About this Blog
"Just read in today Straits Times "Surge in layoffs expected" and numbers likely to jump beyond the peak suffered during the 1998 Asian financial crisis. About 30,000 jobs were lost then... This spells doom for Singapore private property market, most people will go for HDB be it for newly weds or down grading, it's a safer choice."
"Singapore has yet to feel the full force of the ongoing crisis but there are already signs that it would be ugly and long—drawn. Apart from sharp dips in export figures, job cuts have already hit the manufacturing, finance and banking sectors. "
"With unemployment expected to rise, Singaporeans are bracing themselves for more bad news on the job front... Be prepared for the worst don't commit to those overpriced condo."
"Agreed .....save for a rainy day buying HDB is a safer choice. "
"Agree .. PM just said this recession is going to be a fat-U recession ... it's haunting"
