great happenings in Sin City? What is wrong with you? You can't read?

This is a glorious place to be in when everything is happening.

Is way far better than you buy submarine that cannot dive and your cows live in five stars condo

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

Hi marlin, you have been away for a long time.

Ⓜatilah $ingapura⚠️ said...

Yah, redbean. Go ahead twist your words.

Your "hatred" (perhaps too strong a word...nevermind) of the internationalisation of Singapore is well documented thanks to your own freedom of expression.

Can't you even feel some appreciation for people who have achieved, and are enjoying the fruits of their success?

Sad, man. Real fucking sad.

This is what happened when a society worships Lucre. The worship of Mammon is perfected by the power that be. First, you have Ministers who would not serve unless they are paid millions. Then you have cop-out policies that resort to fines if persuasion does not work. Littering - fine. Jay walking fine. Everything fine. This is a fine city.

So, we have leaders here who lead by example - money talks and talks loudly. Success is measured by your pay check. Not how much you contribute to society, the arts, the poor. No wonder so much shenanigans involving money - NKF, Ren Ci, LTA, SCDF, CNB, CHC, SPH - you name it.

Welcome to Sin City. Itis a Fine City.

Singapore's religion - Mammonism.

For those who can -> Sin ; for those who can't -> sinkie . We are not called sinkie for nothing.

Bang Cock ?

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

I only admire people who made their own money. I don't admire robbers.

Ⓜatilah $ingapura⚠️ said...

I think most level-headed and fair minded people feel the same.

Plenty of opportunity in Singapore to become your own self-made individual. There is no need to hate on wealth, unless of course you are jealous of others or are projecting your self-loathing and/ or inadequacies by shitting on other peoples' legal and morally-attained achievements.

Got envy?

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

I believe most bloggers here are level headed and fair minded people and they know what they are saying.

There are some with eyes but not see.

MS admires anyone that makes money, robbers better still.

MS, got robbers?

Our students are learning fast from our political leaders, religious leaders, teachers and principals.

Some are learning or have learnt from their fathers and mothers to sleep around to get contracts and favours.

Biznesses have used exclusion clauses in super fine prints.

Doctors, lawyers are true to Hypocrite Code, preachers and their followers are onto their wayward mode.

Sincity is vibrant, fun, thrilling and most importantly, very well governed.

redbean, who are the robbers? You better be ready to back it up.

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

That you must ask the robbers themselves, if you know them.

The world is full of evil men who make money by evil, shameful and dishonorable means.

"I only admire people who made their own money"

I assume FTs who made it here are not included? And what about local born red ICs poeple who made it through selling their products and services to FTs who are here ? e.g, retailers, restauranteurs, property developers ?

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

I must agree with you on this. Other than robbers I also despise people who are ashamed of their jobs and would not dare to tell people what they do, not even to their fathers.

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

Anon 2:55, you still did not get it don't you? Many FTs are earning decent money. Of course there are crooks and fakes. And is it not their faults.

Sinkies are not anti FTs, especially the really good ones.

Anonymous said...

anon 2:41, are you a robber? Why are you so worked up?

Anonymous said...

redbean you are the one who don't get it. We need FTs and FWs for 2 main purposes.

1. Provide labour. Low skilled labour to do many jobs sinkies deem too low,too hard or too little for them to do, like service jobs and construction. Medium skilled labour, to complement skill sets of locals in MNCs who came from overseas. And high skilled labour, which you have no problem with, and I assume it includes Bocker and others. And of course, with the right conditions, hopefully they will sink roots to supplement our pathetic birth rate. We have no resouces, just rock, our strength is our people, ie, it is artificial, not permanent.

2. Provide a Consumer market. So that businesses has more people to sell their things to, whether you are a taxi driver, a remisier, a insurance agent, a hospital, a food retailer etc etc.. Better business, better employment. More people also makes a place more vibrant, more tourism, more business opportunities, more income.

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

The low skilled and high skilled have never been an issue to Sinkies. It is the half baked skilled category that is the source of contention. And this is directly related to the increasing population problem.

When we were 2m or 3m, things were manageable, congestion, inflation, prices of cars and housing etc were acceptable. Now it is more than 5m and still talking about increasing when things are breaking down, going our of hand, and tension is rising.

It does not need to go to 6m when trouble will break out. It is already showing in some areas. At every population size it is enough and also not enough. The point is where is the optimum. The look of things we have gone past that and it is diminishing returns from here onwards.

Matilah,

I should have said "Success is measured ONLY by your pay check.

By their definition, ASSK, Nelson Mandela and Wen Jiabao are all not successful people.

Bernard Madoff and Nick Leeson are highly successful people.

>> ASSK, Nelson Mandela and Wen Jiabao are all not successful people.

They're not. Really, do you really think they are? One Bill Gates has done more good for humanity than all of the 3.

>> Bernard Madoff and Nick Leeson are highly successful people.

They are not either. They landed in jail, and had their assets seized. What's the point of having money when you can't spend it?

You really should drop the "ideologue" trip.

Trying to educate a Sinkie mind is a exercise in Futility. Refusing to see challenges and fragility of sinkieland. They righfully deserve what they have got.
