    Check your loan document. It is indicated in mine. Anyway, it is good to have an insurance to cover potential risks. Imagine whole house got burnt down. Where got money to rebuild? When that happens, want to cry also got no tears.

    I guess it depends on area. New 5-room flat at Seng Kang was around $260k in 1997.

    I recently realized that price of new flat now is not much different from 12 - 13 years ago. So, price has not risen much actually. However, I do not know the restriction on single buying new HDB flat. I agree that if you buy a HDB flat today, you'll have to sit out for the next five years or...

    It is ideal to have a place in Singapore to fall back to. Looking at the way we Singaporean treated foreigners in Singapore, we may be treated the same in foreign land when karma strikes. When that happens, it's time to balik kampong.

    Re: Reliable mechanic? Mr Satu Malaysia Yup, I think the filters are slightly more expensive. Perhaps because of the brand. When you want to replace your tire, let me know. I'll introduce you to a tire shop in Singapore. Price is reasonable and comes with free rotation and balancing.

    I also do not think the toll will be raised 5 times (I hope). It is bad for the business and a politically dangerous move. Having said that, it may not be raised 5 times now, we can expect it to be some times later. When that happens, like bro DOA suggested, carpooling is one way to go. That...

    All about cars in Malaysia

    Re: Reliable mechanic? Mr Satu Malaysia Hi Crystal, I have never had my car serviced in Malaysia before. However, I did 60k service in Singapore in last Sept and that cost me $312. So, I guess it was a reasonable price that you paid. Did you have to wait long for the car to be serviced...

    Re: Explanation of Land Size. To get square feet, just multiply the numbers. You can think of build up area as total floor area inside the house or apartment. Hope this helps.

    Hi Bro Yonglip, I saw the black tank in my unit today. As I understand, most if not all houses are equipped with one. So, what you saw at your place should be the water tank.
