Is there any after market device that does auto-off for headlights? Ie, the headlights will go off on its own once the engine is off. I got a "phobia" since encounteering a dead battery after forgetting to off the headlights when I rushed my girl to KKH A&E. Rushed off from the car and came back 2.5 hours later to realise that the battery is kaput!

I am not financially trained. With the situation with Greece and today's falling market, is there anything to be worried about? or is this just another day in the market? Or is this leading to something like the Asian financial crisis?

Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB") and Pavilion Group ("Pavilion") today announced the creation of a joint venture to invest in Pavilion Damansara Heights, a mixed-use development project in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As part of the joint venture, CPPIB will commit approximately MYR485 million (C$170 million) for a 49% interest in the development. Representing CPPIB's first direct real estate investment in Malaysia, Pavilion Damansara Heights is a freehold development integrating corporate towers, luxury residences and a retail galleria. The development is located in one of the most prime and affluent locations in Kuala Lumpur, less than 10km from Petronas Twin Towers. It is well connected by a network of highways and strategically served by two upcoming MRT stations within walking distance to the development. "We are pleased to make our first direct real estate investment in Southeast Asia through this joint venture with one of Malaysia's most well-respected developers, the Pavilion Group," said Jimmy Phua, Managing Director and Head of Real Estate Investments Asia. "This joint venture fits well with our investment strategy as it provides us with a great opportunity to work with a smart partner in a high-quality real estate asset that will provide attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term." Pavilion is an experienced local developer of commercial and residential projects and is one of the strongest and most well-established Malaysian retail developers. Pavilion has developed several prominent retail malls, office and retail projects in Kuala Lumpur. "We are looking forward to the opportunity to partner with CPPIB in this exciting development in Kuala Lumpur," said Mr Timothy Liew, Project Director of Pavilion Group. "It is a highly anticipated landmark for Damansara Heights, set within Malaysia's most affluent neighbourhood, offering a world-class integrated development that is synonymous with the Pavilion Brand." -

How do you guys see such a move? Free travel within ASEAN? Possibility of same currency and etc....Personally, I foresee many issue such as the nearby countries crime starts to flood Singapore. Afterall, not all the Asean countries have the same economic development level. ASEAN to declare single market but delays deeper integration: Malaysia https://sg.news.yahoo.com/asean-declare-single-market-delays-deeper-integration-malaysia-134610829.html?linkId=11937214 ASEAN will officially call itself a single market by year's end, but "big things" like seamless travel within the 10-nation bloc would only come in 2020, Malaysia's trade minister told AFP in an interview. "We're going to declare ourselves as an ASEAN Economic Community," said Mustapa Mohamed, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the Southeast Asian bloc this year. "We don't have complete integration or harmonisation yet, 2015 is laying the stage for bigger things to come," he said on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos. "We're going to get almost there by 2015 but the big things like seamless travel... would come in 2020. "What's important is that we're committed, I'm not saying that we're backtracking," added the minister. The Southeast Asian bloc, a market of about 600 million people, had set 2015 as a deadline for integrating the region's vast economies into a single European Union-style market, with tariffs abolished and free movement of skilled workers. But there is much scepticism that the targets could be met, as the bloc is made up of countries in vastly different stages of economic development. Myanmar, for instance, is just opening up its economy after decades of isolation over its outright military rule which came to an end in 2011. At the opposite end of the spectrum is Singapore, which ranks among the world's richest nations. Mustapa acknowledged that it would only be "in 2020 that you'll see more progress in ASEAN economic integration" in term of the abolishing of non-tariff barriers, and flow of skilled labour. By year's end, there will be "freer movement of goods and services but not free movement of goods and services." The business community has been pushing political leaders to move faster on integration, but Mustapa said the ASEAN model is gradual. "The business community wants ASEAN to be integrated as one entity. The fact is that there are border issues, customs, immigration, and different regulations," he said. In addition, there is little understanding among the general public on how a single market can change their lives, said the minister. "Some fear that they would be robbed of their jobs, that come December 2015, I'll be out of job because my Malaysian friend is coming over," he said. "We need to do a lot more in terms of communication." Asked if Europe's recent economic woes over heavily indebted member states like Greece had put off integration plans, Mustapa said that "from day one, we know that we're not going to adopt the EU model". A single currency or a parliament were never part of the bloc's plans, he said. ASEAN groups together Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

http://www.propertyguru.com.sg/property-management-news/2013/11/36861/govt-urged-to-promote-healthy-property-market The Real Estate Developers’ Association of Singapore (Redas) has urged the government to ensure that the property market remains healthy, media reports said. Speaking at the association’s 54th anniversary dinner last Friday, Redas President Chia Boon Kuah stated: “It is our hope that the government will calibrate its land sales programme to ensure land supply at a pace that will contribute to the overall health of the market.” He noted that “as long as homes are purchased with sound reasoning, we believe in riding out each cycle that comes our way”. “We have faith that the government will continue to monitor the movements in Singapore's property cycle, and ensure a balance between development viability and housing affordability.” He also revealed that while the industry has achieved success, it has had its share of challenges, which include dealing with the effects of the government’s seventh and most comprehensive round of cooling measures and the introduction of the total debt servicing ratio (TDSR). Furthermore, the expiry of the lock-in period of the Seller Stamp Duty from now till 2017 and the large supply of homes coming on-stream continue to weigh on the industry’s mind, said Chia. I was just wondering what the general consensus among MCFers is? Are we hoping that property prices will come down significantly so that we can buy in (remember that your current property price will also decrease in value should you require to sell before you buy) or do we all hope the property prices will continue on this crazy bull run (remembering should you choose to upgrade the next property you buy will also be relatively higher)?

How You Can Still Get a Car in the Current Market

It feature a 0.9Liter straight-3 engine with output of 90 bhp and 135 nm of torque Just that maybe the COE now may cost this car over 100k+ , if not this car is worth it , as it has only a 0.9liter engine = low tax 90bhp and 135nm of torque = enough to drive around Singapore road and i bet it's more fuel saving then a Honda Fit but not a prius.

hmm... Do you think there is a possiblity that there may be a big commerical pty market crash next yr? Many SME business I know is facing crisis. Given the higher rental cost , operating cost as well as manpower shortage... Do you think there is a likelihood that many small business will fold soon. Causing many commerical properties to be "out of rent".

There are problems brewing in the COE market - BIG problems that will need to be addressed - just what will happen in the next five years is anyone's guess. Take a look at what is happening with the COE right now, I'll only look at Cat B here to keep things as simple as possible, but to my mind there is a huge buble forming that is going to cause a massive shakeout in the near future that the government is going to have to be very clever to counter. The price at the last round was $95,000 - the conventional wisdom is that it will stay high until around 2014 when the "bumper crop" cars start to come up for deregistrations. What is going to happen when this comes about? Well I think if the COE drops appreciably, there is going to be an issue. First of all, a part of what is driving the current high price is the paucity of deregistrations - there are a whole heap of cars currently on the roads with $10-$30k COEs that will not buy at $50k and above. These people are holding onto their cars for all they're worth. IF, with all the cars coming up the price of the COE drops back to say $15k in 2015. What will happen? Let's take a worked example of a Toyota Wish from Borneo. If I buy today, and sell in AUgust 2015, I will get back $82,625 from PARF and COE. Assuming the (factory) price of the car does not move in that time, and the COE is $15K, I will be able to replace it with a brand new car for only $88,000. Meaning I only need to get $5,300 for the body and I get a brand new car FOR FREE. Who wouldn't do this? I certainly would. So there will be NO used cars sold. It would be a stupid move - the car would have to sell for less than paper value - and who would do that? At the same time - there is going to be a HUGE boom in the ADs - virtually EVERYBODY will be changing cars - there won't be the capacity in the market - this will cause all sorts of management issues, not to mention problems with how many COE to be released, compensating for deregistrations and the like. If the price really does fall dramatically, it's going to deepen the "boom / bust" cycle that is already prevalent. Even if it only drops back to $50,000 after a year or more above $90,000, there is still big big incentives to change car - that $40k difference in COE amounts to a difference of $4k a year in depreciation - which is rather significant in anyone's bank account. So what will the government do? I don't see that they will want this to happen. One way, that might work - set a COE "floor". If not less people bid above the floor than there are COEs - then those COEs are "saved" for future rounds. Another way might be to try and second guess the market and "predict" how many COE to release to keep the price high. What would be interesting, would be to see if there is any analysis on past behaviour when COE drops - just how many cars were deregistered and how much was the difference in quota premium that triggered it (LTA should be able to track this as it will have information on a per car basis that it can aggregate - for us, it is pretty much impossible as we do not have enough information). Any thoughts?

Tai Keng Court fetches moer than selling price 23 March 2012 Straits Times THE owners of Tai Keng Court have defied the subdued collective sale market by selling their mixed-use estate for about 25 per cent more than they asked for. They will get $161.1 million for the freehold plot at the junction of Jalan Lokam and Upper Paya Lebar Road, which works out to $1,109 per sq ft (psf) per plot ratio (ppr). Flat owners can expect to receive gross proceeds of about $1.89 million - around 50 per cent more than if they had sold their units individually. Shop owners will reap between $2.19 million and $2.55 million, said marketing agent Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL). The complex has 56 apartments and 24 shops in three blocks. The $161.1 million bid is the highest unit price achieved in at least four collective sales struck this year and largest total quantum. The previous high for the year was the $96.2 million for Seletar Garden. The Straits Times understands that about five bidders took part in the tender, with most offering more than the $130 million asking price. A joint venture between Fragrance Group, with a 60 per cent share, and Aspial Corp topped the tender. Experts said developers lost interest in collective sales on the back of a new rule that requires them to build and sell all units in a project within five years of acquiring the site or pay a 10 per cent additional stamp duty. But the popularity of mixed-use projects such as Bedok Residences, Watertown in Punggol and The Hillier in Upper Bukit Timah that have hit the market recently meant Tai Keng Court stood a good chance of attracting buyer interest. Mr Nicholas Ng, associate director of investments at JLL, noted that the estate also had a freehold tenure, unlike recent mixed-development launches, most of which had 99-year leases. 'Developers are aware of the rarity of such sites. This is especially so as Tai Keng Court, built in the early 1970s, sits on a large freehold site with a commercial component, which has great convenience and frontage, and is long due for redevelopment,' he added. The 103,798 sq ft site is zoned residential and commercial and has a gross plot ratio of up to 1.4. Up to 40 per cent of its potential gross floor area of 145,317 sq ft can be used for commercial space. It can be built up to five storeys.
