I think it may be a lot worse than the past few economic crisis. The economy was already limping cos of the trade world before the COVID-19 hit the world. 

But seems like never see a great impact in sg yet? Except tourism, retails and eatery. People here still buying expensive item like car and property? Lol.

Slowly but impact will come. Typically Shares drop, then Business Drop, then Jobs Lost, then COE/Car prices drop, and last to drop is property.

So next few months correct action will be Buy Car, then property, then shares.  Provided didn't kena killed by the virus financially and literally.

 The Edge Magazine and their recent issues mention Singapore property is like safe haven in bad times such as now. Moreover they highlighted that recent launches such as the EC at Canberra in Sembawang still see healthy response. I am not too sure if they are trying to talk up the market or not.

if SQ gg, den the rest of the World's airlines confirm gone case. 

Emirates grounded 100%.

Small benefit of both SQ and EK is there is a government and wealth fund behind that can do some work. For the likes of AF/KL & Virgin, days could be numbered - maybe the Jho Low money can save MH.

Even with no loan but isnt it now better to have more cash on hand? Lol. Unless the person is millionaire then no need to say.

Anyway, enjoy the crisis while it lasts - low fuel prices, empty shopping malls, free parking. stock mkt crash - good time to catch some blue chips at all time low, property mkt crash - excellent opportunity to buy or bid for repossessed units.

Yes property market has the long lag. But when it gets there, the problem basically is sibei zeng becos most people buy with speculative income.

Had the impression that one need to be a millionaire so can afford  to purchase those recent property launch costing more than a million at least.   Dont tell me peasants can also afford to buy ah? 🤣
