Oo I went to Expo just now to check out the Courts sale. Since I've only been in SG a few weeks maybe I haven't got a proper "sense" of the strength of SGD, but a lot of things there seem damn cheap leh. $10 irons, $3xx 32" LCD TVs, $2k 47-inchers, etc etc.

Too bad I dun have apartment yet so couldn't really buy ...

gov is letting the sgd rise to prevent inflation... at this rate... there should be one more rise end of the year... msia is experiencing high inflation due to removal of subsidies... and worse of all, the rm is kept low...

you can always buy and fill up my apartment laugh.gif

This is why Singaporeans are getting richer and richer whereas Malaysians over here are getting poorer and poorer these days.

My idea of long term refers to maybe after age 55 go back Malaysia and renounce PR (take full CPF)

I was thinking if I were to get Singapore medishield, once you renounce PR the policy will be void.

Was thinking of getting of medishield first, then maybe later close to 45 start getting malaysia medical card and then hold both until 55 where I terminate the medishield. Just wondering when anyone got hold both at same time (overlapping), any difficulty in claiming both at same time?

Anyone here thinking of investing in a condo or apartment in SG?

I feel that if you have the free funds, ie $70K or $80K for downpayment, can try to invest in some properties in SG as the properties prices in SG appreciates faster than MY.

Having said that, if you are eligible in buying a HBD, then it would be better.

Yes. We can. Have a set of requirements to fulfil. Don't expect to see the cash until you reach at least 50 though.
Still better than Singaporeans though who are stuck waiting til 65 and may need to wait longer in the future.

HDB requirements too strict ler. Buy secondary market too expensive, buy primary market need to convert citizenship (or buy with a Singaporean). But then also the $8k combined income ceiling too easy to bust.

@precursor: get a Malaysian doctor to certify us as unsound mind ... then can withdraw before 50 XD

Also, i heard tat if one want to get a 3 room flat, might as well get 4 room as the price is somewhere near.. Well, tat is what i heard. Also, 2 room is kinda small right? 3 room as minimum will be the best i guess
