If they are on Employment Pass (basic $3k), there is no quota.

I understand from my contractor that there is no real wrought iron used in JB. Its just steel but better quality. It will still rust, esp the joints where there is welding. The welds are definitely not rust proof. Powder coating helps tremendously but its just a coating over the steel. If...

Yes, heard about this issue also from some agents and neighbours at Ave 7. Most inters are asking more than 500k but valuation is below that and state approval not given. I guess it might that a long while for the resale market to cross the 500k as the norm. Otherwise, maybe go for those that...

Hi Wuqi, How can we receive Digital TV in JB? Is there a place to get the set top box needed? Darn, i just installed my soon to be obsolete analogue antenna. :)

Bro, agree, once we are gone, actually nothing matters for us. But just trying to do the best regardless if sudden demise happens and kids are left quite helpless and exwife remarries and the kids may have less financial protection with the new family. Yes, I know, I think too much on a Sunday...

Totally agree. Even 21 is too young. Considering a clause that the estate pay for their education and will only give them full funds only upon 30. Not sure if 30 is too old. Comments?

Bro, great points. Kids are still young. Its the first will for family. So the will likely will evolve over time. But just want to build a simple framework to work on. Thks

Agreed. Trusts are great for those with lots of moolah and assets. But for a typical family, a real trust cost quite abit to setup and maintain. However, since my kids are young, the inheritance will still be in a trust, likely controlled by the mother.

Good point bro. My kids are still quite young. Wife is in her thirties. Hence my considerations. Cheers

Just a qutestion for the folks here. Usual intestacy law in Singapore is 50% to wife and 50% to children. However, a will can alter this. Wondering if it is really necessary to give so much to wife (presuming she will remarry at some point) or would it make more sense to give most to the...

The law has been revised recently to give more bite. It all depends if the ex-wife wants to enforce. She can get a court order to get the banks in Spore to transfer the money to her without ex-hubby authorisation. Similar to IRAS. If you owe taxes, IRAS can issue all local banks an enforcement...

Thks! Just what i am looking for! Catch n release with hopefully lots of big fishes. Woohoo! We go n try it out.

Re: Cecilia Sue is depressed If NBG is truly acquitted, then he should rightly be reinstated in his job and position no? So he would be back in SPF in a new role?

Roger that. Turn on should be tmrow then if the grid has been energised. So u hv locked the meter box already? I heard that if the main fuse might get 'borrowed' if not locked. Any truth?

Hi tutucake, So u mean u got electricity already? Last week Setia told me Coral still hvnt get electricity as TNB has not energise the grid at Coral. Thks for the update! Hopefully see u there one day. :)
