Our SS is not Mossad level so we better not play that card   One small move and we are exposed

So send sharp elbow to apologise?   Why not the Yes No superstar that is worth gadzillions?   Just tell these companies if they do not want to cooperate then please take their companies elsewhere   Why so despo?   These Indo towkays have more to lose if their G knows how much they have in Singapore   This to me is the result of the dishonourable and his policies on attracting these family offices   None of these business people are honourable. They dont get where they are today in Indo being law abiding.
