Yewheng Twincharged June 30, 2016 Share June 30, 2016 (edited) Actually HK very cham, average housing price is 20X income. Should we aim to go their direction? I feel profoundly sad when local entrepreneurs fail, but more of lament the weird world we are living in rather than criticise our culture. So many kinds of shops have become extinct over the last decade. Just ask, when was the last time you bought a CD, VCD, blue ray? When did you (or any of your relatives) go to 77th Street to buy anything? Many things I love locally have closed down, including restaurants. We are nearly going to be in the same situation for property market as Hong kong. Lucky the cooling measures stopped it. Although the housing price still quite exepnsive as rate of dropping still haven't back to what it used to be affordable. Change surely have, but it's because of the cheap money that make people and bank reckless. So la, now they scared lao just because of this Brexit? In fact this is not even a commercial break. Brexit is nothing and it's actually good in a way, wait till we see bigger wave coming. Edited June 30, 2016 by Yewheng Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktglfc Hypersonic June 30, 2016 Share June 30, 2016 Isnt this worrying not knowing what the future is like, cant be turning every mall into food mall right Can't worry abt future now ... Now, more worried abt the increase in almost everything ... Garmen already started the ball rolling with Carpark charges and energy bill ... Next , we don't know what they are going to increase ... We are just like frog in a slow boiling pot ... can't jump out and slowly adapting till we die ... If everything increase, how to survive let alone do business? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Supercharged July 1, 2016 Share July 1, 2016 don't you feel sad when a local entrepreneur fails? even though the govt tries to make it easy for business starters, most people are contended in studying a degree and becoming a paid employee think this is the main difference between us and HK, where their people believe more in entrepreneurship and stock markets here many Singaporeans think entrepreneurship is risky and stocks are for gambling, and rather put all their money in properties its our bloody education system that makes us like this......... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabian Turbocharged July 1, 2016 Share July 1, 2016 u know the difference between HK and SG ppl? In HK, ppl do things first and ask "is it legal" later In SG, ppl ask "is it legal" first, before doing anything. In our SG mindset, how to be enterprising? I tell you, I never believe in any gov't crap about embracing entrepreneurship in SG, until our SG mindset is changed to HK's mindset. So long as we still have our old SG mindset, nothing enterprising ain't gonna to happen Like this? http://www.scmp.com/business/article/1945163/hong-kongs-real-estate-market-rigged-favour-property-tycoons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i were choose, maybe Taiwan is more balance environment for entrepreneurship . 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much crowds around those mall. It could be an almost $$$ losing investment other than possible capital appreciation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to move forward in the long term, we need to encourage it and also support local. While there seems to be more movement from the government to support SMEs and start-ups recently (i think they realise this has to be our foundation), i would like to see more. I'm actually mulling on the basics of some sort of Support Local movement that i hope on day i can present to the relevant government bodies. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
