		<description>Killer,

Learn to comprehend English and the difference between BILLIONS and TRILLIONS.

No wonder you try to disparage chao keuy teow sellers - they can count better than you and hence exhibit much more intelligence than you.  That's why you are so envious of them....</description>

		<description>Killer,

Told you about the 100 ATMs already.  With 72 ATM locations, not difficult to realize there are at least 100 ATM machines at these locations as many ATM locations have more than one ATM per location.

So do you still think Maybank is the ONLY foreign bank with significant presence in Singapore?

and Citibank is just a small time bank in Singapore?

ROTFL!</description>

		<description>Killer,

Don't attempt to change things. You are beneath the intelligence and dignity of a noodle seller so don't insult them.

Here is what you originally stated:

1) You stated that Maybank is the only FOREIGN bank with significant presence in Singapore.  I proved you WRONG by stating that Citibank also has significant presence in Singapore with more ATMs than Maybank. So what you said was a LIE! 

2) An average person understands the difference between BILLIONS of dollars and TRILLIONS of dollars.  You originally stated TRILLIONS of dollars. You obviously are not an average person and not a noodle seller as they certainly have more brain matter than what little resides in your cranium.  LIE again.

3) Malaysia quality of life = Singapore quality of life?  LIE thrice!</description>

So you admit that you were wrong and had consulted someone else to advise on econ ?

That's OK, I understand. No harm in asking someone who knows better. It is always good to learn something new.

But I do see some merit when you (or your friend) bring up the point of depreciation of RM vis-a-vis SGD. This is of course is true. But I guess I had explained this before but just for your benefit I will explain one more time.

The exchange theory has all kind of parameters for determining the rate between two currencies but the real rate on the market is often depending on many other factors (market related and also due to govt intervention). 

The current exchange rate between SGD and RM certainly reflects the level of development between MY and SG but this are not the only factor. Another key factor is that MY has been long artifically kept undervalued by the govt for various reasons. Other factors likely to be SG's role as the financial and trade center, their location as the HQ for many MNCs and the usage of SG port by MY firms for exports. 

Anyway it was a good debate and as long as we keep emotion is check, I have no problem with that.</description>

Please do not evade my question and show me an indpendent source that shows Citibank has more than 100 ATMs. And don't use your "logical deductions" for what is logical for a noodle seller might not be logical for the average person. BTW I see even your counting is wrong, perhaps you didn't even complete your primary school. Not only that you trying to mislead people but you also claim wiki to be outdated which you had earlier given as evidence to support your claim. Once you realised you had shot yourself in the foot, you switch tactics and trying another trick.

BTW, for the Indonesian money the article clearly states that some crook "stole untold billions of dollars’ worth of assets". Any average person understands that dollars means US$. But that's OK, noodle seller like you are not considered as an average person in IQ, so your confusion is understood.</description>
