Don’t know when we read that a Middle East Country towed a big iceberg from the South Pole for their drinking water, we laughed at them. Then we found out they also have many desalination plants also burning fuel oil to evaporate sea water into steams to generate fresh water. Then the oil was...

Re: Tan chuan-jin: We don't know how many ex-prs withdrew their cpf and kept their fl Was asked to be removed? ha ha ha

A bit tak patut.. in 2007, CPF invested about $111 bln in Government Security and in 2012, this figure rose to $230 bln and it earned $8.5bln returns in 2012 from it..

Should they come up with Article 153.. but that was taken..so, we have now Singaporean First Party.. don pray pray

To me, it is an insulting term if it is used.. it means you are not able to stand by your own and need extra protections to survive..Like the Chinks you used; that was the term used on Chinese by the Westerners in those days to look down on them...and it is not a very nice term..

yes.. but the 4 figure monthly payment

Hi, 4% is only for the minimum sum and the medishield amount in CPF.. beyond $200K, the interest is only 2.5%. fortunately, this is the minimum rate specified under the law; otherwise, we may not be so lucky. When you convert your 150K to monthly payment.. you could only get about...

Ask him to prove it to you with his CPF statement or you can go to the CPF website, there is a calculator there for one to work out how much one can get per month if you choose the CPF life scheme. He may be the lucky one that can withdraw his CPF one whole lump sum of $ 600K.. now many cannot...

He knows that he will have to thread correctly as his rating in the eyes of Singaporean is getting down to almost nothing if there is a poll about his popularity here in Singapore. Almost 80% of Singaporeans have CPF savings and they are seeing their saving dwindling down to almost the cost of...

This guy also said using bed cooler has "cure" his sinus problem as the text described.. however, there are many reasons causing sinus. If it is originated from cold when one sleep inside an ac room, good to try this bed cooler if they still wanted the cooling to put one to bed. There are...
