Singapore Property


There are hundreds of Singapore property websites residing in the blogosphere, but there is only a handful of credible property websites that offers flat seekers, buyers or sellers, prospective landlords or tenants the information they require fast and convenient.

So imagine my utmost delight when I come across this singapore property website today: ST701.


There is a raft of valuable information that is so readily available on the website which I believe will cater to the differing needs of all users.

While navigating the many useful features of this great website, I even learnt of a property seminar which seems interesting and pertinent to what I am looking for now.. hehe, I will sign up for it soon!
I am amazed that ST701 has such a comprehensive website on all things related to singapore property, singapore real estate, singapore hdb, etc. This is one singapore real estate which I will visit often to get the latest information on the property market in Singapore!

Aha ! So u n ur Angel r saving up for ur own place ?

I hv been trawling the limited sites set up by a handful of agents who caters to non-Sg'reans. As u can imagine, they r all out to grab the big bucks, so those offers r totally useless to me. My cousin who is an estate agent tells me that I wont qualify for a property under the S$ 1,6 million bracket. This is very disheartening for me bec I'm planning to move back to SG when my hubby retires.

Getting a working permit is not an option n neither is getting a PR status *SAD*

Hubby ask why would I want to live in a crowded city with high inflations when we hv the green space, tranquility n reasonably affordable standards of living ?

Well, the 48% income tax is killing ! The compulsory medic insurance is rising every year (€ 2400 for basic n €4000 for premium)for us both, GST is 19% going on 20% when the econ recovers, public transport is going thru the roof with 6-9% increase each year (roundtrip at € 12,80 to go to the city), etc.

What is the percentage for savings in SG ? Here the IRS takes 1,2% on ur cash, assets like valuable paintings, boats, 2nd homes, antique cars n anything they can think of ! The rules here r very tightly regulated for the IRS to maximise their squeeze on the working folks *big sigh*

How's that in SG ? What hv I got to watch out to avoid being fleeced by the powers-that-be ??

Income tax r automatically deducted from salary each month lor
:-/ ! Hubby n I r paying the top scale. The rates r between 25% to 48%. An appraisal is also made for the following year to be paid in the current year bec the govt needs the dough to run the country.
It always stresses me out when I get the bill !

I suppose assets/wealth is taxed in SG as well ?

Vernon Leong Jun Wei

What happens to the 31 year old bride groom, Vernon Leong Jun Wei? As the news of this latest unnatural and bizzare death developed, it seemed that Vernon did not jump from the 24th storey of Hilton Hotel as was believed earlier. There were 3 video camera footages which might prove otherwises for the cause of Vernon's death. The first video footage showed Vernon at the 24th storey, making his way hurriedly into the fire escape staircase. The next video footage showed Vernon at the 2nd storey which also holds some shops and the final footage showed an unconscious Vernon motionless at the ground of the hotel. Vernon was cladded casually in a T-shirt and pants and have left his hotel room while his wife was taking a shower. It seemed that he might be escaping from something or somebody or that he might be chasing after something or somebody. What did Vernon see and experience at his last moments? The police is still investigating the case. It is really a very tragical and sad

Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Amidst the blazing afternoon sun today, my Dear and I made our way to Kampong Lorong Buangkok. The visit was a timely one as there is such a high buzz being generated over the last kampong in modern Singapore. After alighting from Bus 854 from Eunos, it was not difficult to find our way to the kampong. The entrance of the kampong was distinct as you could see from the picture: the 'ulu-ness' (rural charm) is evident from the attap-roofed buildings and more unkempt conditions. A signboard with hand-written text welcome my Dear and I to the last kampong in Singapore: As we entered the kampong, I spotted a middle-aged woman talking to an old man. I had seen the old woman before on TV. She was none other than the owner of the kampong land. In the documentary, I learnt that the whole kampong land was passed to her by her late father. She has kept the land and have not gone on to sell the land to the government. If she were to sell the land, she would be an instant multi-millionair

Performance Bonus

It is the time of the year civil servants receive their performance bonuses (PBs). In the coming two weeks, civil servants will not only receive their performance bonuses, special ‘growth bonuses’, would also await them for the very first time. These PBs and growth bonuses are only applicable to performers, defined as officers with assessed performance gradings above the ‘D’ grade. Typically, civil servants receive their performance bonuses in March, a 0.5 month of bonus in July and a 13th month plus AVC in December. Are all the bonuses good? To be frank, the bonuses dished out in Civil Service are averages at best. With the various bonuses being given out in these months: July, December and March, a civil servant who would like to quit would most likely try to find a ‘suitable’ month to quit so as not to forfeit his bonuses. The December bonus is generally the most generous portion. To quantify for this bonus, an officer would have to be in service till the end of January ne
