    Had similar problem in my precinct but had no contractor contact to offer. Every unit has a huge water tank installed above the ceiling of 2nd floor or 2st floor as the British call it. It serves the function that water supply is not interrupted when external supply has problem. However, water...

    correction of typo, should be when I found out water taps were almost half price as compared to sg, I bought to replace old taps in sg. But after 2 years of usage, I switch back to more expensive pub approved taps. johor taps are lighter in weight and lack in quality.

    bought nippon paint 2 weeks ago at a shop along bestari, near bestmart and on the same side of the street.. It gave 20% discount for 5-liter can. I may be wrong, I heard nippon paint has factory in malaysia, so it could not be more expensive than sg, likely to be cheaper.

    would share my experience and see if it helps. My water basin is covered with tiles. I hit and crack coconuts usually at the same spot on the edge of the basin and so one day the tile at the spot became loose. Pried and picked up the loose tile to check the cementing work. It was quite well done...

    I would say check a house especially during rain to see any wet sign on the ceiling. Wait a day or even half and the wet sign may disappear if it turns sunny after raining and the rooms are warm. I stayed in my new house 3 to 4 days a week during the monsoon season to observe any defect related...

    mine a terrace unit with pre-installed layer. Heavy rain and strong wind could force water to seep thru tiles, but the layer discharged water to the outer wall, not inner wall. No antenna installation is allowed as the precinct shares common antenna. There are two chimneies on the roof. One had...

    Re: Almost Robbed in JB Martial art experts know there is always uncertainty in a fight, hence avoid fighting unless you are cornered. However, when the robber ordered the couple to get into the car, the risk became higher, you won't know whether he just want to rob on the spot and then...

    well. it's about money well spent. it is more than ti gun. toto or small time gambling. one can see saving immediately, compare prices and feel sioh. the siohness is often sufficiently to overcome fear, as it is a human desire known as excitement. A few items are beyond reach in sg yet is...
