I just knew

someone will rebutt

my previous post

on the haze

and Singapore's money laundering.

True,

I agree with you.

These are two separate issues

and rightfully mutually exclusive

from one another.

But politicians

are ALWAYS linking

separate issues.

Look at Malaysia.

What the hell does

Singapore's supply of water

from Johore

have anything at all

to do with the

customs, excise and quarantine department

in Woodlands?

You tell me.

And I tell you,

its all political

one uppance.

People are naturally proned

to linking separate issues.

Women are particularly good

at that.

Everytime there is a quarrel

with a boyfriend or husband,

invariably

something from the past

totally unrelated

to the current issue

gets brought up

and fought over.

ALWAYS.

Ultimately,

you fight over issues

that has absolutely nothing

to do with the current.

You asked me for proof

of Singapore's money laundering?

I don't have an exhautive list,

other than what's recent

on Indonesian papers.

Bambang Sutrisno US$162 million

Sudjiono Timan US$120 million

Pauline Lumowa US$184 million

They're living in expensive

penthouses

in Orchard Road.

There's a lot more but

guess you won't read

about them

in Shit Times.
