More cash handouts will be welcomed by hungry sinkees.

Now that exports hit a brick wall, PAP will need to spur domestic consumption for growth. These are not handouts to help Sinkies. It’s to help the businesses.

[SINGAPORE] Singapore may or may not enter a recession this year, but its economic growth will no doubt be “significantly impacted” by the onslaught of tariffs wreaked by Trump, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said in Parliament on Tuesday (Apr 8).

He echoed Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong’s comment last Thursday that the government is reassessing Singapore’s growth forecast of 1 to 3 per cent, adding that it will “likely revise it downwards”.

“Slower growth will mean fewer job opportunities and smaller wage increases for workers,” said PM Wong, who is also finance minister.

INDONESIAN-BORN BILLIONAIRE PICKS UP SINGAPORE SHOPHOUSE HOTEL FOR $75M​

2025/04/06 BY CHRISTOPHER CAILLAVET LEAVE A COMMENT

An Indonesian-born, Ivy League-educated billionaire has acquired a 48-room hotel in the Boat Quay area near downtown Singapore, with market sources who spoke to Mingtiandi confirming a transaction price of S$100 million ($74.9 million).

Leo KoGuan — a software magnate and one of the largest individual shareholders in Elon Musk’s Tesla — bought 21 Carpenter, a hostelry fashioned from four conservation shophouses, from local player 8M Real Estate, according to an announcement this week. Shophouse specialist 8M picked up the 1936-vintage property seven years ago for a reported S$37 million and converted it from retail and office use to a boutique hotel under the Marriott Design brand.






The S$100 million sum represents the largest-ever shophouse transaction by quantum in Singapore, according to deal advisor JLL. The per-key price of more than S$2 million is likewise one of the biggest for a city-state hospitality property, eclipsing the S$1.8 million that Vietnam’s Viva Land paid three years ago for So/ Singapore on Robinson Road.

For local resident Leo, a self-styled Sinologist and historian of Taoism icon Xuan Yuan of Chinese antiquity, the 21 Carpenter buy was part of a mission to make a meaningful contribution to society.

“As a new member of the community, I am committed to enhancing the welfare, culture and heritage of Singapore,” he said. “This boutique hotel plays a vital role in enriching Singapore’s cultural landscape, honouring its heritage and celebrating the legacy of Chinese immigrants.”

pay them millions each to always set up task force. Simi also is task force.

The task force's final report will contain a litany of phrases and opinions that are overused and betrays a lack of original thought, ideas or solutions.

ALL S'poreans should have $$$ deposited into our bank account since the rich pay far more in both direct and indirect taxation than the hoi polloi.

In church, Christians pray for global peace and the well-being of all people; they do not preach division or advocate for the killing of non-believers.

That is why modern Christianity beats Islam because it preaches peace to all instead of violence against non believers
