"If they have to come up with that kind of money, or resume paying concession fees, which are very heavy, it will be really tough." <BR/><BR/>ITV shares, which have fallen 70 per cent since Temasek's January acquisition of Shin Corp, fell another 9 per cent on news of the possible fine. <BR/><BR/>Thailand's Administrative Court ruled last month that a local arbitration panel had exceeded its authority in 2004 when it slashed iTV's hefty licence fees from 25 billion baht ($880 million) over 30 years to just 230 million baht a year.<BR/><BR/>theaustralian.news.com.auAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1159204034097019622006-09-26T01:07:00.000+08:002006-09-26T01:07:00.000+08:00Why Ho Ching is afraid ???

Afterall, it is our tax money not their money that get burn. You have to wonder how much money is down in drain but never get report.<BR/><BR/>When they make money, they celebrate and put into newspaper headline, and bah, and bah that they are perceived successful and good investment hindsight.<BR/>But so many failure in projects that eat up so much money never get publicised, and just cover up, and never get mention.<BR/><BR/>Is that hypercite or what ???? I don't know. It seek like that they like to say that all this cannot be reveal under pretext that it affected the security and stability of the country.<BR/><BR/>This is just utter bullshit. <BR/><BR/>We trust you the money, and should make accountable , not when we reach old age, you gov start telling us to change policy to prevent us from taking money out.<BR/><BR/>The gov need control not from themselves but third-party. <BR/><BR/>Mathair is right. Our Singapore leader has no right to critise their country when our country can't even set a good example of been critised, so is our old-man really get old and forget that principle ????<BR/><BR/>The gov under our current PM has already make a mockery of our country's legal system that I'm ashame to tell the world I'm a Singaporean.<BR/><BR/>Why ?
