    i am quietly happy to have bought my car just 2 years ago where the expenses seem to have piled up for new car buyers now with the hyperinflated COE. I just wish the 10 years don't run out too soon. Am reading the news about the taxi cab fare increase. Looks very unreasonable to me. flag down...

    i don't think we'll see much progress from the old ways until the old guards are rid off. even then the policies have been effected and are very difficult to retract. take for example the old man who set up punitive measures for families producing > 1 babies. Wonder why not enough citizens...

    ah yes Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Reaching for the finer things in life after the basic needs are satisfied. Which is one reason why I find that quality housing in JB would beget its demand in time to come should the various developers play their quality card right.

    Agree, those who's read seth godin would remember him pointing out that these outlets pounce on the-consumer-thinking-they're-getting-a-good-deal marketing angle, thereby growing exponentially. The goods in essence are never meant to be sold in the glittest locations (Barneys in US, harrods in...
