the figure now is 629

629 - it's high enough for malaysia to pull out from the FIRST EVER asian youth games. it seems like for ONCE the malaysian government (or whoever made that decision) is smarter than singapore's, for once.

correct me, but i don't think any form of game will make things better, except for bringing in more imported H1N1 and burning money as symbolised by the torch. then again, i need not be corrected.

the F1 is an even bigger joke. What was the figure again that was needed to just keep the lights on for the FIRST EVER night race? And why is there now 2 F1 race championships? What's the budget again to keep the fuel-burning beast on the tracks?

And Singapore needed how many millions again to push the NUS hostel completion forward just for the FIRST EVER youth olympics? that is until it came to its senses to just shift location to NTU.

with or without H1N1, jokes like these burn money.

my friend accused me of communism.

Let me tell you this - that brainchild of Karl Marx is perfect, just that humans are inherently selfish, just like me who hates all youth games and F1 cause they do not interest me at all and burn taxpayer's money. Not that i pay tax, but i wouldn't mind a few millions in my bank account since it's going to be wasted anyway.
