That smrt maps looks confusing  rclxub.gif  but
If it's above ground, i wonder if there are still spaces for house and buildings.
If it's underground, I wonder will it withstand tsunami.  sweat.gif
Looks scary to me.

Looking at the MRT master plan....

Sometimes I think, if SG size is doubled, from 700km2 to 1,400km2, SG will be a 2nd Switzerland, or surpass Switzerland and perhaps GDP may worth more than Switzerland.

Unfortunately, SG has not enough land to develop, no land for exploitation, somehow or rather, SG will eventually lose its competitiveness.

No matter how SG utilise its space to transform wonders or even build the world largest underground office/theme-park/research centre/casino/MRT underground over another MRT underground/ u named it... all its developments will still be limited to its 700km2. Kesian...

I really hope Indonesia can sell a few inhabited islands to the SG government so that SG can reclaim more land for development to stay competitiveness.... but too bad, this not gonna happen I think...

HK at least still got dozens of mountains that can be used to reclaim land in the future without even depend on China to sell land to them, compare to SG which is a flat-flat island, a single Bukit Timah cant help much tho....

SG is like foreveralone country being sandwiched/squeezed between 2 Muslim countries and I wonder why so many Malaysian Chinese out there still like to bash SG especially in /K/ despite they themselves living in a Muslim country got bullied/sidelined by our current gomen.

That's true. Apple's cornered the market for one-armed amputees.

Anyway, it depends on how big your hands are, no? And how you hold the phone?

I think I gonna get the Nexus Prime better than this iphone 4S.

Now smartphones barely can last for more than 6 mths. Just compare the SGS2 that just been announced in June 2011, then next week the Nexus Prime will be announced and will replaced the SGS2.

assuming you're not the type who must have the latest and greatest ... should change iphones at the "number increase" and not the "S" lol ... like I went from 3G straight to 4 since 3G-S not that much difference. Now I think I will also skip the 4S and go straight to 5 (or maybe jump ship to android lol)

But i thing i cant deny is Android still lags compare to iOS...

In terms of lagness, SGS2 still lags sometimes compare to iPhone 4 despite SGS2 specs are more superior.

This is my exp since i own SGS2 and my gf owns the iphone4.

Hi guys, can anyone help me pls?

anyone here interested to retired in SG?

I was like shock when my fren tat day told me he is willing to take up Singapore citizenship... LoL

He told me what for wanna retire in Malaysia if the country is so unsafe nowadays? He told me yes, when all your savings are converted to RM, you will retire comfortably in Malaysia... but what for? You can even be damn kao rich if you retire in Indonesia, Vietnam, China or India after 55 yrs but these countries are unsafe!!!

He told me, yes... you can buy a BMW or even a lambo when you work in SG and retire in MY but you will never ever be able to drive safe and sound just like in SG. Once you being injured, lost your love ones etc, that is.. your retirement plan changed... all these years, your retirement plan will gone.

After hearing his thoughts, now only I understand... the most important is still SAFE... I dun mind buying a lambo here despite having no highways for me to speed 300km/h but at least I dont need to worry about highways robbers.

Having said that, SG still have good education, medical facilities (even better than Malaysia), good infrastructures etc... so why worry about retiring in SG when MY is so damn kao unsafe and corrupted???

and also they favour the Malays than the chinese in MY....

Damn, today i know that EY is paying you back the CPF if you are not a PR.

Meaning if your basic is $5K, EY will pay additional $900 to you as CPF loss. So, total moeny receive is $5.9K...

Employer contribution is less than the employee contribution. 16% for employer vs 20% for employee, IIAM.

Not necessary, there is a capping.
Employee is $900 whereas employer i forgotten how much edy.

I got a fren (SPR), last time bought a HDB with his sister for about $250K (during tat period each of them contributed 50% monthly installment).

Now bcos her sister wanna get married edy, so my fren terpaksa to shift out. The problem is how to sought this problem?

Her sister pay him back $125K? But how bout current market rate? Take how long to pay him back? Her sister oso did not have so much money for at least $125K.

Any suggestions guys? Or the most fair method is sell the HDB and distribute the funds for 50% each? but the drawback is need to incur more funds and time to get another HDB or their own.
