The plot beside IKEA that is undergoing piling now should be IKEA phase 2 shopping centre with food streets and another hypermart. From its current speed of construction, 2018 should be ready.

Just to answer PMs on the discount code at the Instarem website, I neither have the discount code nor applied it for my trial TT. I believe the saving will be more significant if you track the exchange rate more closely, and my benchmark is any TT rate that is more than 3.10 is an excellent...

My trial transfer using Instarem is successful. It took about 1 working day from DBS bank account to Instarem and another 2 working days from Instarem to my Malaysia bank account. The saving can be estimated using today's rates below, which is good for a day's meal (assuming SGD $2k TT) :)...

It is usually about 1 working day for processing for me using DBS. The money appears in MY bank in another working day. If you are using DBS online banking, there is no need to register.

Eateries should flourish. Retails like furniture shops may lose their customers.

The shoplots around IKEA will have to brace themselves when IKEA starts to draw their shoppers away in Nov/Dec 2017. The Aeon and Tesco malls beside this IKEA Tebrau might be affected slightly too. The same goes for the IKEA Tampines and Alexandra if IKEA Tebrau prices are around 30% cheaper...
