Imho, cost of living, even with inflation can be estimated by the income of locals. If majority of the locals cannot "survive", there will be "revolutions" either in the ballot box or unrest or worst case "blood" like in the past. If you can generate S$40K annual income, it will easily work...

I would think that the question whether it is “attractive” to move out of Sg and “live” in another country can be more easily answered for a not a so rich, but not working(retired?) folk, ala https://harveylawcorporation.com/millions-of-americans-retiring-abroad/.

I know what you meant. 见高就拜，见低就踩. When I was living in Sg condo, there were once a bunch of Ang Mohs who ganged up, proposed to reduced the size of MC to 7 or less. Their rationale was so as to facilitate faster decision making. Somehow, the few "local" condo residents who turned up for the...

Going by your definition of "productivity", I would generalise by simply grouping anything/activities one enjoys doing or not doing anything as being productive. If volunteering, giving tuition without payment consideration, visiting aged parents/relatives in addition to gathering with...

"spend your days productively(?) without having to work?" Oxymoron? Imho, when one has truly retired, he/she doesn't have to keep track of "productivity". Simply doing nothing, lazing around (not productive?, loss of purpose?), much like what 1 does taking leave when working, that's good life...

After looking at the headline and listening briefing to his opening speech, I did not go further. There may indeed be empty/abandoned houses. But For a population of 1.4 billion, there "are" 1 billion houses (empty or occupied)? That's a bit far fetched, especially with a negative population...

Received my advanced Cukai Harta notice for 2024. While the valuation of my property has climbed significantly, the tax rate has dropped. Surprisingly, the net result is that I will be paying less Cukai Harta next year compared with what I'm paying this year.

I am an SPR. I bought a property in JB in 2013 when JB property prices were fast rising. Transferred quite a sum to fund cash purchase at the then exchange rate of just S$=RM2.45. Although the exchange rate is much more favourable now, and property prices have softened, I do not consider it...

If you're into Nasi Lemak, there are 3 different versions?(similar, yet different tastes) to try, if you have not already savour them. @Mid-valley Southkey 1) Madam Kwan 2) Tokyo Secret 3) Oriental Kopi. They have other outlets at Aeon Tebrau City and Johor Jaya. Always packed, not just for...

Other restaurants/kopitiam/stalls of note: - https://www.facebook.com/Cathay1979/ Peking Duck @RM68 promotion if still on, only at Eco Palladium - https://www.facebook.com/brewhouse.ecopalladium?ref=pages_you_manage Brew House, a nice place to chill out, also at Eco Palladium

Imho, until there is political certainty after GE15, the situation is unlikely to improve.

With border reopening on 1 April (no joke), will JB comes alive again? Will this forum wakes up again?

Those of you who have stashed your hard earned money overseas, please read the attached very carefully. In a nut shell, when you repatriate your money back to Malaysia, it will be subject to tax; 3% from January 1st, and 24% from July next year. It's still unclear but money coming back will be...

1st, raise mm2h qualification criteria. Now proposing to tax income sourced from foreign countries.

Not sure about your case. For me, I use IC # which remains the same. No. Bil/invoice # varies year by year which is shown in the hardcopy notice.
