Enron always got a good Press until disaster struck. Forbes was the only clue we had as to what Mr Kuok, who owns the Post, did in the war in Singapore. He joined Mitsubishi in 1941 as soon as the Japs arrived.. Trust Forbes. Distrust sponsorship by shitbag equity companies.

The only article that I can find that comes close to that is a Forbes 2001 article that quotes some guy saying "Noble is becoming a mini-Enron of emerging markets". UCL merely held a 13% PE stake in Noble at the time of the article. Has UCL been referred to as the Enron of Asia?

Our host, apart from being sponsored by the Enron of Asia, has never answered that one... I agree Crispin but tell me honestly…what other system do Hong Kong people DESERVE?

It is the norm to just make up whatever number you like and report it up the chain, hence why China's national statistics are wholly unreliable. Therefore, one can only conclude that in the spirit of harmony and integration with the motherland, the BF and A for CD are merely following tried and true methods of their superiors. Toadies toeing the party line as it were. Carry on gentlemen, spewing your garbage that no one believes anyway. It seems Hemlock is not familiar with statistical practices in the mainland.

Much more representative of a Hong Kong sector than a Bauhinia survey. The Carrot Bomber comments also missed the point: 1. He teaches for the British Council. 2. He is a vegan or vegetarian. Isn't it time we banned such people from travelling by air? The mixture of hot air and methane gas render such people hazardous to all, even on short flights.
