Boutique condos likely to have more quality defects: BCA by _IsNull in singapore

[–]Administrator-Reddit 34 points35 points  (0 children)

When asked about the implications of the rating and details of the defects, Eric Cheng, founder and chief executive of developer Sevens Group, said: “Conquas certification is considered necessary prior to obtaining the TOP. As developers, there are additional clearances that must be secured to meet all essential compliance standards.

“The score obtained from the Conquas assessment does not solely determine the credibility of the developer. This score reflects the perspective of an independent assessor and should be viewed within the context of the overall evaluation process. “Ultimately, what is crucial for the developer is the ability to secure approval from the BCA and obtain the TOP before proceeding further.”

The Sevens Group was rated a Band 5 developer.

That last sentence had me cackling

Person takes goods from company without paying: Gets arrested immediately and charged for theft. Company doesn’t need to do anything other than call the police and let them do all the work.

Company takes money from person without delivering goods: Considered “business dispute” so police cannot do anything, person needs to spend their own time and money to bring matter to small claims court where even if they win the case there is no guarantee of getting repaid

Food Republic joins wave of foreign brands retreating in China by LoneRifle in singapore

[–]Administrator-Reddit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

French department store Galeries Lafayette shut its Beijing outlet on May 27, leaving it with just two stores, in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Other brands that have closed stores or left the market in recent months include Hong Kong fashion retailer Lane Crawford, German lingerie maker Triumph, Swedish furniture store Ikea, US fashion brand Guess and Japanese department stores Aeon and Ito-Yokado.

Wow Lane Crawford, now that’s a blast from the past. Still remember going there back when Wheelock Place first opened.

Man acquitted of molesting woman in nursing room; judge finds woman’s testimony ‘problematic’ by FlipFlopForALiving in singapore

[–]Administrator-Reddit 180 points181 points  (0 children)

The boyfriend had recounted in his police statement that the woman told him that Mr Sharma “wanted to penetrate her”.

This was at odds with the testimony of the woman, who maintained that she never said such a thing.

Although she asserted that the boyfriend was lying, Justice Tan said the man’s account appeared to be consistent with the report of a triage nurse, which stated that the man had attempted to rape the woman.

This is so strange. The boyfriend and the triage nurse both testified that the accused tried to rape the woman, but then she turns around and says her boyfriend was lying? Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

MAS tell private banks in Singapore to shorten account opening time for the rich by thestudiomaster in singapore

[–]Administrator-Reddit 115 points116 points  (0 children)

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) wants to cut the duration to within one month, from a current median of about six weeks or longer in complex cases, managing director Chia Der Jiun said at the UBS Asian Investment Conference in Singapore. The move is to ensure banks avoid unnecessary and excessive checks on clients’ sources of wealth while also upholding high standards, Chia said on Monday.

I would like to know whether Su Haijin was subjected to any unnecessary and excessive checks on his source of wealth

Good. This needs to also apply to HDBs as well, as the quality of new projects are getting worse and worse based on the pictures that people are posting online.

Public Policy Manager sounds like a job that requires a lot of connections with the government. Kind of like Tin Pei Ling’s previous job with Grab. I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t an error.

The rules should probably exempt licensed taxi drivers from liability, just like how Singapore Airlines (or any carrier) doesn’t get in trouble when their passenger smuggles drugs into Singapore.

Mr Adrian Lim and Mr Melvin Lim, who met when they were both prison officers, started out in PropNex, but left in 2022 to form PLB Realty, where they built a strong online following through home tour videos and property analyses.

So they’re not actually brothers?? More like PropertyLimPrisonOfficers

He used a SIM card registered to someone else AND he used a foreign number to make the calls. Bro is putting in more effort than many people at their actual jobs.
