"So if it's for the benefit of all Singaporeans we should just accept it and look back and say now we have moved on to 7 percent, see what the government can actually give back to us, in what transparent way so people will not question further," said Ricky Ng.

It's interesting to note that ChannelNewsAsia didn't seem to bother cleaning up the quotes, choosing instead to print them verbatim. Horrible grammar. And the benefit of all Singaporeans my ass la.

"Yes we do a lot in terms of in direct investment in them, education, transport, it's all subsidised there are a lot of investments in these areas, directly the students feel 'Hey what am I getting?

MPs have bad grammar too. The news agency should have at least edited his to spare him the embarrassment.

"So therefore, with a fully recovered economy by 2006, plus moving forward, 2007, 2008, 2009 the two integrated resorts coming, I think tourism be driving the Singapore economy strongly, which will bring along with them education hub, health care hub, transport hub, telecommunication hub, financial and private banking," said Assoc Prof Tan Khee Giap, ASEAN Economies Monitoring Unit, Nanyang Technological University.

This joker too. It's almost a pain to read isn't it. And, if "all goes well" we'll all be wealthy immortals without a single care in the world.
