1. En bloc frenzy!!
Some old estates r going for record prices in an bloc sales lately netting the owners million n millions of payoff, even for leasehold land!!
What this mean is that the developers believe they can pay redevelopment charges n top up lease period to 99-yr n sell the new houses or flats at a higher price with good profit.
It is kudos to them for their boldness n maybe visionary foresight. At the same time, I hope the government REMEMBER this n deny any such developers from asking for help to extend any "completion obliged dates"!
As some men on the street said: if the government can create jobs or business opportunities for Sgp citizens to make enough money to afford such properties, not an issue. That is especially critical for the public housing mkt.
Congratulation to the "lucky" owners. Good luck to the developers n good luck to the future home buyers!!
2. Fake endorsements
So online scams of using famous people r conning many. Recent news abt Zoe Tay n Aileen Tan fr Sgp media n the famous billionaire Peter Lim been used as baits by the scammers.
Questions of why people would fall for such scams r plenty n some blamed the "stupidity" of the simpletons being conned. Yet, that is too easy to blame as no one is so rational as to discern: it is too good to be true n I should walk away! There is always this: hope! Hope that this time it will be different n I will become pretty or wealthy!!
Hopefully the wider reporting of such scams can help potential victims r made aware n become better able to protect themselves! If they still fall for such scams, we can only sigh n say: "That's life! What will be will be!" n hopefully that scam won't kill them!!
