SINGAPORE: With electricity prices and maintenance costs going up, at least two town councils, Aljunied and Jurong, will raise their Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) next month.

 

The hike will impact flats, shops, offices and market and hawker stalls.

 

For Singaporean households in Housing Board flats, the hike per month will range between 50 Singapore cents for a one

That's utter bullcrap again...if town councils have surplus annually to make investments, then why the hell are they increasing conservancy charges? To invest in the local property bubble?
