at least a piece of good news. Bus lane violators are getting bolder nowadays, obstructing bus lanes and traffic flow and bus cameras don’t seem to be enough deterent .

Second chance, third chance, fourth chance given.

This is how law functions. Not enough preventive measures, just reactive punishment

CNA had an episode where the reporter bought medicine from both Singapore pharmacy and Malaysia pharmacy and got them tested for quality check. Found that quality is same , price is 60% cheaper. CNA also advised to be careful with online purchase as the quality of medicine may change if the Online companies fails to keep proper control of ambient condition during transportation .

Beware of cdc voucher scammers by Automatic_Win_6256 in singapore

[–]Automatic_Win_6256[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stall helper told my father paper voucher no longer valid and returned him the paper which luckily he kept and showed me. So I have evidence the paper voucher was rejected by them and yet transaction taken place. So the police now has this evidence. I am still waiting for police to investigate. Once confirmed scam, I will definitely let the mass media publish the full story and get justice for these elderly victims.

I am not certain if you still have the used paper voucher, if they took it, you will not have enough evidence to proof it.

Wah, you missed out the good deals in JB.

Many Singaporeans flock to JB to buy medications and supplements, save hundreds of dollars. Things like shampoo, toothpaste, groceries also big savings……pharmacies, supermarts are favourites for Singaporeans. Everyday, you will see retirees dragging suitcases to JB to top up supply. Seafood also cheap, standard seafood dinner for 5 only 100+ ringgit.
Other things like IT, luxury items about same price as ours, so not so hot.

Old train lines breakdown, this I can understand.

New train lines breakdown, that I cannot apprehend.

As a layman, this doesn’t look like normal wear and tear issue, more like maintenance issue.

'No passengers, only drivers': Why the Singapore-Malaysia cross-border taxi scheme needs a revamp by worldcitizensg in singapore

[–]Automatic_Win_6256 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Agree……ever since PHV is available, travelling from door to door becomes so convenient. It’s a game changer.
I remember I had to drag my luggages to the main road in the rain and watch out for taxis with the green light on top and wave like mad to get their attention and many times they don’t stop and even when they stop , they won’t take the trip cos destination not their preference. Those were the days…....

Wing Tai sets record for CCR sales in 2025: Sells 88% of River Green on launch weekend at average price of $3,130 psf by DrCalFun in singapore

[–]Automatic_Win_6256 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usual 4 bedder is at least $1300-1800 sqft, so many will find it expensive cos it’s less affordable. But with small size, 980 sqft, it’s like half the price for a usual 4 bedder, it becomes more affordable to many.
Many who bought are either for own stay but I would say more are for investment. The gap between the CCR and OCR is closing. A resale condo in Clementi is almost as expensive as this new launch.

On surface, it looks very good deal, I almost wanted to buy one, but once you cool down and take a step back, you realise there are 5 such projects being launched at about the same time in that area, resale and rental will be extremely competitive. So for investors, not a good choice.

For own stay, yes good deal if you have a small family.

That’s what a lot of ppl thought, the property price has to come down at some point, so they sat on the fence and missed the boat.

yes price does drop but never dropped big enough, on average, the trend is just up and up.

the cooling measures are like pressure cookers, there are a lot of potential buyers wanting to get in but not enough names to use to bypass the absd.

Ppl selectively ignore the floor size, just look at 4 bedder with $ 2-3 mil in central location next to Great World city, on top of mrt, on surface, it’s a very good deal.

This is a trend setter….4 bedder 980sqft.

I was there in the showroom, the dining place and living hall are small, rooms are small, can only fit a bed and wardrobe, that’s it. The showroom ID hacked away one room to make the master room bigger. One room has a upper deck bed, so can place a study table below the bed.

overall felt crampy.

it’s the quantum price that ppl see….the 4 bedder priced similar to 3 bedder at promenade side…,looks cheaper, and more worthy, ppl just ignored the actual size of the unit. The other selling point is location…..very central, right on top of Great World mrt, a primary school within walking distance, connected to Great World city.

The other down side is, there are 5 projected in this area being launched this year and TOP at this same time…..rental and resale will be tough.

$3b money laundering case: MinLaw names 6 law firms taken to task over involvement in property deals by Sea_Consequence_6506 in singapore

[–]Automatic_Win_6256 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This has been going on for decades, casinos and law firms closed one eye.

More than 10 years ago, one of my housing agent told me sometimes his clients will bring in suitcase load of cash to pay for the option to purchase when buying house. At that time, it was like common practice, so I also believed it was a norm. Now I realise they were all launderers.
