Not Nineteen Forever

Random Fact of The Day : I read Wikipedia

And I came across this.

Click on it if you can't read it.
Its from this page anyway




For those of you who don't know, Raffles( its not just a school, hotel and MRT station) is the consider as  founder of the MotherLand, not that other guy getting all the credits, ( He had help from some Dutch guy anyway) who is slowly transforming into a terminator or something and actually stands a decent chance to out live me.

I guess Raffles truly have foresight. 188 years later, the Motherland opened its 1st  gambling den Casino Integrated Resort after the power aboves sold  issued 2 Gambling Licenses. And what do you know ? I quote from the Straits Times


Eight in trouble linked to casino


"IT HAS been four days since the casino at Resorts World Sentosa opened, and already eight people have ended up in trouble with the law..."

Read The rest

before it get remove I guess.



Same for the Wikipedia Entry ~ Before it get discredited with statements like " Wikipedia is not a reliable source for information because anyone can edit it" or something in similar tone.




Hope Raffles not flipping in his grave because this time round, nobody is going to get dismiss. Its just another honest mistake, like how some dangerous cripple can break out of a detention centre.


Sooner or later, someone will just have to come out and declare "We long ago had issue gambling Licenses to Singapore Pools. The RAISE in Crime rate has nothing to do with the Casino ".




P.S I am not against the Casino Integrated Resort, I intend to visit it some time in the future once I save up enough money. I am merely admiring Raffle's foresight. Wonder if he can give me 6 numbers for the 10M toto draw for sucking up to him  ?
