depend on the quality of management .. i chased my MC until fed up so i tried DIY and looks like problem solved. did it a few years ago

hi Malpaso,

can share wats the brand and pricing of yr solution ?

 

[ginfreely]

Thanks for sharing yr experience, if the leakages are internal, we can DIY, unless it's external wall, then it becomes Mgmt problem, need to erect scaffoldings...

If can DIY best, but the water leakage can cause damage to false ceiling, built in cabinet etc that need to be replaced. I remember a case whereby the downstairs neighbour renovated and replaced more than damage and claimed from the upstairs neighbour and ended up in court haha.

SINGAPORE: Starting Aug 1, the Vehicle Entry Permit fee for foreign-registered cars entering Singapore will be raised from S$20 to S$35 per day, while the Goods Vehicle Permit fee for foreign-registered goods vehicles will be raised from S$10 to S$40 per calendar month, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Tuesday (July 1).

The Vehicle Entry Permit fee increase only applies to foreign-registered cars and will not affect buses or taxis, the LTA said, adding that the fee for foreign-registered motorcycles will remain unchanged at S$4 per day.

Foreign-registered cars entering Singapore will have to pay the permit fee from 2am to 5pm on weekdays – except during Singapore’s June and December school holidays, when the chargeable hours will be 2am to 12pm on weekdays.

As per current regulations, no permits for foreign-registered cars and motorcycles are required on Saturdays, Sundays and Singapore public holidays. In addition, each foreign-registered car and motorcycle can enter Singapore for a maximum of 10 days per calendar year without having to pay the permit fees.

Owners of foreign-registered goods vehicles can continue to purchase the Goods Vehicle Permit at the current fee of S$10 for July. However, permits with a validity period beyond July will be charged at S$40 per calendar month, the LTA said.

The transport agency said in a statement on Tuesday that the fee increase is part of its periodic review to ensure that “the cost of owning and using a foreign-registered vehicle in Singapore is commensurate with that of owning and using a Singapore-registered vehicle”.

Isn't it time to charge these Malaysian fat cats who are working here for using their own cars ? $20 a day is consider meaningless. In fact, i think it is merciful to them. Consider these people earning 3K easily per month without CPF or anything. It is cheap by their standard.

$700 per month is too little. My office neighbours angmo earns S$8000 / month n stay in HH.

At least my ex-classmates scholars friends in LTA are listening to my feedbacks!

Positive move.

Hopefully thats more people car pool instead lesser car on the road. Inline with current COE price. Good move LTA.

Yah I think its a gd move too, that will result in lesser cars on the road. Woodlands Checkpoint 530 pm is terrible. Hopefully no tit for tat move by the Malaysians....haha

2nd link is worse! It jams all the way into AYE and almost to the roundabout about 6pm. It takes 2-3 hours to clear on weekdays and the Q-cutters, er sorry to say this, 99% are "foreign" cars

40RM for 1 liter a few years back. there is no chemical composition stated on the tin

hope this helps. i'm not affiliated to the product manufacturer in any way. it was recommended me by a hardware shop in kota damansara quite a while back

Regarding the VEP increase, I read a comment on sgcarmart forum about how some EP holders might buy a Sg car to avoid paying higher VEP. That will maintain a certain level of demand for new cars and COE won't drop to pre-2009 levels

Be careful what you wish for...

i know one property agent in jb he is driving singapore car

 

[vincentck]

I'm not wishing for COE to remain at current levels. It's just another viewpoint whereby with the Gov increasing VEP; it could indirectly cause the COE to remain at high levels because of increased demand from EP holders who can afford to buy a SG car.

Malpaso, maybe the JB agent is a Singaporean.

 

[crystal_tiong]

wow, saw online news , jb also wan to copycat n collect more money fr sg car gg to msia .. google n see.....
lets see who cant tahan n withdraw e extra fees .....

[Sunday]

hey, today I saw a news in the Chinese news paper 早报that a high class G&G landed at 武吉英达(Bukit Indah?) have experienced 2 time arm robbery / house break in, where the residences have made discussion with the management but nothing is done.

Any one know which project it that? Horizon Hill, SP Setia, Nusa Duta????

 

[FHBH12]

SG reporters n govt officials r scanning this forum now

 

[alnine]

I think VEP increase is to control the Malaysian car numbers. I was a few Malaysian cars in office carpark, 2 years back there was none. Also heard of stories of SPR hiring drivers so that they can drive in a malaysian car.
