racha Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Just announced in the last days.............. Thursday, June 5, 2003 Singapore Sars alert ends Tourists from Singapore are now able to enter Phuket and Thailand generally without a Sars health check. The World Health Organization has removed the island nation from its list of Sars-alert countries. Weerasit Raden, Chief of Port Health, Phuket International Airport, told the Gazette that travelers arriving from Hong Kong, Taiwan and China still require a medical check at the airport, where they will each receive a health passport requiring them to visit local hospitals or clinics for regular checks, or alternatively to wear a surgical mask during their stay.

legover Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 'and Singapore is once again the expensive, soulless shopping mall that it was before the panic set in' . . . with the snotty sing girls with attitudes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted June 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 snotty sing girls with attitudes You mean the Five C's - Car, Cash, Credit, Career and Condo ? I get the distinct feeling that the smart young things in both Singapore and Hong Kong are in for a rude awakening over the next decade, as China reasserts itself as THE economic power in the region. I'm not talking about plastic toys here either - I'm talking about offshore financial services at rates that these overpriced centres simply cant match. The Singaporeans are survivors - they'll find an angle : it may simply mean that Daddy cant continue to make the payments on two Mercs AND support his mistress at the same time Times have been tough in HK for some time, and will only get tougher, IMO.
