  1. Si beh hiong. At least no harm or injury to anyone. But kinda stupid. Should just run road to Malaysia/Thailand. Must be lost too much at the IR until blur liao. ==================================== 48-YEAR-OLD female bank officer has been arrested for allegedly siphoning half a million dollars in cash. The police said a report was made at 11pm on Friday after a branch manager of the bank at Serangoon Gardens discovered that $500,000 in cash was missing. Police were able to establish that the suspect might have taken the cash during the bank's closing hours the day before. When she was arrested at 5am on Saturday morning, the suspect was found to have cash amounting to $1,000 and about $5,000 worth of gambling chips. Investigations are ongoing to recover the rest of the money, the police said.

  3. http://www.todayonline.com/business/faster-interbank-transfer-service-start-march-17 SINGAPORE — A new electronic interbank service allowing almost-instant fund transfers by individuals and businesses will be available from next week, announced the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) today (March 10). Fast And Secure Transfers (FAST) will be launched on March 17, said ABS. Last month, it estimated that FAST would be made available by June. The service, accessible on Internet and mobile banking platforms 24/7, allows customers to transfer up to S$10,000 a transaction between banks in minutes, shortening a process that can at times take up to three days. Several banks, such as OCBC, are also making it available at their ATMs. Only Singapore Dollar transactions are allowed. Participating banks, including the three local banks and most major international banks based here, said the convenience FAST provides is vital as demand for electronic payments and transfers continues to grow. A total of 14 banks are offering the service. “Fund transfers via our retail and corporate Internet banking platforms grew by more than 13 per cent from S$396 billion in 2012 to S$450 billion last year. We expect this to continue to grow,” said Head of DBS Singapore Sim Seng Lim. The charges and conditions for the service differ among the 14 banks. Retail customers at DBS, OCBC and UOB would not be charged for using the service, said the three banks. For corporate customers, OCBC and UOB plan to charge S$5 a transaction after a limited period of complimentary service, while DBS said it would offer preferential rates to businesses. Foreign banks, such as Maybank, HSBC and RHB, are offering the service for free to retail customers. Maybank’s corporate clients will be charged S$0.20 a transaction. Anybody tried this today? Those who don't have a different bank account I can offer my bank account for you to try and transfer funds into. I have DBS, POSB, UOB, OCBC, Maybank, HSBC. Pls PM me for details :)
  4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEPw4IUxRzI A security guard shot dead a bank operations officer in a robbery at the Ambank branch in USJ Sentral, Subang Jaya today. Noazita Abu Talib, 37, was shot once in the face with a pump-gun in the 6.20pm incident. It is learnt that the victim was opening the door to the vault‎ when she was shot. Noazita was a mother of two and had been working at Ambank for 16 years. The security guard, who fled with an undisclosed amount of cash on a motorcycle, has been identified as a 37-year-old Sabahan with a fake IC. Subang Jaya deputy superintendant Tan ‎Ah Chua was at the scene when contacted and confirmed the incident. But he declined to elaborate further. State deputy police chief Datuk Abdul Rahim Jaafar said the suspect was armed and considered to be dangerous, cautioning the public to stay vigil. Meanwhile, police are looking for Ardi Hamza whose last known address is 70, Jalan Apas, Batu 2, ‎Tawau, Sabah to facilitate investigations.

  5. My friend wanted to change 200K+ worth of ringgit for his father medical fees. He dont feel comfortable bring in so much cash (dont think anyone would carry so much cash around even in SG), so, he intended changing ringgit at the bank and ask the bank to issue a cheque so that he could pass to his mother to deposit at Mal bank. Any idea which local bank sell ringgit? He check with POSB & DBS and found that the 2 doesnt sell ringgit ( I was quite surprise to hear that)....

  7. I think his comments cheapen the sacrifices of the men and women in Singapore especially when we have soldiers dying or even nsmen having heart attacks during ippt. Its a serious insult to our national pride especially coming from someone who has never sacrificed so much in his life in his cushy aircon office. Source:EDMW

  10. Just curious, with car prices at crazy level now, how the hell bank assess car loan applications? Lets say someone earning $3000 a month brought a new Altis for $140,000 and applied for a $130,000 loan. The monthly instalment is abt $1,300 a month. That is about 43% of his monthly pay! thought bank got a set of criteria like cannot exceed 30% of monthly pay??? If we deduct CPF, his salary will drop to $2,400 and that car instalment will be 54%. Wow. Add in petrol, ERP, misc and not even talking abt annual rd tax n insurance, easily smelly smelly $1,800 a month. Left $600 eat grass every month is it??? Really scary world out there. Either we are somewhat crazy or something is super wrong here.
  11. If DBS is giving 2.18% interest rate for used cars. Any other bank that gives a better rate?

  13. This Article talks about banks relocating some jobs out of Singapore. Of particular interest is the following paragraph in bold.
  14. when i took my car loan with the bank, i was given $3k "bonus" for a 7 year loan, which i used to offset my deposit/first payment for my car. now i left with half a year on my installments but according to the contract, if i do not complete the 7 years repayments, i will pay back the $3k. (even for early repayment). so lets say i want to change car now, will the dealers be able to work around this or i will still kenah the $3k penalty ? (actually i also only left about $3-4k on my loan repayment over the next 5 months)

  16. Hi Guys, As i'm planning for a getaway this coming march, i have decided to book a villa located in phuket. However, this villa is not a hotel managed and it is managed by "agents"and private owner. The payment mode is rather complicated. They requires bank transfer of 25% downpayment of the total sum and another 500USD as security deposit. My question is, is it safe? I've did my own diligence checks on and i don't find anything fishy. Agent replied in good english, they provide facebook page and many reviews from online. The villa i'll be booking is this. http://patonghill.com/5-bedroom-villa/ & http://privatevillarent.com/property/dvr29...g-luxury-villa/ They are actually the same villa but i believed managed by different agent as the quoted price is the same. Is there any insurance provided like ""paypal" where bank will provide some sort of protection against such claims if it happens to be a scam? Checked with my banking friends and was told that normally bank will not protect against such claims and we have to do it at our own risk. In fact, the agent did sent me the villa's owner banking details. I checked on the bank and it was indeed a vaild thailand based bank. Anyone experience such international transfer before?
  17. I understand that for bank/finance insitutions there is a clause that says "Under the deposit insurance scheme, your Singapore dollar deposits in savings, current and fixed deposit accounts with a full bank or finance company in Singapore have a total coverage of up to S$20,000 per institution." I remember a while back there was also a mention of "The Singapore Government will guarantee all bank deposits till 31 Dec 2010". Does the first statement before the government guarantee makes you feel insecure? Is it wiser to distribute your savings across mulltiple banks?
  18. Hopefully the 600 siblings dont bang into meet each other...
  19. All banks should perhaps operate a central webpage/ site with various options: No unsolicited advertisements via: Phone, SMS, Email [choose accordingly]. No circulation of personal details to any other external agency or bank subsidiary. e.g.: [pict source]
  20. S$23,000 stolen from 17 DBS Bank accounts By Julia Ng | Posted: 23 February 2012 2204 hrs Singapore: DBS has been hit by another round of unauthorised ATM withdrawals. This time, 17 customers were affected and they lost S$23,000. In a statement on Thursday night, DBS Bank said that on 19 February, the bank received calls from a handful of customers who were alerted to unauthorised ATM withdrawals in Singapore, after receiving real-time SMS alerts from the bank. But DBS said this incident is "not a result of any new skimming activity but a residual effect of the same card skimming operation that took place at the end of last year". The statement said that DBS has fully compensated all affected customers within 24 hours. DBS is working closely with the authorities on the investigation and confirms that over the past few days, there have been no unauthorised withdrawals made in Singapore. But based on the withdrawals on 19 February, DBS analytics team had identified a further group of customers who were potentially at risk of fraudulent domestic withdrawals. To safeguard them against unauthorised ATM withdrawals, the bank had proactively de-activated the cards of this group of customers, and took immediate steps to replace their cards. These customers were also informed of the card de-activation on the same day and new ATM/Debit cards have since been issued to them. The bank says it appreciates customers' understanding for the inconvenience caused as it moves to take prompt precautionary measures. DBS says it is monitoring the situation closely. In addition to sending out SMS alerts, the bank proactively contacts customers to validate ATM withdrawals, if and when any suspicious activity or unusual usage patterns are detected.

  22. http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BNews/...111-321118.html Mafia now "Italy's No.1 bank" as crisis bites: report Extortionate lending by criminal groups had become a "national emergency". -Reuters Wed, Jan 11, 2012 Reuters Organized crime has tightened its grip on the Italian economy during the economic crisis, making the Mafia the country's biggest "bank" and squeezing the life out of thousands of small firms, according to a report on Tuesday. Extortionate lending by criminal groups had become a "national emergency," said the report by anti-crime group SOS Impresa. Organized crime now generated annual turnover of about 140 billion euros (S$231 billion) and profits of more than 100 billion euros, it added. "With 65 billion euros in liquidity, the Mafia is Italy's number one bank," said a statement from the group, which was set up in Palermo a decade ago to oppose extortion rackets against small business. Organized crime groups like the Sicilian Cosa Nostra, the Naples Camorra or the Calabrian 'Ndrangheta have long had a stranglehold on the Italian economy, generating profits equivalent to about 7 per cent of national output. Extortionate lending had become an increasingly sophisticated and lucrative source of income, alongside drug trafficking, arms smuggling, prostitution, gambling and racketeering, the report said. "The classic neighborhood or street loan shark is on the way out, giving way to organized loan-sharking that is well connected with professional circles and operates with the connivance of high-level professionals," the report said. It estimated about 200,000 businesses were tied to extortionate lenders and tens of thousands of jobs had been lost as a result. Extortion with a clean face Old style gangsters handing out cash in bars and pool halls had been replaced by apparently respectable bankers, lawyers or notaries, the report said. "This is extortion with a clean face," it added. "Through their professions, they know the mechanisms of the legal credit market and they often know the financial position of their victims perfectly." Small businesses, who have struggled to get hold of credit during the economic slowdown, may have been increasingly tempted to turn to the mafia, said the report. Typical victims of extortionate lending were middle-aged shopkeepers and small businessmen who would struggle to find a new job and who were ready to try anything to avoid bankruptcy, it added. "They are usually people in traditional retail sectors like food, greengrocers, clothes or shoe shops, florists or furniture shops. These are the categories which, more than any other, are paying the price of the (economic) crisis," it said. According to a separate report this week from small business association CNA, 56 per cent of companies had seen banks tighten their lending requirements in the past three months. ($1 = S$1.3)
  23. Without saying up or down....just as good as cryptic talk. But I know when you keep increasing and stuffing something into a box, the box will be under pressure eventually. So if you keep stuffing money into your piggy bank..the money will be under pressure! So I take it that he meant that my income bank will be under pressure due to too much money! I like what he is saying! More Good Years!! Incomes will be under pressure soon: PM Lee Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Wednesday that the incomes of low-end and white-collar workers will be under pressure soon. PM Lee told CNBC in an interview that Singapore's economy is slowing down and will continue to do so going into 2012. This is due to global economic conditions getting tough. According to a Sept 1 economic report by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, economic activity in Singapore is likely to grow modestly in the second half of this year. Statistics provided by the Ministry of Trade and Industry showed that Singapore's economy grew by 1.3 per cent from July to September after contracting by 6.3 per cent in the previous quarter. This is on a seasonally-adjusted quarter-on-quarter annualised basis. PM Lee also told CNBC there will be uncertainties because the economic cycles are shorter. For the Singapore economy to continue growing at a strong pace, he said Singapore needed more workers, more skills and more talent. Mr Lee also spoke on the economic situation in Europe. When questioned by CNBC, he said the problem was deep and involved not just Greece but also other countries like Italy and Spain. "It's not just the immediate problems but there're also longer term structural questions about the Euro, and whether it will go forward or it'll go backwards. "They have to make sure that the problem does not spread beyond Greece and cause a run on Italy for example, which would have an implication for the whole world," he said.
