goverment is giving out money again - a sign that elections is definitely around the corner. haha. before elections they give out lots of money. after elections, they take back even more. think income taxes, ERP, COE, GST etc. you get the idea. *grin* they may be giving out $3.6b, but they will get back even more. that's money making for you. come to think of it, as long as there is a business that guarantees a huge profit, you can be sure that the business will be partly owned by the government. look at the airport, telecommunications, bank, power supply, gambling, and check out their latest addition: the "integrated resorts". to quote a taxi driver, the government is like "gangsters with license". mmmm... there is certain amount of truth to that. *wink*
