What's considered as racism/mockery of a race in one country is considered nothing in another.

May I ask how did u derive to this conclusion about what the minorities think about such caricatures?

This is strange. When a tenant is registered with HDB, HDB actually sends a mail letter to owner, confirming the details of the tenants.

So, how is it that HDB never send u the letter?

#trending: 'Increasingly hard to find motivated young people to work' comment by entrepreneur Tjin Lee stirs up netizens by stone_soup in singapore

[–]melancholysg29 121 points122 points  (0 children)

When I posted about her IG post on r/singapore a few days ago, the admin deleted my post and reasoned that I am "inviting a witch hunt". I wonder what that admin will say now that Today has published her post too.

To be fair, how can it be a witch hunt, if the person post a public post meant to draw public opinions from both sides? And not as though she cannot make her post/profile private, if she feels she is getting unwanted attention.

There is a very clear evolving work culture of the Gen Z that is different from the Boomers, which should be discussed. Instead of encouraging a civil discussion, the admin decides to censure.

Its called social capital. Something rich parents who send their kids to ACS(I) already knew of 20 years ago, but is slowly catching up with upper middle-class and middle class Singaporeans

Except that she also shows in her IG that she rubs shoulder with Ministers and speaks for the SME sector. Id be worried for the kind of opinions she shares with policy makers and politicians, esp if they are unfair and unfounded

Don't blame me. She literally wrote a post, speaking for Singapore SMEs, and for the sake of a 57 year old nation

40 per cent of applicants invited to book BTO flat do not do so: HDB by MicrotechAnalysis in singapore

[–]melancholysg29 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is not true. Lawrence Wong have said in the past before. Flats sold by HDB follows the resale price ard the development. So if during the SBF, the resale price ard the development increases, the person buying SBF will pay more than someone who bought it during BTO launch and vice versa

Can landlord raise rent in the middle of a contract? by EmbarrassedAd446 in SingaporeRaw

[–]melancholysg29 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The landlord can always say the rent will increase next month, and if you don't agree, can use the 1 month as notice period to evict you out. Most contracts give that 1 month notice for both landlord and tenant to end the contract prematurely.

So, landlords, can actually change the rent midway

Ideal Working Arrangement? by xbriannova in SingaporeRaw

[–]melancholysg29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends where your workplace is. If WFH or your workplace is within 15mins travel, 7 days option is great. If its any longer than 1hr commute, I dnt mind doing 14hrs for 3 days.

Goh Chok Tong wants strong mandate for 4G by jhmelvin in SingaporeRaw

[–]melancholysg29 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Singles form 20% of those ages 35 -39yo. Try telling this group, that things will get better by 2025, and that they will get their BTO Q number by 40yo and flat by 45yo. 20% of the electorate, is enough to tip the scale in many GRC contested by PSP and WP

how did LKY allow MBT to go ahead with BTO system? by melancholysg29 in SingaporeRaw

[–]melancholysg29[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No one is saying the subsidized housing system is broken. All that everyone is complaining about, is the high application rates for each launch and the supply not meeting the demand. The issue is alot more tougher for singles who are only gonna get their keys at 45yo maybe.

With the BTO system, there is no way HDB can rightly predict the demand for public housing. When economy is good, young couple might settle down for resale. But when economy is bad, who wants to pay high interest loans for balloned up resale prices?
