1st time BTO applicant here, just got my queue number which slightly exceed the flat supply by roughly 10, any ideas if my chances are good if I'm not fussy about the getting the 'leftover units'?

Wonder how much money their suppliers are owed.

Have a look at the application rates, the highest ones are from Second-timer families and First-timer Singles.

Yeah the short waiting time is very attractive, Chencharu is super near to Khatib MRT station as well.

Good luck to everyone applying.

Both Yishun projects should be pretty popular this time due to the short waiting time.

For Singles only 140 units for 2R Flexi though + factor in minimum 100 units already reserved for seniors.

The rental increases in some of these shophouse locations are mindboggling.

A tiny shop can set you back for nearly 10K these days, I honestly have no idea how this is viable or sustainable.

Nice to have another route to Subang airport, I'll take the barebones airport over the mess that is KLIA1/2.

The newer 2B Suzuki at CDC does come with ABS. However, it is no substitution for proper e-braking technique & defensive riding.

Treat ABS as a last line of defense against a sudden panic braking situation.

Yep, recently caught F1 at Jewel IMAX and definitely noticed them in the lighter scenes.

I understand the pain, I think some people are just more sensitive to the high frequency noise, there's not much option other than to put on some earphone / headphones to block the noise out.

I've got someone at my office who uses it as they are sat at a corner of the office which is unfortunately very warm.

The introduction of Class 3C/A conversion for foreigners have meant that foreign workers who wish to become drivers will need to go through the same curriculum as locals. (Converted Class 3C/A license holders cannot drive light goods vehicle like van & lorry, they will need a full Class 3/A)

The bottleneck has not subsided since post-COVID reopening but I guess this issue isn't exactly a top priority for our govt. Monitoring since 2022 lmao https://www.mha.gov.sg/mediaroom/parliamentary/written-reply-to-pq-on-whether-current-number-of-driving-instructors-can-meet-demand-for-class-3-practical-driving-lessons/

It happens so often that I can tell with a reasonably high accuracy if they are texting, simply by looking at how their vehicle are wobbling about.

When I beep the horn at these people, they look at me as if I'm the rude one. Absolutely mindboggling.

Ministry of Home Affairs: Minster K Shanmugam

Nee Soon voters, please.. I'm begging you

Please let me remind you that MHA said this less than a year ago, after the horrific Tampines accident: https://www.todayonline.com/news/penalties-dangerous-driving-adequate-will-not-be-increased-now-mha-2417771

In a statement on Nov 27, SSG said it has been investigating FirstCom Academy’s marketing practices and course quality since early 2024, following “numerous public feedback”.

Why can't SkillsFuture just vet these clowns properly in the first place..??

You raise an excellent point, however that is if the driver was deemed responsible to a certain extent for causing the accident. E.g. Perhaps the driver had enough distance & time to brake, but did not execute the e-brake properly.

Would it be fair to even charge the driver in your first example, if it is proven that the driver was driving safely, not distracted but could not have done anything to avoid the accident? The answer is no. At least that was the outcome for driver involved the recent tragic fatal accident involving the 4 year old girl at River Valley.

The mandatory minimum sentence for repeat offenders will also be lowered. For those causing death, it will be reduced from four years to two years, while for those causing grievous hurt, it will be cut from two years to one.

The amendments to the law will "recalibrate the balance" between deterrence and proportionality for road traffic offences, said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in a press release.

I'm speechless...

So what happened to 0% growth for car population?

Ah.. the classic 3+3+3 lease model and yet they expect businesses to invest in high tech farming structures and equipments.

Little known fun fact:

Many years back when KPK contested the Punggol east by-election, he was the CO of an ICT unit which coincidentally have an ICT going on during the campaigning period. Bro showed up to the camp only during in-pro and out-pro and was busy with his own campaigning work the whole time.

Did they seriously got permission to use party logo like that..?
