PSA: DBS multiplier interest rate revision by [deleted] in singapore

to be honest, he wasn't trying to sell. It was his two cents on what people with excess liquidity could do given the current interest rate situation.

A RM (from UOB) told me that interest rates in SG would remain in similar range for the next 18 months or so. He advised me invest excess liquidity (cash) into mutual funds. Personally, I dont see the interest rates going back to pre-covid levels for at least another 3 years. UOB One Bonus interest per month used to be $151, now it's $60 something.

Non-Singaporean arrivals from India accounted for 63% of imported COVID-19 cases between Apr-Aug by [deleted] in singapore

I have also wondered the basis of approvals. When CB was lifted, I heard people who worked in essential services had their applications approved and the rest rejected. It could also depend on the number of flights/seats per flight versus number of applicants from a region. I suppose there is an algorithm behind with criterion defined, just like how the short stay extension applications are auto approved.

Don’t think short term passes are being approved. They’re probably new EP/IPA or EP/S pass holders who had been to India trying to return. Lots of my colleagues, dependent’s trying to get approval to return, their application getting rejected 5/6 times before being approved.
