Never trust anybody in Singapore
I went to thank Mr. Neil Russell for all that he is doing for my student visa purpose. The other day my conversation with him was quite like this…
NR: You weren’t getting visa of a single country and now you are getting two. (Pointing at Australia and Singapore).
I: Yeah, I’m lucky I guess. I’ll know a new country. My brother is very interested in business. Maybe, I can help him do business in Singapore.
NR: Yeah… for business Singapore is a great place but never trust anybody there if you are doing cash business.
I: Why?
NR: There are many Indians and Chinese there who will always cheat you.
I: Are they that bad?
Rubel was sitting there beside Russell. He said, “You are going there, you will see that yourself.”
NR: Yes, it’s good not to do cash business there. Use check.
I: What about education and other things there?
NR: It’s a beautiful country. The roads and houses are very clean. The education would be good I hope since your all teachers will be Australian there. It’s just the business that is tough there…
I was there for four and a half years. In 1992 I purchased a plain full of computers from a Singaporean girl. And I made a huge profit there.
I: Is computer very cheap there?
NR: Yeah, very cheap. I took the computers from cargo and put them in a military plain and sold them to Russia. The girl from whom I bought those computers was of just 19 years old. I gave her a bag full of money.
I: Just 19-year-old girl doing business?
NR: Yeah, then a 19 year old girl. Rubel, did I tell you the story of that girl’s boy friend taking all that money from her?
Rubel: No.
NR: Her boyfriend cheated her and took all that money from her. Singaporeans cheat with their own people too. So you better be careful.
