  1. Read this for Q1. http://www.straitstimes.com/STI/STIMEDIA/pdf/20100105/btoannexc.pdf you can loan up to 90% @2.6% interest rate. "Defer payment" mode applies to BTO = start monthly instalment upon completion = collect key. Can all be settled by CPF, provided yr cpf OA got enough money. Watch out for VL,minimum sum rules & various cpf rules. http://www.mom.gov.sg/newsroom/Pages/HighlightsDetails.aspx?listid=31 Just casted your GE vote for the 1st time?
  2. Past few days hot right? It's the BEGINNING of Summer, more "radiation heat" to come! Don't be surprised. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/89/24jieqi2010.jpg/
  3. For prediction to be accurate, always need some facts, phenomenon, trends, history, observation, logical analysis, understanding of the situation, etc etc. Too bad I'm not a practice lawyer, know none as to cooling day rules, however, as understand "petition" has no legal effects. Further understood that if a MP get sued and fined in court for =>more than $2,000, then has to say bye bye to parliament. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Benjamin_Jeyaretnam http://statutes.agc.gov.sg/non_version/cgi-bin/cgi_getdata.pl?actno=1999-REVED-CONST&doctitle=CONSTITUTION+OF+THE+REPUBLIC+OF+SINGAPORE%0A&date=latest&method=part&segid=931158660-001483 Read Article 45. JBJ understood singapore constitution well. Only if he were around, her head could possibly roll. Frankly speaking, a bit worry for CSM.
  4. From angle of justice & equality which applicable to all citizens (PRs ??), these "solid lines" ought to be drawn, whether the "1st timer" is young or old, poor or rich. This is where/how I look at it. The issue(poly/U) you raised relate to "affordability". "Pay slip" & IR8A form are the "yardsticks" for measuring earning power of those employed class. Many young ones esp u graduates kena the "ceiling" problems. They have to turn to resale or pte.
  5. Singapore has been praised for its efficiency and effectiveness but I see none at all between MND & Home Affairs with regards to HDB address issue. - HDB should hold some amount from sellers, until he produce proof that address has been updated on his( and all occupiers)ICs. The same applies to the buyers. This helps solve many unwanted unhappy events. - Details need to be ironed out, but sure not from me, as I'm paying personal income tax of $238/per month. Unless gov absorb or waive off this amount... - Any kind soul have any idea in mind?
  6. I mentioned earlier, MND has to draw "some solid lines" as to public housing policy. - Salary ceiling capping issue, should there be any capping to all citizens who are "1st timer"? Need to have a SOLID line for this.
  7. Let's see the 45-day episode happened 20 year ago will happen again or not. http://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/singaporescene/wp-low-calls-smooth-aljunied-handover-111816314.html
  8. In fact, SDA is the product of the said intention, however, under Chiam's leadership, it started to slip. In my impression: SDP like to hold illegal protects, don't understand why Dr. Ang & Tan joined Dr. Chee SDA & RP are young and "tiny", yet to subject to "wind & rain". SPP is a "last minute" product with humble leader. This leader kena being kicked here & there and facing successor problem. "last minute" daughter also joins the party. NSP since formed in 1987 with businessmen and women, joined SDA in 2001 and "stand alone" again in 2001. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Solidarity_Party Also face leadership problem and financial problem( SG Mr Goh need to sell flat to fund...http://theonlinecitizen.com/2010/04/nsps-goh-meng-seng-pledges-to-sell-flat-to-fund-election-bid/), thought sending a strong 24-candidate fleet in GE2011, all "capsized". Goh brothers are good friend to LTK. Ex-NUTC income CEO Tan Kin Lian aslo Goh's close friend. The scholarship couple keeps "jumping the boats" - intention? I guess WP has been busy with its own recuitment programme so not interested in the SDA. Could be a good sign, cos the opp parties have many "hidden agenda". Will take quite some time to unite, look like wp should take the lead and do proper filtering....
  9. One thing quite puzzle me is that ruling party has always sent the best candidates who has vast track record, but this time round, why the 27 yr old - "business consultant".? Should have put her in Aljunied. 27 yr old can fit the job as "consultant" meh? Due to work, I have personally dealt with many consultants, except those "financial consultants", all are quite old ones and with "substances" le. Ong is very much capable, sigh. Again, mistake?
  10. Without denying, disallow PRs to purchase public housing is quite a sensitive issue, ought to be handle with cares. Ex SM Goh has hinted some message to PRs, sometime back to withdraw or cancel PRs status to some who don't want to be "citizen". http://sg.yfittopostblog.com/2010/09/09/government-won%E2%80%99t-force-prs-to-take-up-citizenship/ Of course, not to chase PRs out of singapore if they decline to take up citizenship. But put option to these: No public housing, only "renting" of public housing or buying of pte property. This is quite a challenging task to implement for ruling party, as it will affect the price of public housing, and the "20%" will keep growing till one day singapore in "economic slum" and they say "bye bye". Co-driver then start slapping driver?
  11. Greatmen always take history as a mirror. Too many opp parties no good to opp parties themselves, too many different voices in parliament also no good to a nation. A bold suggestion to WP: Take in SPP and NSP as "one" with proper filtering, sure got some rocks and painful decisions....work towards the same goal: to serve the ppls.
  12. 留得青山在,不怕沒柴燒。卧薪尝胆。保重。 Angmoh saying: There is a will there is a way!
  13. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=40298&view=findpost&p=633303 "赤壁之战" finally over, afterall we are still one family, majulah singapuru. - "Rubber band" finally broke liao. - 潮州怒汉 become 潮州武松, has finally killed the "tiger". - Now got licience to be co-driver, we can see the "slapping" action liao.
  14. Other races can do the same, why not chinese? If facing "pressure" whether from beliefs, seniors or society, wise to avoid it, no hurry right?.
  15. When Sodium Chloride solution (NaCl)is exposed to air, due to evaporation, solution will get more concentrated and salt crystal observes. If solution is stored in ceramic or clay-liked container, diffusion process takes place (high dense to lower dense)and crstal salt formed outside the container, as seen in the picture below. http://www.fengshuiweb.co.uk/advice/saltwatercure.htm Sodium chloride(salt)solution is an "electrolyte" in human body. 1. Salt is most effective in stabilizing irregular heartbeats and, Contrary to the misconception that it causes high blood pressure, it is actually essential for the regulation of blood pressure - in conjunction with water. Naturally the proportions are critical. 2. Salt is vital to the extraction of excess acidity from the cells in the body, particularly the brain cells. 3. Salt is vital for balancing the sugar levels in the blood; a needed element in diabetics. 4. Salt is vital for the generation of hydroelectric energy in cells in the body. It is used for local power generation at the sites of energy need by the cells. 5. Salt is vital to the nerve cells' communication and information processing all the time that the brain cells work, from the moment of conception to death. 6. Salt is vital for absorption of food particles through the intestinal tract. 7. Salt is vital for the clearance of the lungs of mucus plugs and sticky phlegm, particularly in asthma and cystic fibrosis. 8. Salt is vital for clearing up catarrh and congestion of the sinuses. 9. Salt is a strong natural antihistamine. 10. Salt is essential for the prevention of muscle cramps. 11. Salt is vital to prevent excess saliva production to the point that it flows out of the mouth during sleep. Needing to constantly mop up excess saliva indicates salt shortage. 12. Salt is absolutely vital to making the structure of bones firm. Osteoporosis, in a major way, is a result of salt and water shortage in the body. 13. Salt is vital for sleep regulation. It is a natural hypnotic. 14. Salt is a vitally needed element in the treatment of diabetics. 15. Salt on the tongue will stop persistent dry coughs. 16. Salt is vital for the prevention of gout and gouty arthritis. 17. Salt is vital for maintaining sexuality and libido. 18. Salt is vital for preventing varicose veins and spider veins on the legs and thighs. 19. Salt is vital to the communication and information processing nerve cells the entire time that the brain cells work - from the moment of conception to death. 20. Salt is vital for reducing a double chin. When the body is short of salt, it means the body really is short of water. The salivary glands sense the salt shortage and are obliged to produce more saliva to lubricate the act of chewing and swallowing and also to supply the stomach with water that it needs for breaking down foods. Circulation to the salivary glands increases and the blood vessels become "leaky" in order to supply the glands with water to manufacture saliva. The "leakiness" spills beyond the area of the glands themselves, causing increased bulk under the skin of the chin, the cheeks and into the neck. 21. Sea salt contains about 80 mineral elements that the body needs. Some of these elements are needed in trace amounts. Unrefined sea salt is a better choice of salt than other types of salt on the market. Ordinary table salt that is bought in the super markets has been stripped of its companion elements and contains additive elements such as aluminum silicate to keep it powdery and porous. Aluminum is a very toxic element in our nervous system. It is implicated as one of the primary causes of Alzheimer's disease. 22. Twenty-seven percent of the body's salt is in the bones. Osteoporosis results when the body needs more salt and takes it from the body. Bones are twenty-two percent water. Is it not obvious what happens to the bones when we're deficient in salt or water or both. I know nothing as to the "cures" if salt is left "outside" human body, besides deterring and killing some soft-body worms.
  16. Nothing to gain, everything to lose. Keep it up. Come again in next 5 yr. Die must stand.
  17. Received news: Hougang & Aljunied wp win!
  18. Presently, as disclosed by MBT, one in 5 HDB resale buyer is PRs, = 20%! In principle, "public housing" scheme should apply only to "citizens". This is the "cut off line". This is a "loyalty" concern associates with it. They can BUY private property, at anytime. If PRs want to be eligible to buy "public housing", can always apply for citizenship. Approval of application of citizenship is another issue. This is a "principle" issue.
  19. As as NOW, Hougang recount Aljunied WP is leading
  20. We understand those issues brought up during rallies are complicated and there is no quick fix solution. Let's zoom in to "public housing" first. Do you think should PRs be not allowed to purchase "public housing", but only rental? What are the rationate that MND allowed such in the first place?. Your view please.
  21. Get this score card ready: I bet: 2 SMCs + 2 "rubber bands" + 1 "black horse" http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/217/ge20112.jpg
  22. At times I wonder, PRs should only be allowed to rent public housing, or purchase pte property. Until they're determined and become a citizen, then allowed to puchase public housing. We're now moving towards 1/3 "FT" policy = 3 citizens with 1 FT. Can anyone enlighten me this "FT" include what? 1. All sorts of employment holder = not PR status 2. PRs 3. Citizen who have converted from PR to citizen, or from "no status" to citizen.
  23. Most worst,lousiest,stupid analogy -Ah Lui's "Tall trees vs mushrooms". Don't he know that MUSHROOMs grow on DEAD trees?
  24. Best phrase is LTK's: "HERE I COME!" I like the spirit, he remembered what MM said in 2006. A reply with action takes 5 years! 明知山有虎,偏向虎山行!
