  1. Hi all, I be collecting my new car soon and most likely it will be bare with all accessories fixed outside by myself.

  2. As a NS recruit, I did not know much about the Kota Tinggi details but later as a staff officer I had the opportunity to meet these personnel from 2SIR during the usual Friday Tombolo Night. At that time when Singapore was a part of Malaysia our two SIRs were renamed as 1MIR and 2MIR. 2SIR was operationally responsible for the Singapore and southern Johore area. 2MIR (2SIR) was raised in 1962 and billeted at Holland Road Camp. According to my superior who was then a young 2LTA in 2 SIR, Dalgit Singh was already a platoon commander, together with LTA Mejar Singh. 2SIR's CO was a Colonel Campbell, a British seconded from the British Army. It was the crack Indonesian paratroopers from the "KKI", an elite Guards unit from Jakarta which was sent on this mission. The Malaysian police post at Kota Tinggi were alerted of the parachute-landing and the nearest infantry garrison to Kota Tinggi was 2 SIR in Singapore. 1SIR at that time was deployed to the Sabah border with Indonesia. One platoon of 2SIR was sent inside the jungles of Kota Tingi. For those who have ventured into Kota Tinggi (which I did as a child and as a teenager), it has a waterfall as the key attraction. The killing zone was north of the waterfall. 2SIR made no contact with the Indonesians for about a week. However, unknowingly the Indonesians were tailing one of the SIR sections. Not finding them for a week, that section grew tired and went for a bath at one of the nearby Kota Tinggi streams. Everybody left their weapons at the riverbank with no personnel on sentry-duty. For those trained in the SAF doctrine, you are not supposed to do this and at all times, your rifle must be with you. The Indonesians pounded on our boys but one injured personnel managed to sneak away and ran for his life into Kota Tinggi Town. All this time, there was "radio silence" because this was a mission. It was only after the injured personnel emerged from the jungle that the incident became known. When the dead were recovered, their bodies were infested with maggots and were very gruesome Reinforcements were rushed up from Singapore. On that mission were names like James Teo (who was the 5SIR CO for BERSATU PADU in 1971), Jimmy Yap (CO Officer Cadet School), Mahinder Singh (Dy Director SAFTI) and Dalgit Singh (CO 3SIR). They were

  5. A Temasek Holdings Pte unit offered to buy Olam International Ltd. (OLAM) in a bid that values the commodity trader at S$5.3 billion ($4.2 billion), about 16 months after it helped stave off an attack by short-seller Carson Block. Breedens Investments Pte is offering S$2.23 cash per share, the Singapore-based company said today in a statement, a 12 percent premium to Olam’s last closing price of S$1.995. It is also making an offer for Olam’s outstanding bonds and warrants. Temasek, Singapore’s state-owned investment firm, became the largest investor in Olam, one of the world’s top three coffee and rice traders, after concerns raised by short-seller Block in November 2012 caused the stock to plummet. The offer has the support of Olam’s founding family and management, with some agreeing to sell a proportion of their shares to the bidding group. “Temasek is already a large holder of Olam so they probably know the business better than everybody else,” said Robert Aspin, the Singapore-based head of equity investment strategy at Standard Chartered Plc. “The fact that they are willing to pay a premium is indicative of the value that they see in the underlying business.” Olam has rallied 30 percent this year through March 12 in Singapore, compared with a 2.2 percent decline in the benchmark Straits Times Index. The stock, which closed as low as S$1.395 after Block’s attack, reached a near 17-month high of S$1.995 on March 12. An employee walks past the logo of Temasek Holdings Pte at the company's headquarters in Singapore. Group Support Breedens also has an agreement with a group including Kewalram Singapore Ltd., Olam’s founding family shareholder, and 10 Olam executives including Chief Executive Officer Sunny Verghese to not tender their shares until six months after the offer closes, Breedens said in a statement. All totaled they hold 52.5 percent ofOlam shares. Kewalram and three members of key management have agreed to sell a 5.6 percent stake in Olam in acceptance of the offer. Credit Suisse Group AG, DBS Group Holdings Ltd., and United Overseas Bank Ltd. advised Breedens. Breedens doesn’t plan to make any major changes to Olam’s businesses or terminate employees. It also intends to keep Olam as a listed company, unless the minimum float requirements aren’t met, it said. “We believe a successful offer will provide Olam with a stronger and more stable shareholder base to support Olam’s strategy and business model for the long term,” Breedens Director David Heng said in the statement. “We have invested in Olam over the years, and share a common investment philosophy to invest and build for the long term.” Block’s Bet Block said in November 2012 he was betting against Olam because he questioned the trader’s accounting methods and asset purchases, pushing the stock to a more than three-year low in December 2012. Olam rejected the assertions by Block and his research firm Muddy Waters LLC. Block today declined to comment. “Olam has been oversold following the issues raised by Muddy Waters and has bounced back strongly as the company addressed those concerns,” Alan Richardson, a Hong Kong-based money manager at Samsung Asset Management, said by phone before the announcement. As well as adding Olam shares after the Block allegations, Temasek also backed a $750 million bond sale by the commodity trader. Olam said in December 2012 it planned to sell bonds and warrants to address any “lingering doubts” about its finances. The investment firm agreed at the time to buy any rights not taken up by other investors. Olam is a supplier and processor of agricultural products and food ingredients across 16 platforms in 65 countries. Temasek holds 24.6 percent of Olam through its units Breedens and Aranda Investments Pte, and the founding family has a 20.2 percent stake, according to today’s statement.

  16. So now it is because he does not think "better than developers or investors", after the slew of measures on property introduced when he took over the hot seat from MBT? And will it be too late when our friend finally decides to act? Having said that, most such shoe-box unit buyers, many of whom are identified as speculators from the report, purchase them with their eyes open so if and when the bubble burst, I just hope they do not go around KPKBing blaming the whole world and scream for govt assistance to bail them out. From CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1201174/1/.html I will not hesitate to intervene in shoe-box unit market: Khaw Posted: 14 May 2012 1844 hrs SINGAPORE: Minister for National Development Khaw Boon Wan on Monday said he would not hesitate to intervene should there be clear evidence of unsustainable investor demand for shoe-box apartments. He added that the Ministry of National Development (MND) was watching the situation closely. However, Mr Khaw cautioned that it would be hard for him to intervene at present as the market for shoe-box units in the heartlands was "untested", and he did not want to think he knew "better than developers or investors". Mr Khaw was responding to a question in Parliament by MP for Jurong GRC Ang Wei Neng, who asked if MND keeps track of the profiles of buyers of shoebox apartments. Mr Ang also asked MND to share how many buyers of shoebox apartments were HDB occupants, and if these buyers were staying in HDB flats larger than 50 square metres. In response, Mr Khaw said that MND did not yet have a good breakdown on the type of people that have invested in shoe-box units. "But eyeballing some of the data we have, it suggests they are mostly Singaporeans with HDB addresses," Mr Khaw added. "They obviously don't plan to stay there (in shoe-box units), because they won't be able to fit into 50 square metres with a family of several (people)." Mr Khaw said these buyers were likely to be investors who were parking their funds in shoe-box units, with the expectation of renting them out. "They must have seen shoe-box units in the central region being able to be tenanted out easily with reasonable yield," he added. "The difference this time round is that most of the units are in the heartlands -- where the market is untested." He likened the situation to a ferry, which may be overloaded under certain conditions. "It's like a ferry designed for a certain capacity," Mr Khaw said. "If a ferry is overloaded with too many passengers, especially if they're sailing in shallow waters, it may sink. "But because it's an untested water and untested market, it is hard for me to intervene in the market, thinking I may know better than developers or investors." "I think the minimum I can do is to alert everybody that I can see long queues going to board the ferry, and I think my job is to share that information as much as I can with the investing public, as well as the developers," Mr Khaw added. Currently, there are about 2,500 units of completed shoe-box units, making up 1.2 per cent of the 210,000 non-landed units in private housing stock. The supply of shoe-box units is expected to increase to 9,700 units by 2015. Mr Khaw also said the property market has shown signs that it's moving towards a more sustainable path, as he responded to questions on whether the government's various cooling measures have achieved their intended results. Mr Khaw reiterated that private home prices registered a marginal decline in the first quarter of this year (0.1 per cent fall quarter-on-quarter), following nine consecutive quarters of moderating price increases. He said the decline was due in part to the intervention, which includes five rounds of cooling measures over the past two years, the latest of which were introduced in December targeting foreign-investment demand. The impact of those moves could be seen in the sharp decline of the proportion of housing sub-sales -- a proxy indicator of speculative activity -- to about 4 per cent, while the proportion of foreign buyers of private homes also dropped "sharply" to 7 per cent, Mr Khaw said. But he didn't state the time frame or original quantums against which he made the comparisons. As for public housing market, most first-timers now have a chance to select a Build-To-Order flat if they apply for one. HDB resale prices have also moderated, increasing by 0.6 per cent in the first quarter of 2012, the smallest price growth in recent years. MP for Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, Liang Eng Hwa, asked Mr Khaw how the government plans to pace out the supplies of land sales. "The minister mentioned about some supplies coming in and so on to cool the market. I'd like to ask how the government plans to pace out the supplies of land sales so that while we meet immediate demand, we will not... in the next three to five years, have an oversupply situation, especially in the scenario when there could be an economic slowdown," asked Mr Liang. Mr Khaw replied: "The member's concern about potential oversupply if we are not careful is something I think we all ought to be mindful of, because cycles sometimes get a little bit too exuberant and then when they crash, they can create other kinds of problems. "That's why we continue to be very vigilant and monitor closely the situation. Clearly, the market is heading towards a soft landing but we have not landed yet. So, stay seated with your buckle on." - CNA/wm/fa
  17. Published on May 12, 2012 By Amanda Tan Member of Parliament Lee Bee Wah has invested in a small apartment in the east. The Nee Soon GRC MP bought a unit at upcoming condominium 91 Marshall for a sale price of $826,000. This was revealed in a Singapore Exchange filing by Tee International, in which she is an independent and non-executive director, on Wednesday. The filing said she was given a 2.4 per cent discount. Tee Homes, a wholly owned unit of Tee International, is developing the 30-unit freehold project in Katong. Based on the floor plans, Ms Lee's fourth-floor unit is a 570 sq ft two-bedder. This works out to a price of $1,449 per sq ft. Smaller apartments have become more popular in recent years, given the lower absolute price and a higher rent giving a better yield. The condo is near Dakota MRT station and has only one block offering units ranging from one-bedders to penthouses, which are on the fifth floor. The project is within walking distance of Tanjong Katong Primary School and is near places such as Parkway Parade and East Coast Park. Property agents said 91 Marshall, which is expected to be completed by 2016, is likely to be launched in the middle of this month. The show-flat is not ready yet. Ms Lee, being the interested person in this transaction, abstained from the audit committee's and board's review and approval process in respect of the proposed sale. The audit committee found that the number and terms of the proposed sale are 'fair and reasonable and are not prejudicial to the interests of the company and its minority shareholders'. The board was similarly satisfied. When contacted, Ms Lee declined to comment on the purchase

  19. From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Online...ory_769537.html Lemon law should cover DBSS flats Published on Feb 23, 2012 I AGREE with Madam Ong Chiew Hong ('Extend 'lemon law' protection to dream homes'; Monday). My husband and I were excited to receive the keys to our new Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) HDB flat in January last year. To our dismay, we discovered many defects such as scratches, dents and chipped-off fittings inside our home. Some of them took many months to be rectified, while others were irreparable. Just as we were about to move in, we discovered the parquet flooring in all the bedrooms stained with moisture. Despite a replacement, the problem persisted and we have not received a proper explanation by the developer about what went wrong. Furthermore, the paint on the walls of our flat flaked off easily because the surfaces had not been properly prepared before the painting began. So the developer took several more weeks to redo the painting. The process caused our home to become dusty and messy. Our neighbours also encountered many of these defects. Even though we highlighted the problems to the HDB on numerous occasions, we were told that it had no control over defect rectification as our flat was built by a private developer. It was clear to us that our flats did not meet standards before the keys were handed to us. From my understanding, many other DBSS flat owners have also encountered many defects. It has been more than a year since we received our keys and new defects have begun to surface: Moisture stains started to appear again on a part of our bedroom's parquet flooring, and the back coatings of our mirrors have started to wear off, despite the fact that we have yet to move in. What we have experienced is utterly disappointing. We were promised high-quality fittings - purportedly one of the main reasons why DBSS flats cost more than build-to-order ones. Quite the contrary, what we have been given are inferior furnishings. I hope the HDB will do a thorough investigation into the quality and standards of DBSS flats, instead of letting private developers dictate what should be done. Huang Kai Qin (Ms)

  24. Hi all, Currently, I'm using Shinco GM3510 (I think) which is using mapking and Malsingmap. It has faithfully served me for past 5 years and I have to finally 'decommission' it due to the lack of map update (last update was year 2009). Now, start to look around for a new GPS and wow, so many models around . I just have a few simple requirements: 1) Fast GPS satellites lock on (On average? 'Cos depends on satellites, but worst & rare case less than 30s) 2) Lifetime map update with latest SG & MY POIs 3) Correct routing for both SG and MY (I travel up north occasionally) 4) Search by Postal codes for SG 5) 3D Junction View (think it is a must when travelling up north as some of their filter lanes is like few hundred metres long) So far, I searched and found the following common models: - Garmin 2465 - Marbella M990+ - Papago R5800 Can any owner of the above models provide your review (based on the above listed requirement)? Or if you own other models, pls provide your review as well. Appreciate alot!!!
  25. Hi all, My ERP bracket came loose from the windscreen, not sure if its the heat from the sun. Any recommendation on they type of adhesive used to stick it back on? TIA.
