为国争光，把钱花光

[kennyleow]

Hi guys,

Just want to share with u something. Before I flew back from KLIA to SG, a Chinese tourist said this very loud in the watch shop.

No wonder they buy rolexlike buying casio.

.....typical 暴发户 mentality.....

[exxondus]

they are rich. come give us money ok wat

[bigfatpig]

Come to think of it, they also must have a huge amount of savings to have that 为国争光，把钱花光 mentality....

sorry bro, i eat kentang.. banana man can't read chinese. anyone care to translate?

thanks

The translation goes like this....'Do our country proud, spend all our money'! or 'Look here everyone, I can afford a Rolex'!

[cedric]

This is the version i heard some time back....

有钱不赌， 对不起父母， 赌光输光， 为国争光

Direct translation: If you got the money but don't gamble, you are letting your parents down. Gamble and lost all you money, you are doing your country proud...

P.S. Statement does not represent myself.. just something i heard way back...

This is the version i heard some time back....

The best part is, the lady was on the phone with a friend and she kept on repeating and repeating and repeating in the shop.

I was thinking what is she going to buy? In the end, went to check out the IWC in the shop. BTW, couldn't find rolex in KLIA.

To me...money cannot buy CLASS....

To me...money cannot buy CLASS....

Yah! She's got no class, she's crass!!! Typical loudmouth country side pumpkin. Spend abit of money like big deal liao! I know them too well cos I deal with them . Maybe TS should offer her a loud hailer so more people can notice she's about to spend a lot of money !

[feilong108]

i encountered many similar types....it is true that they DO have the money to spend due to the economy of the country but to say these kind of remarks are uncalled for....

Empty vessels make the most noise is the CORRECT phrase to use....

[Chunster69]

Looks like her 为国争光 mission just backfired....

[feilong108]

Have money and have class is two different matters....u can be average but classy....and rich but crude...

i prefer the former than latter....and by sprouting this kind of phrase make me cringed....i hope i dun come across fellow singaporeans overseas sprouting these kind of remarks...
