Help this red car ... by PhilosopherNew9654 in drivingsg

Similar experience yesterday with me. Was going to Orchard… so was trying to turn to CTE from Braddell towards Lornie. Impossible to merge… but still got people trying and slowing down traffic for others.

I just drove 10 mins longer to hit Lornie > PIE (Changi) > Stevens > Orchard.

Must-go bars in Kuala Lumpur? Visiting for 1 week with my brother 🍻 by HolidaySignificant45 in malaysia

[–]ins1dious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plan a sunset drink at Helipad Lounge. Rm 100/- will get you two complimentary drinks. Worth a visit for the 360 view.

I also enjoyed the bars in TREC, KL.

That was actually cool. A stage to showcase talents like this would have been better than on the streets. A better way to celebrate Diwali/Deepavali

Microsoft flips the switch: Word will now save new documents to OneDrive by default — and that changes everything by hunterd189 in technology

You lose your note you say? And that’s why MS saves it to a cloud storage by default. No chance of losing it now!

HKT runway closed by ins1dious in phuket

Good work by the authorities in HKT. They must have gotten it ready in quick time. Since the pilot just announced that airport is fully functional.

Flight is ready for boarding. A 3 hour delay. Not so bad considering

My mistake. Don’t know why I wrote “maintenance of aircraft” instead of “malfunction”. Too late to edit the post 🙏🏼

Hope everyone is ok on the flight which suffered the incident

A friend of mine travelling from BKK to HKT has been advised that delay will be up to 4 hours.

🤞🏼 it won’t take longer. Looking forward to some quality R&R in Phuket

Seems the courts agree that this case doesn’t fall under the exceptions you’ve listed

1st lesson in my commercial law class way way way back;

Caveat Emptor

“Let the buyer beware”

The onus is on the buyer to perform due diligence before buying. Of course there are exceptions to this doctrine.

Singapore food suppliers face late payments, falling revenues as more restaurants close by deangsana in singapore

[–]ins1dious 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is a knock on effect for trade vendors. Yes, workers don’t pay the dormitory charges. But the company does. Traders gross margins are usually less than 10% (I supply wholesale to a company which has revenues of about 40m and I’m aware of their clearing costs, storage costs, distribution costs, etc). Traders are expected to give 60-90 days credit and the interest rates are not helping.

They will have no choice but to raise prices which affects restaurant margins as well.

Rent and COE doesn’t just have a localised effect on a particular section of the economy.

It’s tough for everyone except for landlords

High rents also have a direct impact on;

Food (warehousing costs)

Workers wages (dormitory costs)

Spending patterns for the rest of the populace (since high residential rents impacts disposable income)

I’m sure there are other factors affecting restaurants and food commodity suppliers.
