Is your CPF enough for retirement? i like one caller said ... since the panel suggests that the onus lies on the cpf holder to manage their finances and be prudence in order to have enough money for retirement then return cpf money to us ... let us manage our own money .... no point to have cpf ... since cpf is not enough for retirement ... lolz anyway, i support cpf scheme which is a national scheme to "force" people to save up but the return generated in cpf is too low to offset the rise of cost of living and not to mention the OA is almost depleted for housing. final vote result -

My 10 year old car has a lot of scratches around the door handle area, probably caused by fingernails. I'm changing car this year so I was wondering how to avoid that again. Nowadays I heard there is a nano-coating treatment that forms a protective layer around the paint. Is that enough to protect against these kind of scratches, or still need to install the transparent laminate film?

In light of the post, of an FT claiming that our authorities are 'hindering' him to get hitched here becos he was earning about $1700 per month... Who says if you are earning $1800 to $2000 per month, you are financially able to get hitched here( at present living standard and inflationary rate )...with the fact that you have... 1) NO housing... 2) Parents to support...siblings too... 3) Kids coming along the way, with not much increase in your foreseeable salary structure?

Not likely to happen here anytime soon I guess... Any MDA MCFers here? Not enough Canadian porn on adult TV: regulator Published on Mar 07, 2014 3:14 AM OTTAWA (AFP) - Canada's broadcasting regulator wants to see more locally-made porn on Canadian television, judging by a notice on its website that accuses three channels of failing to meet licensing requirements. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) said three Toronto-based adult channels have failed to provide a minimum of 35 per cent Canadian content. The rules require a portion of programming to be at least partly written, produced or presented by persons in Canada, in order to bolster the local industry and showcase Canadian content. A hearing has been scheduled for April 28 to decide whether the broadcasting licenses of AOV Adult Movie Channel, XXX Action Clips and Maleflixxx should be renewed.

Enough is enough! Do you want to spend your life protecting your fame and possessions? Do you want to give your life away to the pursuit of wealth? Do those who have more, really have more? Or do they have less? They have to devote time and life to getting and protecting. Do they have time to let go, to see the truth? The natural way is to do only what is called for, by the present moment. Enough is enough is living simply.

SINGAPORE: National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan said he has asked the Housing and Development Board (HDB) to study the use of high-rise mechanised parking systems for older HDB estates. In his latest blog entry, Mr Khaw said former MP Ang Mong Seng has strongly recommended such systems after returning from a trip to China where he went to study the mechanised systems. Mr Khaw said the HDB has been tasked to evaluate the different technologies available, work through implementation issues such as waiting time for car retrieval, breakdowns and public acceptance. Mr Khaw said the problem of car park shortages was mostly felt in older HDB flats which were built under old car park provision norms. For example, for estates with four-room flats, 560 car park lots were planned per 1,000 flats. Mr Khaw said the equivalent norm now was 710 car park lots per 1,000 flats. He said with the new norms, new HDB flats will come with adequate car parks. But the problem was with older HDB estates. Of the 1,800 HDB car parks island-wide, about 220 faced what he termed "localised shortages". Mr Khaw said HDB is building more car parks wherever it can find land to do so. It has added 3,400 lots in the last two years and will add another 1,600 lots next year at a cost of S$66 million. Mr Khaw said Singapore has 900,000 HDB flats and 557,000 car park lots. -CNA/ac http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1173017/1/.html Since he knows the problem, can he ask the parking attendant to stop summon? even though i can get it waived off everytime, but still i need to send an email each time...

CNA reported : Some 1,800 arrested for drink-driving in H1 Posted: 15 August 2012 1820 hrs SINGAPORE: The number of people arrested for drink-driving in the first six months of this year has gone up. Some 1,800 drivers were arrested compared to about 1,700 arrested in the same period last year. In its latest clampdown on drink-driving early Wednesday morning, the Traffic Police arrested 19 motorists. The 17 male and two female drivers who failed the breathalyser test were between 23 and 69 years old. The three-hour anti-drink-driving operation was conducted at locations such as Balestier Road, Clemenceau Avenue, Sims Avenue and Outram Road. Motorists convicted of drink-driving will be disqualified from driving for at least 12 months. They will lose their driving licence and have to retake the theory and practical driving tests in order to obtain their driving licence again. In addition, first-time offenders can be fined between S$1,000 and S$5,000, or jailed up to six months. Repeat offenders may be punished with a maximum fine of S$30,000 and a mandatory jail term of up to three years. They may also receive up to six strokes of the cane if they should cause serious injury or death. - CNA/cc Look like the Law or Charges against Drink Driving are not deterent enough to prevent many from driving after drinking session... Instead of incidents going down with so many spot checkes by TP, it actually went up in 1st half of the year. Do away with the 1 year suspension of driving licence, make it 3 years ... .. This might deter them....

Wasted never invent one foldable bike... at 2.2k... maybe bikes have COE now also... http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BNews/...704-357117.html RELATED STORIES Are NParks' $2,200 bikes too costly? Mr Khaw wrote in a blog post on Wednesday that he had asked NParks for the rationale for the purchase. He said NParks cited staff productivity as the main reason for the purchase: "Providing staff with bikes was thought to be a simple and effective way to raise staff productivity as it enables the officer to cover more ground and do more inspections within the same time." NParks officers in the Park Connector Division cover between 30 to 40km in their daily rounds. Mr Khaw added that a foldable bicycle was chosen because such bicycles "would eliminate the need for an office van to transport the bikes and the staff to the areas of their daily rounds". The NParks staff would also be able to carry them onto buses and trains where necessary. He also said that Brompton was picked because only one vendor responded to the tender with a bid price lower than the listed retail price of the same bicycle. While a Brompton bike costs more than foldable bicycles with similar specifications, Mr Khaw said cyclists told him the bike was durable and would require less maintenance after heavy usage. He concluded: "It looks like NParks has bought the right equipment. However, it also looks like NParks might have gotten a better deal if there was greater participation in this quotation." According to the Lianhe Zaobao report where the NParks purchase was first reported, a police officer's bicycle costs about $1,000 while Singapore Post's postmen use bicycles which cost about $500.

Lives are lost, the MIW have spoken, help is given to Cabby's family from all walks of life, even Shanmugam promised assistance; Chinese embassy even issued a statement to remind its citizens of their conduct. You could say that Shanmugam is wayang and what's not. No matter what MIW do, there will always be cynics questioning their motives. But I don't think this is the main issue. I think the issue is whether are these xenophobia/anti-PRC bashing way overboard or justified? thanks to social media, especially Temasek Times and Temasek Review which paint a very negative impression that Singapore is anti-PRC. Are we Singaporeans really that xenophobic? Temasek Review is seeking for US$50,000 donations again. So are we going to donate to them to help propagate xenophobia? On retrospect, are all the PRC in Singapore you have encountered, pests? Hey, I think the McDonald counter staff, a PRC is polite and serves with a great smile!

What do you think of people who keep bring in the 60.1% argument whenever things go wrong or do not go the way they like it? Just a while ago, some acquaintance of mine blame the 60.1% for an incident where a Pinoy new citizen criticized a NSman. Of course, I don't approve of such actions, but isn't it a bit far fetched to blame the voters for this? In general, people who keep echoing this 'blame the 60.1%' mantra just come across as whiny, narrow minded individuals who can't look at the big picture and THINK first before they start blaming. You are blaming your fellow citizens, mind you. These could be your close family members and friends. And just because things do not turn out your way, you blame them for not sharing your political viewpoint and stand. First, these people should just look at the big picture and THINK first for the plight they are in. Surely, you might not like the incumbent for everything they say or do, but how can you be so sure things will be any better or even worse if your 60% became 30%? Second, THINK again. If by echoing the 60.1% thing, you think you appear to be heroic, hell no. It just reflects the depth of your thinking capability. Case in point, blaming the immigrant policy for rude new citizens is far fetched. You don't need a rocket scientist to tell you that there will still be such people around even if the policy was severely tightened and entry requirements made more stringent. Don't blame others for what is happening if you can't reason it and just want to point fingers to make yourself seem righteous. Rant over.

By the fact that the cost of living in SG here has shot up so rapidly, and looking ahead I must say that it will just go higher and higher. Some family incomes had marginally met Ends meet in the past are now facing great challenges. Costs of living are rising and yet I would say that incomes/salaries are not rising in pace with it IF they are rising at all. Lets find out what are the measures and considerations of people here in respect with the notion. It will be good to share positive good ideas on adjusting our financial predicament. (i.e. to save cost/spend less, to earn more get a freelance/part time job...etc. etc.) Getting the ball rolling. My current monthly income is enough to keep me going. I have a mixed incomes from Employment as well as self employment. However, thinking of growing incomes from both wings or either wing seems inevitable in order to plan for retirement. I am constantly looking into the 3rd Wing to my incomes thus. JJ_JJ
