I think it's a good move. I hope MBT loses for causing so much unhappiness among ppl due to the unrealistic prices of public housing.

Yes, I also believe. The gov. is so noble, it should raise the flat prices by another $300K each to reduce the deficit.

That's exactly the point. So u believe HDB lost money?

I also believe 100% HDB lost money. My house nearby coffeshop also deficit $2 million every year. They sell heavily subsidised kopi at only 70 cts where the kopi market price at Starbak & Kopibean is $4.

So now Starhub CEO have to resign now & reduce their subscription price?

Your ideas are good but this will still be unfair to the current owners. Current owners will still have a hard time paying off their huge outstanding loans which many are stretching to 30 yrs. max.while the new owners will have an easier time servicing their smaller loans. If your...

I think it is not so easy to just change the rules now. I believe the gov. already knows the problem (although their press releases & HDB's replies seems to be in constant denial mode) but because of this dilemma, they can't as thousands will be affected & these will translate to unhappy votes.

GMS, What about those who already bought at the current high prices? If the gov. change the rules now & reduce the prices of new flats, the current owners will suddenly see a drop in their flats' value. Many ppl will not be happy. Those who want to sell & upgrade will end up paying more...

I dun understand this part: "Chong, who was 21 then, had been teaching two girls, aged 13 and 14, to play the drums. During the lesson, he placed his penis in their left hand, which he had earlier told them to put behind their back." He got 2 penis; one for each girl or they take turns. &...

Yes, post all your info here for all to see so we can make a better judgment. I hope it is something different from the usual MLM stuff most ppl are already sick of.

I feel sick reading the same standard reply from HDB saying the the flats are heavily subsidised, affordable, below int'l benchmark, blah, blah, blah when countless ppl have written in to complain on the high prices in the forums; & this is only a handful of letters that are published. There may...

Recently I went on a business trip & my flight was delayed for 10 hrs on the way back. My company tried to claim insurance but the stupid insurance company (AIA) refused to pay. Reason after their investigation: It was not due to technical fault but pilot was sick. Makes no sense to me.

The grief of losing someone so close & dear is too much for some people to bear, especially their own children who are still young so they chose to end their lives. At least they do not have to live is sadness everyday. RIP.

Saw the Wrestler. Marissa Tomei did not get nailed fm behind by Mickey Rouke, it was another unknown actress I think. But u get to see Marissa naked. Overall, nice movie. Another recent good movie to watch is Taken; starring Liam Neeson. Great fast paced action.

of course if we compare against 1st world, we are still behind but we are still better than a lot of places. Just trying to say be grateful with what we have. :) Of course as human being, we must always strive for improvement. ;)

S'pore is no world class but try living in some other countries. I just came back from a working trip in Turkmenistan & I can say that the country is behind time by at least 20 years. Bars & restaurants are closed by night in where the city I work in. Not much nightlife at all. The houses...

Parklane Delihouse one too sweet; not nice. Kok Kee one better, but always long queue. Try the 1.90 & Joo Chiat one in Whampoa market, not bad.

Very interesting, thought of sharing with you folks... Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The...
