In Spore the green grass is more costly:eek: I have relatives in Melbourne & they own their homes: a car or two, includes parking & a swimming pool. In Spore I can only afford a condo & like all HDB dwellers I have to pay a monthly conservancy fee. Took a look at Thailand where condos are...

I'm one of those affected by the changes in withdrawal age. I'm not surprise by the changes because I have been reading about all the losses made my Temasek. I don't really need the $$$ from my CPF. My benefices will be the ones to enjoy my CPF & my $$$ from my estate when I up the lorry. The...

The more important question people should be asking is whether they are an investor or punter looking for quick returns? If you expect to make $ & get your hands on it. You will be wasting $ on bank fees. People like Buffet are investors. He buys equities with a long term time horizon. If...

I know there are all types of diets out there. I haven't looked into many of these diets in detail. I'm more interested in the recipes that reduce carb & sugar. These are problem areas for me. I eat fish, chicken, eggs in moderate amounts. So I'm not too worried of excessive fats. I suspect...

I wonder if they will sing the same tune after they are kicked out of office? When they are in the private sector they will face competition from these foreigners.

Court cases are not initiated overnight. It takes time for it to go through the system. People knew about these cases going through the US system. Did anyone in Temasek even bother to find out about all the risks? Unlike in Spore, companies that operate in the 1st world face all these...
