Foxwoods is the biggest casino in USA and is operated by the Mashantucket Pequot tribe funded by Genting in 1992.
From harvesting lettuce and maple syrup, we have now become the most profitable casino in the world. Before Lim, we only knew poverty. It was with his faith and trust that we are what we are now.
- Michael Thomas, chairman of the Native American Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation.
The late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong?s legacy does not only live on in Genting, but halfway round the world in the Native American tribe of the Mashantucket Pequot.
Unknown to most Malaysians, in 1991 the late Goh Tong helped the tribe that was struggling to grow cabbage by investing in their idea of building a casino, the Foxwoods Resort & Casino, which has now become the largest casino in the world. The chairman of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, a sovereign nation within the US located in the state of Connecticut, Michael Thomas said the tribe owed a great deal to Lim for his vision and his confidence in them.
The tribe had approached 23 lending institutions who all turned them down for funding because they were afraid the loan would not be repaid.
A very hands on person, Lim Goh Tong travelled to meet the tribe and see for himself what was this Native American tribe was about and what their ancient values were. And within 48 hours, he agreed to give his support in the form of a US$60mil (RM200mil) investment. To show the magnitude of this seed funding, the revenue for the US government is close to US$2.7bil today from the casino operations of Foxwoods.
During his passing, the tribe gave all due respect in traditional manner. Thomas said this included all buildings in the nation flying their flag at half-mast for a week, while a sacred stone called Wampum which is sourced from a clam called the Quohog would be given to the family. It was important for the world to know that it was the faith Goh Tong had in them that allowed them to succeed beyond their wildest dreams.
Therefore if you have ethics, values, family values, and finally believe, things can change for the better.

Wednesday: 27 10 2010 How Health Minister Khaw paid $8 for his heart bypass ... Neo Chai Chin
In order to reiterate the importance of adequate coverage [who covers for him ? emplOyer ? persOnal ?], Mr Khaw said in his latest blog post yesterday that his operation, at the National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS), was mostly paid for by MediShield and a private Shield supplement, while Medisave helped in the co-payment of the rest of his hospital bill. According to figures on the Ministry of Health website, the bill for heart bypass surgery is less than $30,000 for nine in 10 patients staying in an A class ward in NHCS. Those covered under MediShield — a basic insurance scheme for CPF members — can choose to top up their basic coverage by supplementing it with plans from private insurers, while Medisave allows members to dip into its accounts to pay for hospitalisation expenses. Recounting a recent meeting with health insurers, Mr Khaw also flagged the possibility of extending MediShield to cover mental illness, congenital illness and neonatal treatment. Mr Raymond Fernando, whose wife suffers from schizophrenia, told MediaCorp such a move would “greatly help in relieving my financial burden… and, hopefully, lead to other insurers taking the cue”. It could also reduce the stigma of mental illnes and encourage more patients to come forward, said Mr Fernando. Another idea f loated during Mr Khaw’s meeting with the health insurers was to raise the MediShield claim limits on outpatient cancer care, which stand at $300 per weekly treatment cycle and up to $2,800 for radiotherapy treatment. Mr Khaw added that there was also discussion on raising the monthly payout for ElderShield — a severe disability insurance scheme — to extend the monthly basic payout of $400 and to extend the payout period beyond six years.

Wednesday: 27 10 2010 How Health Minister Khaw paid $8 for his heart bypass ... Neo Chai Chin
help themselves, four new co-operatives could be in the pipeline, according to the Singapore National Co-operative Federation. The first such co-op — to cater food for nursing homes — could be up-and-running by the end of the year. Other proposals initiated by those in their 50s and 60s under consideration are co-ops to provide travel and human resources services, said SNCF chief executive Dolly Goh. A fourth — offering jobs in quilt-making and goodie bag packing — is initiated by the Central and Southeast community development councils. Asked how the proposed co-ops would make a difference, Mrs Goh noted that the food catering co-op could result in more nutritious food for nursing and aged home residents. “If they come together and provide food catering for many homes, then they could get probably a nutritionist, a dietician to provide special food for special needs of the elderly,” she said. There are 82 co-operatives in Singapore and 71 of them are affiliated with the SNCF. Senior-targeted co-ops are one of SNCF’s new areas of focus. Meanwhile, Agency for Integrated Care is partnering Temasek Cares — the philanthropic arm of Temasek Holdings — to boost the intermediate and long-term care sector. Temasek Cares will be providing $650,000, of which $400,000 will go to the Salvation Army Bedok Multi-Service Centre, towards expanding its services beyond rehabilitation which would include extra meals, nursing and personal care services. In addition to just therapists, a visiting doctor, a nurse and case manager, among others — will help coordinate each patient’s care needs. The project caters to elderly who are wheelchair-bound, or who require assistance in feeding, toileting or personal grooming. The remaining $250,000 will help attract new talent and beef up staff ranks in healthcare voluntary welfare organisations.
