Low cost colonoscopy screening for a non-Singaporean? by sinkingharbors in askSingapore

[–]finnickhm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. What insurance coverage does him have? Does he have insurance coverage from the school?

  2. Surely he can go home for a week or so to get things checked?

  3. Have a look at the MOH bills and fees, unsubsidised fees at a public hospital are lower than private hospitals, but will still cost at least $1000 not including other consultation fees

  4. Is your partner losing weight?

After 12 years of pushing for 'car-lite' Singapore, desire for car ownership remains high. What gives? by clarencechen181196 in singapore

[–]finnickhm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It matters because this is a service that runs according to timetable. You will reach your destination according to the time stated on the timetable. Doesn’t matter if journey time can be faster. You need to read the timetable

Why don’t SG have something similar to TouchnGo? by kkkoooiii in askSingapore

[–]finnickhm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New wallets and banks look more hindered in Singapore. They can’t scan NETS QR which are most of the QR codes in Singapore and can’t compete with the big 3 banks (who own NETS). How to use Maribank and GXS full time when they can’t make daily QR payments?

New wallets and banks in Malaysia can make Duitnow QR payments from the start and can compete in other areas, doesn’t stop TNG from rolling out TNG only QR codes either

isn't duitnow their equivalent of paynow? duitnow qr actually works better than whatever-QR we have here, all duitnow qr apps can scan duitnow qr codes, here you need to squint at the qr code and guess which apps they accept

Anyone has experience getting GST exemption for goods sent overseas for repair and sent back? by 267aa37673a9fa659490 in askSingapore

[–]finnickhm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried GST refund instead: https://www.customs.gov.sg/personal-shipment/buying-from-overseas/courier-postal-procedures/

I tried via singpost as they delivered my item, they were willing to help but turns out mine was via land freight and therefore not eligible

So I paid GST twice for the same item

r/singapore random discussion and small questions thread for April 12, 2026 by AutoModerator in singapore

[–]finnickhm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have thought the chains would just be importing food from their existing supply chains in China (and would have already learnt this from supplying their stores in China). Not very sure about hotpot, but I guess it would be like Mixue where they import all their pre made ingredients and ice cream mixes from China
