yes.....and did you notice that the security is much much better in Asian countries than those angmoh countries? hahahaha.......what a joke!
no one can spare from the fact of having their friends and foes ... Singapore YOG torch rally may face difficulties depending on where the rally took place....
the current problem of Olympic torch rally may have chosen the wrong place in the first instant..
so the conclusion is a robber don't hang around among the police and a banker don't lend his money to the bankrupt...
Informatic?
Informatic is no change whatsoever.
the angmohs also ever complained about the human right issue in Singapore. Remember Chee SC. Those angmohs just want to protest for the sake of protest......their life is actaully very boring. No entertainment in their countries........closed very early. Hahahaha
no lar...when the ang mohs protest...they got a reason in doing so...the recent Olympics torch relay protest is due to the Tibet issue...as for our YOG nothing to protest ma...should be a happening affair...unless ang mohs who come Singapore get angry whenever they sit taxi and pass by many ERP...well...tt may spark off protest

True lah... I agree with you also lah.
National pride and honour is immeasurable and cannot be quantified in terms of $$..
being a host to the first YOG...first F1 Night Race...first...quite an impact i think...its an honour too
I'm not trying to be a wet blanket but I think this event will have limited effect on our economy.
Although I am happy that Singapore got it, I think that the Youth Olympics will still be regarded as a side show when compared with the real Olympics.
I think the F1 race will have a better effect.
Singapore will benefit as a whole
aya dont need to look far....UOL is definitely gonna benefit from it....
1) it is trading at below NAV of 4.91 ?
2)Hotels,office/residential properties..etc
3)whatever that are related to sport events(this wan tok kok only) ....hee
oil company...becoz they need transportation to ferry the atheletes around the city....also fly them into Spore
I still have informatic shares. up up and away!
Informatics Education will benefit cos it is IT focus for young savvy people around the whole. Look at Informatics sponsoring the American Idol show and we'll know that is the focus. :D
make it simple, use your CPF OA account or cash to buy Lion Capital Singapore funds.
in 3 -5 years time, you will fantastic results, not to mention it gave u almost 40% returns in just year 2007, much better than stocks return !
Here's my guess list of businesses that would benefit from the youth olympic.
1. Hotels.
2. Airlines and transport companies.
3. Food and Beverage companies.
4. Retail shopping malls.
5. Food courts and hawker centres.
... there could be more but too tired to think now.
What are some of the companies may be benefited from this bid?

S'pore to host first Youth Olympics
It won the right to stage the games in a straight contest up against Moscow. It will be the first time for the city-state to host a multi-disciplinary sporting event of such a magnitude.
The brainchild of IOC chief Jacques Rogge, the Youth Olympics will feature traditional sports such as athletics and swimming, but also some innovative events such as beach-wrestling and BMX bike riding.
Mr Rogge made the announcement himself from the IOC headquarters in Lausanne.
Primarily aimed at encouraging youngsters to get involved in sport and spend less time in front of computer and television screens, the games will see 3,500 athletes aged between 14 and 18 competing in 26 sports.
Singapore is proposing 24 venues, with four being built as temporary facilities, including one large cluster of 13 in its Marina-Kallang area.
The Youth Olympic Village would be located at a new US$423-million student residential complex at the National University of Singapore, slated for completion months before the event.
Singapore is budgeting US$75.5 million to run the event covering everything from educational and cultural programmes to development of services and transport. -- AFP
