1. Technically possible but you need to add a light sensor and the right-hand stalk needs to be changed to have this added auto headlight function.

2. Technically not possible to change the language as all Honda Shuttles are females born in Japan and they only speak Japanese.

And you can only get a decent plate of fresh chicken rice in Malaysia from 1 June 😜

Singapore is just too boring for me when I retire 😂

Visit caves 🙂

Soak in waterfalls 😄

Or durian farm homestay 😋

Thats why it is sad.  Singaporeans have to get out to enjoy.  All these should be possible in our own country

Singapore is physically just too small 😆

Nice to drive around Malaysia to visit the beaches occasionally 😃

Traditionally, we have been reliant on Msia for supply of fresh chickens and it had worked so far - just truck them in and pay a resonable price.

The export ban on 1 Jun 2022 was unthinkable, I guess.

In the past few days I have been wondering if there are any poultry farming in Sg and if not why.

Poultry farming is to my view the simplest as compared to pig, cattle, fish farming.

Poultry farming does not need alot of space. Vertical high rise poultry farming is a small way to go?

Today there is news that 9 blocks of HDB in Woodlands would be acquired for expansion of the border crossing complex - hmmm, there is land to spare in SG , if the need is deemed important.

I just viewed this video...... chickens can be ready in about 45 days and what they do in the video seems doable in a high rise setting.

 

 

 

CCK residents like to complain about chicken shit smell from the chicken farms.

To be fair, we are and always have been a melting pot of cultures.  That is actuall our advantage in being a global city.  So i wasnt talking about that culture per se.

the point and focus here is that for Singaporeans who contributed and are now old and retired, should have their place in their home country Singapore such that the stories and heritage may not be lost in our quest to advance and grow economically.   

imagine a country where a large population of its seniors are living and retired overseas.  That would be quite sad. 

its quite endearing and meaningful for young people to talk to old people of a much earlier generation.   Much can be learned and values can be transferred along with traditions and culture.  

It is actually more exciting rather than sad 😄

The strong exchange rate to buy lots of good food that are fresh from the farms, staying in a large landed house with a garden and ability to drive to more places to enjoy nice scenery are things that most can never achieve while retiring in Singapore.

I think it will be an upgrade in lifestyle 😇

wah ... another 0.5% + 0.5% in June and July

better wait indexes to fall jit ba boom before start nibbling?

s-reit need to drop another 5-8% price to give better yield?

Many countries such as Singapore are already experiencing 4%+ inflation without the QE that US utilised in 2020-2021.

Much of this is due to supply-side inflation.

I doubt the US is able to control its inflation back to 2-3% next year with its interest rate hikes to neutral rate.

Its sad for Singaporeans to leave becos its too expensive to retire.  What would be the culture of our future society? How will the fabric of society be weaved without the true blue Singaporean?  

Singapore since 2000s is about 50% foreigners.  The culture of true blue Singaporean is already long gone.

Going forward, Singapore will remain an economic powerhouse with GDP growth as #1 objective.

3.20 today! 😁

2022 looks like a super inflation year to me. 2023 may continue the trend.  It is a bit risky to retire.

Many retirees in Singapore on subsistence level of CPF payout are going to get caught badly.

The food producing countries' ban on exports is going squeeze Singapore residents hard.

Powell's latest tone is very hawkish after he had been criticised by former Fed Chair Bernanke.

There is no precedence of QT in this environment.

Those that nvr lose money one I nvr believe. 
 

everyone’s portfolio also jiak sai now. 
probably only us in SG slightly better since STI not doing that badly YTD 

Interest rate hikes have just increased slightly here only.

Eventually, the slower growth will bite in next quarter.

Singapore is a price-taker.

The US job data is quite strong.

From Powell's false talks since last year, 0.75% hike could be on the table.

I suggest not to commit to too long period of fixed deposits yet as the rates could soar in the coming months.
