    Blackout hits large parts of Singapore

    This is a worrying trend. You have MRT breakdowns & other failures. Despite all the problems the PAP is ignoring the problems & happy to continue with their policy of hiring cheaper foreigners & putting overpaid paper generals into key positions.

    Serious Johnny333.......Which Budget Stock Brokerage You Suggested In The Past ?

    The problem is with the people advising him. The impression I get is that Trump is very ignorant or senile. He doesn't have a long term game plan to all his tariffs & trade policies. I've made to set aside some $ from the dividends I get from each quarter. If there is a buying opportunity I...

    Serious Johnny333.......Which Budget Stock Brokerage You Suggested In The Past ?

    There's plenty of talk of a recession because of Trumps irresponsible policies. He's increased the US deficit by cutting taxes, started his trade wars, threatening to withdraw from trade bodies, .. etc. Removing the regulations on banks that Obama put in place to prevent another sub prime...

    ask question regarding ceiling fan

    If you decide on buying a new fan. Take a look at the KDK brand. I am happy with the unit I got. It has a wireless remote & a lamp built into the fan. My previous fan had a chain hanging down which you had to pull to change the speed. Replaced it with a KDK when the chain broke.

    Serious Value For Money Tablet

    What do you intend to use the tablet for? Once you decide on that then see if the apps you need are available on that platform. If you only look only at price it may be a case of being penny wise, pound foolish.

    LOL ikea prices back to square one with 6% SST, Aeon also going to adjust prices after September. So where’s the benefit to the people?

    Unless you are an MNC I doubt that EDB would be interested in giving tax breaks. Even for MNCs I bet that such tax breaks come with plenty of strings a company has to satisfy. For smaller companies like Old Chang Kee it's easier to just moved their kitchens to JB & you avoid the hassles...

    When I was young people went to the botanic garden to see the monkeys that lived there. After some biting incidents the authorities decided to kill all the monkeys. Looks like there is a new bunch of monkeys.

    Been investing in Malaysia since the CLOB era. In fact I still own some of the shares I bought under CLOB. Been re-investing the dividend I've been getting from my Malaysian shares. I take the long term view & it doesn't really cost me anything to do so. If the ringgit eventually appreciates...

    Who here is promoting Apple products? Why are you so bitter about the success of Apple? In my case I have been a satisfied user of their computers for 30+ years. Many seem to agree with me because I see many people using their computers. I have also made plenty of $$$ investing in Apple...

    Some people use "fan boy" in a derogatory way. I use Mac products because they are easy to use. As Apple is a market leader, it is also easy to get the trading software that I use on the IOS/Mac platform. Security is important to me because I do financial transaction via the internet...

    I am a long time Apple user. First time I used a Mac was when the 512 Mac was introduced. I couldn't afford to buy one but what attracted me to it was the simplicity of the WYSIWYG platform. Over the years I've owned various Macs e.g. Mac SE, Mac CI, Quadra 800, Mac 7200, ... Bondi Beach...

    In the Q1(Feb 2019), we will see how many of these new iPhones Apple has sold. Years ago I stopped betting against Apple because they've shown to understand the phone market. That is why they are now a trillion dollar company.

    If you can't afford an iPhone than get a cheaper Samsung or Huawei phone or get one of the older & cheaper iPhones. Obviously you don't follow Apple that closely. If you did than you would know that they have acquired companies to do in house chip design as well as working with Samsung & TSMC...
