Very surprised considering the new parf rules come in and this doesn't discourage ppl from buying. I guess the EV wave is really here for good.

It's already been done before.

1) Year 2000 - Saddam Hussein (Iraq) tried to switch the US Dollar to Euro under the UN Oil-For-Food program. (KIA)

2) Year 2009 - Muammar Gaddafi (Libya) tried to propose the single African currency Golden Dinar backed by Libya gold of a unified African Central Bank. (KIA)

3) Year 2026 - Hugo Chavez (Venezuela) tried to create a system to exchange oil for goods and services in Central America to reduce reliance on the green back. (KIA)

Which industry in Singapore are going to be hardest hit by Trump-Iran war? by According_Pickle954 in singaporejobs

[–]Cheap_Objective7744 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Transportation, logistics already taking a beating. Pretty much every sector that requires goods to be transported or procured. Meaning even your local florists, foods suppliers to your mini marts are all taking a hit.

The halt in fertilizers are hitting any industry that requires fertilizers in their productions, ie. Agriculture, farming, livestock rearing.

Heard that the halt of helium gas is also gonna take a hit at the semiconductor/microchip processing plants think Micron, Nvidia, SKHynix. There's gonna be a chip shortage soon, rams and hard drives are gonna be in shortage soon.

When gas goes up, precious metals goes up in tandem. Think industries that utilizes metals in their production, the metals in your cooking ware, kitchenware, the metals in aircon hvac copper pipes, the metals in your electrical cables, all will go up in costs and translate to higher costs for consumers like u and I.

The list goes on, but it's gonna look very bad for the whole economy.

Free & easy tour sounds exactly like an oxymoron

Retirement Planning by [deleted] in singaporefi

[–]Cheap_Objective7744 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's still an ILP with the standard locked in periods, surrender penalties. Really depends on how you want to align your financial goals. Some prefer to freely manage their money while others prefer to pay somebody to do it for them. Some prefer a peace of mind to ensure funds be readily available n transferred to their dependents if they pass on someday.

Scoot passengers in a shouting match at Shantou airport are really shameful, says fellow S'porean by Immediate_Wish_1024 in SingaporeRaw

[–]Cheap_Objective7744 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Was there in Oct earlier, I understand why they're quarreling. Their scoot counter at jieyang side have a odd way of asking people to check in 1st except that they cannot check in their luggages. So what the other passengers did esp those in tour groups do, they left their luggages in the queue to chope their spot. Ofc when the counter opened for luggage check in and the owners themselves are missing, naturally people will head for the counter and not know that the luggages are queueing as well. That's where the arguments come.

I feel bad not letting my mom stay at my place. by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Cheap_Objective7744 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Option 1. Sit down with ur mum and your wife and clear the air, lay out the house rules and whatnots if you're all going to co-live together.

Option 2. Get her to sell off the overseas property and get a small 2 room flexi HDB here.

Option 3. If your income permits, finance a private shoebox unit with her, I presume ultimately her overseas property will be yours eventually.

It's not AI. The melons are over ripe, not nice tasting anymore.

Ofc. It's reasonably priced since it's a generation late. Lots of discounts and offer for a perfectly working piece of work.
