Heard when young couple fail to get their choice bto through balloting. They do not want to wait so the parents help  them by paying the down payment for the condo and the young couple service the monthly instalments. It seems to be ongoing trend no wonder condo launches selling well🤣

Why fail to get BTO through balloting need to buy condo instead ah? Cannot buy resale HDB?

Thats also why the rich poor gap continues to widen.

i think they should raise taxes for those who make > $500kpa and those above $1m a lot more.  Then can give out CDC, give more to unemployed seniors above 50.   
 😄🤗😙

Yes I would approve for Govt to continue to give out CDC vouchers especially more to unemployed seniors between 50 - 55 becos they need it most.  

Go Go Go!

Blood drips from HDB ceiling, leads to discovery of woman's decomposing body

Blood leaking from the ceiling of a flat in Bedok South led to a grim discovery on May 25 - the rotting body of a 77-year-old woman who had died alone in the unit above.

The incident happened at about 2.05pm at Block 163 Bedok South Road.

According to Shin Min Daily News, the woman's downstairs neighbours first noticed something was wrong when they saw blood dripping from the ceiling of their master bedroom and detected a foul stench.

One of them, Ms Zeng, 70, said her son made the discovery at around 1pm and alerted her immediately.

"I saw blood dripping and even smelled a foul odour," she told reporters.

"We realised something was wrong, so we went upstairs and found the victim's sister standing outside the unit. We persuaded her to call the police," she added.

Police arrived at the scene shortly after, and by 4pm, the corridor outside the unit had been cordoned off.

A crime scene investigation (CSI) vehicle was also spotted parked at the foot of the block.

The smell upstairs was reportedly overwhelming.

Residents said the woman, known affectionately as "Nancy", had lived in the flat alone for more than 25 years.

Ms Zeng's husband, Mr Ou, 72, said: "We don't know what to do now. The smell is unbearable. We will sleep in the guest room first and contact the authorities later to see how to solve the problem."

Another neighbour, Mr Salama, 61, said Nancy's sister had turned up at around 10am that day to check on her, but no one answered the door.

"I got home at around 11am and she asked me if I'd seen Nancy," he recalled.

"We knocked on the door and could already smell a stench coming from inside."

Separately, another neighbour said a food delivery bag had been hanging on the doorknob for two days - a sign that something might have been wrong.

The sister returned home to search for a spare key but couldn't find it, and later called a locksmith. But the locksmith refused to open the door after detecting the foul smell.

It wasn't until the neighbour downstairs came up to complain about blood seeping through the ceiling that the woman decided to alert the authorities.

A black vehicle from the undertaker arrived at around 6pm to remove the body.

When contacted, the police confirmed they received a report and found the 77-year-old woman lying motionless in the unit. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Preliminary investigations ruled out foul play. Police said investigations are ongoing.

In a way, it boils down to our education, which emphasises conformity.

Ppl are not train to think out of the box.

That's why we are not suitable to be on MNC C-suite.

Can't even operate in Gray Zone.

Not sure if Buyer is a local Citizen by birth or naturalised citzen or PR henceforth still  incurring further ABSD

In Dubai the local Emirati are about only 11% and the rest are all foreigners and the economy is booming and bustling; albeit the traffic is notoriously bad; but foreigners love it for varied reasons

No comparison. 
the locals in Dubai are rich. The foreigners go there largely to work and serve. 

here in singapore, its the opposite.

the locals are the blue collar, the foreigners are enjoying life here. 
 

reality hurts……heh heh

It could be human nature that they cover their own backside no matter how high or low the position of that person.

Bro, in that case better dont take the high salary and high rank becos thats for people who make difficult decisions instead of going around covering their ass. 
 

such people are just lame lah, simple as that.  They probably climb up the ladder by hanging onto another persons coat tails.

The local Emirati are really "indigenous locals/ tribals " , to be honest it would be akin to the original Orang Laut here or simply the Malays , the  "rest" of us are just migrants be they from China or India back in mid/ late 1800's or after the East India Co saw the potential here , Malaysia or Malaya/ Straits Settlements  as it was called back then 

Singapore is like no different from NY USA........ survival of the fittest (so that means full open competition all the way) except for the CDC kachang puteh vouchers
