    LTA already charges S$20 for foreign cars entering Singapore. And this is on top of the toll charges. And Malaysian cars still keep on coming to Sg on weekends to help boost the Sg economy.

    Thanks to all the pioneers who shared the lobang on the CIMB free fund transfer. Just to confirm, the CIMB Sg and My account doesn't have to be the same account holder, right? Meaning if I want, I can perform a free fund transfer from my CIMB Sg account to my brother's CIMB My account? And...

    In Singapore, I was able to watch HD5 on my analogue TV thru the Starhub cable. So as long as it comes thru the cable, it should be fine. Not too sure about MioTV

    IMO, the best reception can be obtained using the antennas installed on the roof. All the Sg channels can be received except for the HD channels. If you want to watch digital TV channels of HD channels from Sg, you'll need to buy a TV with built-in digital TV tuner.

    Ginfreely is right; it's free fund transfer between different Singapore banks via iBanking. Today TT at Raffles JP at 2.501. Cash rate was 2.487 and Superlink in NB quoted 2.492 over the phone. I wish Raffles Arcade didn't close so early. It looks like CIMB could be a viable option for long...

    If you use Internet banking on CIMB Msia to transfer to another Msian bank, the transfer only cost RM0.10. The RM5 charge could be for standing instructions. I always use I-banking to transfer funds from Maybank to RHB or Alliance or Citibank; all Msian branches and the charge is only 10cents...

    I brought cash to them and they counted it. So conversion was based on Friday's rate. I had to provide my personal and company details, give them my IC and provide a reason for remitting so much money. The $10 fee was waived in my case because I exceeded RM50k. I stated that it was for home...

    I TT with them last Saturday, money supposed to be in my Msia account by tomorrow; service fee of S$10 if below RM50k amount. The interbank transfer fee in Msia was reduced from RM2 to RM0.10; huge drop.

    Hi Snowbird, looks like a easy and convenient way to transfer money across. What are the minimum amounts required to open the CIMB account in SG and MY? Only thing is CIMB has limited branches in Sg. But this may be an option to consider. Would you know if there are any charges to transfer...

    Renovation to your homes

    Is that all that you're asking the contractor to do? I suspect the quote is higher because it's a small job; but it's too expensive. I'm retiling my kitchen area and also extending the tiles on my porch, but it's part of a big project for my house. I asked my contractor to quite for labour and...

    Hi, just want to share a word of caution when dealing with Sky Creation. I engaged them to do ID drawings for my corner double-storey house in NI. And I can safely say that I'm far from being satisfied with their service. If anybody does decide to engage them, please ensure all the details are...

    Nusa Idaman Community

    If I may clarify, I believe the Idaman Residence is supposed to be an apmt with condo facilities, not a condo. Difference is usually condos will have more and better facilities, and probably better quality. Also, the maintenance fee of 28 cents Psf is quite high. My apmt in KL, the maintenance...

    Can't say for sure, but it sounds like P8 buyers bought to stay or rent out, although some did sell. Whilst P7 buyers are mostly investors. Maybe P7 was cheaper than P8B, which is why they chose to flip P7; lower entry cost. If you had asked back in Nov 2012 when 8A owners just got their keys...
