Far from true...... its the banks in the US having the problems with a lot being bought slowly by the Singapore government through Temasek and also from the Middle East sovereign funds

Yep we are first world. My mother made me bring Maggi Mee when I went to the UK, winter clothes when I went to the US, and toilet paper when I went to India. See, it's these other places that are backward.

durain,
I wasn't far off that I'll tell you. a single small suitcase and a briefcase and a KMB Bandmask and that was it. Didn't even need a trolley and didn't have wheels on my suitcase either.

At least i had two wheels on my suitcase, back 14-yrs ago.......don't know how we ever survived without wheels.
But then, i landed in Hong Kong, not Singapore so obviously with the country being light years ahead i had much less trouble

How is it Singapore banks only charge 2-3% on home loans???
Where I am from its over 12%.....I dont get it?
Can you borrow here and buy at home? Or you have to live here for the length of the loan??
