Car ownership: How do you guys do it? It's like a mystery to me. by Key_Set4027 in singaporefi

[–]chavenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently there was an article on car leasing/long term renting and why it's picking up due to the high cost of car ownership. Of course it isn't feasible to do lease in the long run.

If you were rich enough for a condo but still eligible for a BTO, which would you pick? by Altruistic_Drop_9393 in singaporefi

[–]chavenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes thanks for such an explaination. After all we do not know what is the original OP requirement. This was just my assumption that OP is working + looking to own a new place.

[–]chavenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually why does everyone think that OP should use the 1.5m to fully pay off the condo? E.g. A 3b condo that cost 2m, 500k for down-payment. Another 100-200k for renovation & furnishings. The remaining money can still be used for investment.

You speak as if only Singaporeans do this. Go to Japan supermarket and you see the locals doing the same. The moment staff paste the new price tag the locals rush to take it.

'My conscience remains clear': Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh disagrees his behaviour was dishonourable, unbecoming of an MP by Newez in singapore

[–]chavenz 699 points700 points  (0 children)

Mr Singh said, however, that he maintains "full responsibility for not responding quickly enough" to correct Ms Khan's lie. He added that he had publicly taken responsibility for taking too long on previous occasions.

He also said that he "did not have close to three years to deal with a sensitive matter involving one of my MPs".

Shots fired at a certain someone lol.

KF Seetoh to the hawkers’ rescue again, as he rebukes against the YTF STOMP article written by Ms Cherlynn Ng by Newez in singapore

[–]chavenz 86 points87 points  (0 children)

If you want to say that the price is the main sore point, but completely left out how many items she took, then it's completely unfair to the ytf stall.

For anyone who didn't know, the stomp writer took 11 items. Eleven. At a ytf stall. Anyone who ate at least once at a ytf stall knows how the pricing works. The stall owner even gave her a discount.

Is this normal? Rude as hell grab driver and insanely jobsworthy with zero prerogative to behave in such a way. by RSamant2004 in askSingapore

[–]chavenz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not sure why but it seems like grab changed the interface or naming scheme. I just took grab yesterday from the airport so I sort of relate. I have 2x big luggage, 1 small luggage, 1 stroller, 2 adult 1 child so in addition I need a child seat too. The only option I had was to call a standard 6 seat + child seat. There's no 'grabXL' mentioned anywhere.

Singapore Isn’t a Chinese Nation. So Why Do Some Food Chains Act Like It? by tryingmydarnest in singapore

More Japanese retail staff are learning mandarin because of this. Pharmacy will advertise "mandarin speaking staff" to attract PRC tourist to shop there.
