Haha, that's the $1690 question we are all trying to figure out here...

PAP's money where got so easy to get? First off they will never give out such a large amount and second even if they do, usually most of it will be in voucher, subsidies or CPF top-ups and not cash because they know there is a high risk cash might end up in someone else's cigarette or Toto...

Yar this is the part that struck me as off base...

Does anyone know what sort of financial assistance program gives so much hard cash for a low income family? The article says the $1,690 is only "part of" what she got from the scheme so I presume the actual amounts received is larger than that... I was always under the impression our social...

The general approach around such cases involving obsessions such as religions, MLMs or other beliefs such as health quacks and get rick quick schemes is to protect oneself first. This means making sure that you do not directly or indirectly fund such activities in the first place. One can keep a...

It's kind of amusing to see those Europeans going around to lecture everyone to stop burning fossil fuels and turn into green renewable energy. The moment things get a bit tough because of the Russia-Ukraine war they turn turtle and are now coming up with all sorts of mental and lingual...

To me the biggest disgust isn't about this obvious gaffe (everyone knows she meant Taiwan), but its reflection on how little these politicians even care about the subject matter they are espousing. Don't know and don't care is the attitude, cerebral total shut down relying solely on laryngeal...

It's quite telling that this person does not dare to reveal his CPF balance when bitching about the low payouts. I would imagine the number to be so embarrassingly low that it would dilute the effect of his self-pity and invite questions as to how he ended up with so little. This is nothing...

That's just a 4.5+G aircraft at best without even an internal weapons bay and worse still its at a first prototype stage. Even if everything goes smoothly (very unlikely due to Korea having no real experience and mature competency in advanced subsystems while Indonesia brings nothing to the...

Politics aside, it's really a bad idea for the RSAF to be buying F35. This aircraft is trouble from day one: significantly overbudget, under spec, all sorts of operational issues and worst of all the repair and maintenance is an endless money pit. This whole project is a high tech and...

Sometimes I really don't know what this Lim Tean is trying to do, how would supporting political theatrics conducted but an unknown UK MP help in his own political cause in any way? That random UK MP who wrote this letter is probably just going through motion to garner votes and money from UK...

This Chen Chunhua is a typical "corporatized" academic - there are plenty of such fraudsters around. The modus operandi for such borderline academics is to latch on to a hot company or business leader, then spin some fancy story and business model surrounding that company / leader to move into...

Looks more like a classic case of a so-so middle class PME living an overly high standard lifestyle of an upper middle one in the first place. I mean 2 adults, 2 kids & 1 toddler eat out for $120 per meal!? $14 daily parking at a sai swa place like Yio Chu Kang!? 60 litres fuel tank is most...

Malays are really willing to spend on their house - many of them seem to take up renovation loans and think nothing of splurging 80 - 100k to spruce up their apartment. But then not that many Chinese are any better, most of the PME types easily spend 15 - 20k to go on US / Europe trips at least...

It's not that their HDBs are bad (in fact I suspect many are condo dwellers), rather it's more of a lifestyle expression. I see it as a more expensive version of role playing a coffee connoisseur in Starbucks - it's not about the coffee which most people agree sux, but convincing yourself you...

Singaporeans are well-known prey for companies offering supposedly novel hospitality concepts. A good example would be NTUC's Downtown East hotels. Previously they were offering micro twenty footer container boxes as rooms with basic amenities and charging nearly $400 a night and yet...

There is no further information on this woman which makes it hard to make any further deductions. All I can say is if she's an expat or a wife of an expat, chances are she is covered under the company's international mobility insurance. It then is very likely that she either visited a private...

Wow a 24 year old marketing fresh graduate who bought a two Rolexes worth $27,000 and $62,500? Where did she get the money? :rolleyes: If she's a 2nd generation rich or has a sugar daddy, I cannot imagine she would buy this sort of thing from a stranger online just to save a few thousand...

Wok Hey is honestly one of the most over-priced garbage outlets I can find in Singapore shopping malls. They are charging 25% higher than similar fried rice stalls in food courts even though there is no seating provided. The portions are miserable with only 80% of the box filled and meat is...

Sure, even if we assume this hiding is 100% true, the Telegraph article did not even bother to address this issue. All it did was put up a fake news headline, then proceeded to report on a bunch of unrelated and even contradicting facts in the actual fine print. Telegraph has zero interest in...
