But Mr Chris Koh, Dennis Wee Group’s vice-president, said there is a
threshold as to how far prices can go down. Noting that some private
projects are advertised from as low as $450,000, anything beyond that
would "go against all fundamentals", as that would match prices of
five-room HDB flats and executive condominiums.
PS: We have already received overwhelming responses from the Insurance Companies and Independent Financial Advisors and will not be able to take on further bookings from these sectors. We seek your understanding in this regards.maybe those companies are looking to sell some policies.
A 64-YEAR-OLD Japanese man was found dead in his hotel room at the
five-star Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore by hotel staff yesterday
morning. The man was found with a stab wound in his chest.
blah...blah
The police have classified the case as unnatural death, and a spokesman
said: "Preliminary investigations indicate that foul play was unlikely.
Police investigations are ongoing."

Clarifying comments he made on Sunday that whistleblowers were already protected under the Witness Protection Act, Nazri said the fact was that the bill was still in the process of being drafted. “What I meant was that there are already other mechanisms in place which provide for police protection,” he said. Such a mechanism, he added, could also apply in the lawyer video clip case where the source could seek police protection to come out in the open. i'll take back what i said yesterday.... definitely more advance form of logic... he promised something that didn't exist...
Cabinet Minister Nazri Aziz said a probe into the clip would come to
nothing if the whistleblower does not come forward to verify its
authenticity, and assured that he would receive full witness-protection
measures.
"He will not only be protected but can also undergo surgery to change his
look," The Star reported Mr Nazri as saying.
Mr Nazri said that if the witness failed to come forward, "we can conclude
that he is lying".

Members of Parliament welcomed the changes, but asked for more public
education measures. Agreeing that the changes were complex, Dr Ng said
simple cartoons would be used to convey messages and more roadshows would
be organised. He will also deliver a ministerial statement in Parliament
on Sept 17.
simple cartoons = public education...
do we need the 4th university? maybe a artschool that specialises in cartoons!

hmm... this is kinda strange... shouldn't we be investigating why we are UNABLE to provide for our golden years... instead of trying to extend my working years?
root issue... why after working for 55 years, we are unable to retire?
Citing figures, the National Trades Union Congress Secretary General Lim Boon Heng said a high proportion of older workers have dropped out of the job market.
That is why a tripartite committee comprising NTUC, the government and employers is studying how to help older Singaporeans find work and stay on working.
Mr Lim said: "NTUC has long recognised this and therefore pushed for raising the effective retirement age. It is important to focus on the effective retirement age and not on the legislated retirement age. Currently our official retirement age is 62 but many drop out from the age of 55 years."[Category-Sillypore]

For the first time in the history of the National Day Parade, only four 25-pounder guns will be used in the Presidential Gun Salute compared to the traditional half a dozen guns.
The Presidential Gun Salute has been a mainstay of the National Day Parade: 21 shots fired within 3 minutes as a mark of respect to the President when he inspects the contingents in the stadium.
