My interpretation is that the poly lecturer was acting like a father figure advising that people should marry their own race. Being sixty, he might not be as fluent in his speech as the Gen Y or millennials?; June 29, 2021 9:16 AM

It appears that the "suppliers" of the national housing market could not produce the availability needs to its citizens. People are now compelled to turn to million-dollar resale homes not only for space(older homes) but also shorter leases.

It is important to remember that your credibility is partly how you model the housing market amongst people who depended on it.; June 29, 2021 1:27 PM

He spoke with a little foreign accent but in fluent mandarin. His skin is a little dark.

Curious the cashier asked if he is Chinese. As soon as I heard it, oh no here we go racist again.

He did not take offence. He replied he is Malaysian, Chinese mother, Malay father.; June 30, 2021 1:26 PM

When we pray for others, we pray for entire human beings, you and me. (Louise Hay)

I GO THROUGH EACH DAY WITH PEACE AND EASE.

I LIVE IN ALL ABUNDANCE.

I LIVE IN ABUNDANCE OF TIME, PEACE, JOY, AND HARMONY.

I'M LEARNING TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH MYSELF AND OTHERS SO DOES EVERYONE, THEREFORE I CHOOSE TO BE PATIENT WITH MYSELF AND PEOPLE.

I CHOOSE TO ACT IN EMPATHY, COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING.

I PRAY FOR EVERYONE'S PEACE AND HAPPINESS.; June 30, 2021 2:16 PM

UOB. If 38 buyers only 10 default then can safely say no conspiracy poor internal checks.

I am thinking of selling my HDB and was looking for 99years private. I saw something that was within my budget, but as it is a big decision, I decided to sit on it for a few days. I talked to a friend who is in the property line. Luckily I found out that the advertisement on the TOP year is not where the 99 year starts. It starts from the year the land was purchase. If what I thought was 70 years left but now having to minus out 4 years of construction, which leaves it to be 66 years. I have now decided not to buy 99-year properties. HDB 99-year lease starts on the day you take the keys. Things can be deceiving. I think the government should make sellers put on their advertisement the remaining lease not the year of TOP. If I had bought it thinking the remaining lease was 70 years, I would have felt cheated. As the rules are so confusing here, not everyone can know or follow every one of them.; June 30, 2021 4:04 PM
