  1. me too...... my husband hate to find car park lot alot.. CTE, BKW, ECP, KPE SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has decided to extend the coverage of Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) at various locations to improve traffic flow. A slew of changes affecting motorists using the Central Expressway (CTE), Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) and East Coast Parkway (ECP) were disclosed after a visit to the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) tunnel by Transport Minister Raymond Lim on Thursday. From 1 November, ERP operational hours of south-bound CTE will be extended by 4 hours on weekdays – from 7am to 11am – at the section between Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 and Braddell Road. A new gantry with evening ERP on the north-bound CTE will also be installed just before the PIE exit. Motorists will be charged from 5.30pm till 10.30pm on weekdays. Evening ERP is also moving to the east-bound ECP – from the city towards Changi Airport – with a new gantry just before the Rochor Road exit and another at the Ophir Road slip road. ERP charges will be implemented between 6pm and 8pm during weekdays. There will also be a new gantry, with operating hours from 7.30am to 9am just after the Dairy Farm Road exit, before BKE joins Pan Island Expressway (PIE). Explaining the changes, the Transport Minister said if road usage is not priced, roads will be over-used, resulting in widespread congestion. While there is no silver bullet solution, Mr Lim said ERP is the only one that directly deals with the congestion problem. He said: "We sometimes hear criticisms of the ERP system. Some have observed that introducing or raising ERP charges relieve congestion temporarily, but after a while, the congestion comes back. "Others, especially those using the CTE, have complained that the ERP is unfair. They say that depending on where you join the expressway, some motorists add to the congestion without paying for it. This is feedback that we value. It shows that ERP coverage may need to be more extensive or pricing (has to be) fine-tuned." Besides trying to come up with a more holistic way of dealing with congestion, LTA will also see if optimal speed ranges, which currently should not fall below 45 kph for expressways and 20 kph for other roads, need to be changed. LTA is also installing ERP gantries at Upper Bukit Timah Road between Hume Avenue and Old Jurong Road, Toa Payoh Lorong 6, Upper Boon Keng Road, Kallang Bahru Road and Geylang Bahru Road, but will only start charging if traffic conditions worsen. - CNA/so
  2. me.. will be house 1st then car..... house might/will earn. Car.. I never heard.. can earn $$$
  3. I brought a 5 rm resale in bedok before the condo his mother stay bedok My parent stay AMK. so.. that time is.. near ur house or near my house..
  4. For my understanding. Foreigners cannot buy landed.. so far can let foreigner buy is that sentosa baywater project
  5. sound like my husband... die die must get Bedok area.. That time, consider AMK or Bedok.. he die die must Bedok. Keep on say.. 1. Bedok good, got alot of Bus. AMK don't have arr 2. Bedok got swimming pool, Big deal. AMK got 2. Further more, I can't swim. Got 100 swimming pool also meaningless to me.. 3. Bedok near to East side. Near to east coast. So.. I'm not seaside ah siao.. etc etc.. In the end, he run out of idea. Just say.. AMK resale flat expensive than Bedok.. Say so leh..
  6. hmmm.. like that... already converted to singaporean ??? who know...
  7. change another agent... ask him.. want ur car , ur maid or not.. the buyer thought he is buying show flat arr.. don't mind i ask, the buyer is from which country one.. b'coz I also overheard a buyer(FT) told a agent, they want this display, that TV console, this and that.. that vase, that flower, etc etc...
  8. hahaha.. cannot be.. if 3 room flat 180000 * 1% = 1800. Does it mean government need to pay us 5400-1800 = $3600
  9. eg.. SP $800 000. Stamp fee is (SP * 3% ) -5400 = $18600 what I mean is.. buying flat regarding Pte, landed, HDB flat, resale or direct from HDB. If u are buying, u r subjected to this stamp fee.
  10. no leh.. I pay thru' CPF, didn't come out cash then reimburse
  11. why can deducted???? b'coz cheng hu say so.. (that's what my husband reply when I ask him the above question few yr back) any sale.. regardless direct or resale. Buyer need to pay. Even u buy HDB direct from HDB, also need to pay
  12. should be.. if u don't like the $5400, u can transfer to my account.. I don't mind taking that
  13. Stamp fees are payable (by the buyer) on the sale and purchase agreement and the mortgage. A simple way of calculating the stamp fees on a sale and purchase agreement is to multiply the purchase price by 3% and deduct $5,400.00 from the result.
  14. i saw a shop just opp Great world City display this. Can't remember what is the shop name.. but is along the bus stop Bus #5 that leading to Bedok direction. I think the road name is start with Z.. sth..
