Okay, for the sake of argument, let\u2019s say (lol) you\u2019re not a \u201cracist.\u201d The fact is that you are attacking an individual who is of Chinese descent and placing him on this pedestal as an individual who is taking down the government and \u201cowns\u201d most of the CNMI! And you say I\u2019m wearing this \u201cveil of ignorance.\u201d Did you even read what I wrote? I mean, come on! What do you use that thing between your ears for?<\/p>\n
Also, you wrote what you \u201cheard and believe.\u201d So your comments are based purely on hearsay, lies, and conjecture. Circumstantial or rather, third party info from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from the wife of a friend who is the wife of one of the guys she\u2019s doinking. Why write anything at all if all you care about is if your readers believe you or not? It would be more constructive if you wrote to express an educated opinion regarding the state of current affairs and possibly a solution.<\/p>\n
Maybe one day you\u2019ll find the time to go to the Court Recorder\u2019s office and do some actual research to substantiate all the claims you\u2019ve heard. All the info is there if you\u2019d just take the time to substantiate your outrageous claims!<\/p>\n
Also, your \u201cracist\u201d remark that maybe because most of the current investors are Chinese and Best Sunshine is from China, I should connect the dots. Do you still buy \u201cPainting by Numbers\u201d and claim that this is the picture you painted because you colored the numbered sections and didn\u2019t go outside the lines? When you say \u201cBig Financial Monster\u201d and you put the word \u201cChinese\u201d in front of it, that\u2019s \u201cracism\u201d!<\/p>\n
I particularly like the \u201cgreed\u201d claim. Every businessman or woman, or those who have their own businesses, are \u201cgreedy\u201d in that they set up their businesses to hopefully make enough money to either pass on to their children or create a better life! Isn\u2019t that the American Dream? To own and operate a successful business that could make them rich? Oh, wait. You wouldn\u2019t know anything about that because you\u2019ve never had one. Tell me you wouldn\u2019t want to be P. Diddy but we\u2019ll be using the pseudonym \u201cBig Mouthy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The truth is that most of all the current investors in the CNMI, which, considering our current financial crisis, are of Asian descent. <\/p>\n
Tan Holdings is a very successful family-owned business that, for the most part, was built from the ground up. Even after all the garment factories folded up and left town, many with ongoing labor cases and workers who had no place to go, were ripped off by their employers. Tan Holdings stayed and decided to increase their non-garment holdings by venturing into tourism and purchasing hotels and opening a tour company. It invested in the local people by foraying into an uncertain new industry, tourism.<\/p>\n
Now this is where you should have done your homework, Ambrose. You yourself tried to climb onboard the only thing we have left, tourism!<\/p>\n
I, for one, know most of the facts of how Tan Holdings came to be and one thing is definitely true is that the family knows how to start, operate, and build a successful company. They know the importance of hard work!<\/p>\n
Dr. Tan Siu Lin, the patriarch of the family, instilled in his children, the importance of education and hard work. He didn\u2019t hand over the \u201ckeys to the kingdom\u201d as some people think. He made them work hard but also to work smart.<\/p>\n
Now this is funny. \u201cI don\u2019t have to do any research on Tan Holdings. It\u2019s common knowledge.\u201d Who edjimacated you, Ambrose? <\/p>\n
\u201cHis pockets are full of money he made and is still making here in the CNMI but we are still suffering!\u201d Since when is it anybody\u2019s responsibility to save us from ourselves? Are you actually hearing yourself? You missed your calling. You should be doing stand-up because you are hilarious!<\/p>\n
Political connections? All of us have political connections. I have many! Except mine just happen to be friends who were voted by the people to be tasked to look after our best interests. Don\u2019t you have friends who are elected officials?<\/p>\n
Oh, by the way, Sister Theresa was actually Mother Theresa and she gave all of herself. She is the perfect example of human decency who also looked for the good in people, unlike you, slinking in the background like the snake you are, looking for anything and everything that you can use to see your name in print. However, her contributions were of the heart and brought out the injustice to the soul. She is saintly and should not be used as an indicator to spruce up your diatribe.<\/p>\n
You are truly a ridiculous man. You\u2019re saying that any businessman should put the people first before himself and his family. It\u2019s one thing to be a liberal, it\u2019s another thing to allow a man to spread propaganda about others hoping that his \u201cfoot in mouth\u201d Hail Mary speech.<\/p>\n
I have never endorsed anyone for political office in the media. All I am doing is speaking out for my friends, who you don\u2019t know and never will. You are not in \u201cour\u201d class. You are a ridiculous little man who has way too much time on his hands so instead of doing something constructive in your retirement, you choose to inflame the masses with your diatribe and conjecture, insulting people who won\u2019t respond to you directly because they\u2019re too busy working, making money, doing things constructive to help our people, be it through donations or as elected public servants.<\/p>\n
This is my last letter to the likes of you because the check your mouth wrote but your ass can\u2019t cash has bounced!<\/p>\n
