actually china has a strange rule that any mainland chinese on long residential visa (not student or employment) like sg pr or mm2h, their children are entitled to enter top china universities at a much lower score. The only requirement is that the child should stay at least two years...

today read @ china news website. A 6 square meter (66 sqf) flat in Shen Zhen sells for 900k rmb, which is about 170k sgd. all 9 such flats were sold in one morning. china power totally crazy. those who invest should have invested in shen zhen a couple years ago. i wish i had but did not.

It is not advisable to sell own house and move to sg to live with married child. Parents cannot get along with son's wife. that is truth everywhere. Maybe it is ok to live with daughter. But with children coming, the place will get too cramped. If her husband is not a nice person or faces...

Malaysia is probably the only country in the world that is still willing to lend to foreigners. In other countries, like in NZ now, even if you have a fully paid up house, the bank will not lend to you. They only lend to nz citizens or pr Provided their income are from nz.

i have a friend that has a terrace house at Hh. Almost paid up the loan. She is nearly 50 years old. For years she has been renting out the house though she wants to live there and enjoy themselves. Soon her wish will come true as she has received a letter from the company informing those...
