Re: HH or East Ledang

Sorry... just saw your question... If you leave HH at about 630AM you should easily be in Raffles Place office with your starbucks by 745. We bought a bungalow, I think its phase 2b just on the cliff overlooking the golf course. There are a few left.. just drive into HH.. go to the clubhouse, walk p...

Horizon HillS is so much more sophisticated and advanced and well maintained than East Ledang or Ledsng Heights. There are plenty of rental properties at Horizon Hills and you are 5 minutes away from 3 major shopping malls. We were going to by at Ledang until we saw HH. We bought at HH instead withi...

mofobro, I've been saying exactly the same thing nigh on 30 years now. And they still haven't changed. I call it a genetic deficiency. They're incapable of learning anything different. 35 years of courtesy campaigns prove it. And the speak Good English and the various other long running, long suffe...

Well.. haha.. I think I did!! 9 years here has taught me quite abit about the mind set of people here. This is one of the most beautiful countries in the world to live in.

Unfortunately, the chinese mentality is very different than a western mentality. Singapore is a beautiful place to live in but given the chance, they'll F#*K you to the wall with railroad spikes... there is little honor or integrity here.

Hi All, I've gotten myself into a pretty tight situation and could use some advice... My wife and I arrived in January and I had a 2yr work contract. We signed a 1yr lease on a flat and moved in in Feb. Unfortunately, things didn't work out with my job and I was unable to find a new position in Sin...

Thank you for the information, and I'm sorry if you felt offended or that I was tossing the ball back at you! I wasn't- actually on the road now and was replying to you while waiting for my CNCC sticker of approval at Cantoment Police stn. Using an iPhone forces one to be "succinct"! My apologies- a...

Yes, I'm familiar with MM2H and it's a great program. Unfortunately my spouse is a Makaysian Citizen and they just changed the program such that I'm no longer eligible because of that! I need to get a long term social visa now, as do my kids. I want to get that sticker for our passports so I don't n...
