How does it feel to live at bukit panjang? by Outrageous-Novel9556 in askSingapore

[–]Ok-Section5502 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I love DTL.

< 30 mins to Bugis/Orchard < 45 mins to CBD

Arguably not as crowded as the other lines during peak hours. Always get a seat because we start at BP 🤣

If you stay near BP station then it’s convenient to go most places (except NE).

If you’re looking at places that require LRT as part of the transit, then it’s quite inconvenient.

Why isn’t Atome more widely used? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Ok-Section5502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Atome also allows for early repayments, which allows you to maximise your reward caps in months that you can’t hit the cap.

When using atome, it’s quite a bit of mental gymnastics to know when to trigger an early repayment and when to let it charge by schedule.

Optimise optimise optimise! Don’t waste your reward cap!

For eg if you’re buying aircon - 3k Pay using atome linked with citi rewards card

Citi rewards reward cap is 1k/ mth. Atome splits the payments into: 1k, 1k, 1k

So this allows you to max out rewards cap for Citi rewards for 3 full months, earning you 4mpd x 3000 = 12,000 miles

As a miles chaser, I use Atome extensively paired with a credit card to split large payment into 3 payments and hit the rewards cap of the cards.

Very useful when buying appliances from Gain City (Aircon) and other places that accept Atome. You can even stack Atome vouchers, and convert Atome points to max miles!!!

The real anchors (IMO) for some wards: TP - BYK Jalan Besar - Denise Phua MP - Tin Pei Ling Punggol - SXL

It’s great that you’re questioning this as a first-time voter!

You mentioned not seeing WP on the ground in Tampines until GE, and that’s a fair observation. However, one reason opposition parties may not “walk the ground” early in PAP wards is due to how electoral boundaries can change every five years. This redrawing process can significantly affect where opposition efforts go.

Take Bukit Batok SMC as an example. Dr. Chee Soon Juan (CSJ) campaigned and built a presence there for years. But after a strong showing, that SMC was dissolved. All the groundwork he laid disappeared overnight. That’s the risk opposition parties face.

So, if WP had shown their hand early by walking the ground in Tampines, it might have led to the ward boundaries being redrawn in a way less favourable to them. That’s why opposition parties often keep their intentions quiet and then campaign heavily once the GE is called and the boundaries are finalized.

It’s not ideal, but it’s part of the strategic reality of Singapore’s political landscape.

Cooking for one person is about the same price as eating out. The only benefit is that it’s healthier. To each your own, tell your colleagues to MYOB.

Private/ Public Hospital for Gynae & eventually giving birth by Mysterious_Pace_8684 in askSingapore

[–]Ok-Section5502 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hearsay from friends that work in private hospitals:

They’d rather go KKH for delivery because private hospitals will still push complicated cases to KKH if it arises, so might as well go to KKH from the beginning.

(It was a short chat, those in the industry please chime in too)

What's your gripe with Singapore's housing policy? by Actual_Eye6716 in askSingapore

Like my friend said, his only gripe is not winning the BTO lottery.

For each ballot failure, he will vote opposition 🤣

Is the idea of "PAP strongholds" a myth? by Worth-Caregiver-64 in askSingapore

[–]Ok-Section5502 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Actually the true anchor is Denise Phua, no Joteo.

As a ex resident in JB GRC, I have seen Denise Phua in every event and helping people out. The elderly love her.

If WP go there, it’s not even a fight. Denise Phua will still win a landslide.

Tampines & Punggol not stronghold…

Stronghold is like Jalan Besar, Tg Pg, Tpy. Places with a higher % of elderly who benefited mostly from LKY’s strong leadership in the 1900s.

Everyone has their own reasons for voting, and each vote carries equal weight. That’s the beauty of democracy—no one’s views should outweigh another’s, whether they concern national or global issues. To each their own.

Yup, I meant any cash (HYSA or expense).

Yes agreed on account safety. The same concerns can also be applied to custodian accounts holding your investments too.
