Singapore-Banjir?

Well, i wouldnt want to open a debate on this matter. Correct me if im wrong,But it seems rather strange that none of the mainstream media had reported that Singapore had a slight flood problem (not that i care). Compare this with the amount of coverage Malaysia gets on the floods. Just try googling Google News for "Malaysia", and a whole host of foreign newspapers are covering the flood situation in Malaysia. To make matters worse, reports are suggesting that certain parts of the Peninsular will be facing a drought season soon, im guessing it aint good coverage for Tahun Melawat Malaysia 07'. One wonders if the target of 60,000 tourists/day can be achieved with an initial target of 20 million tourists by year-end. WOw!





p/s: One minute, a minister says that there aren't any second contributions to those affected by the the second wave of floods in Johor. Another minute, the PM/TPM announces that there will be additional contributions. Kudos to PM/TPM, but i really think that the RM200 is nothing with consideration of today's Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). But at least it's something, right?
