it's good to let the nation know the greatness of this man. however, behind all these, it belied a "grand motive" that is, to hint deeply into peoples' pschye that they should vote for PAP in the next coming GE which should be pretty soon in 2015.<br />
<br />
LEEKUANYEW is singapore but singapore may not be entirely PAP.<br />

<br />
the saddest part was his wife told my sister and my family who he was also very close to us after he was cremated and a week later after his funeral wake :(<br />
<br />
this year HUNGRY GHOSTS FESTIVAL MONTH, i folded 108 happiness cranes and offered it to eddie in a simple ULLAMBANA chanting at POH ERN SHIH TSE temple.<br />
<br />
every folded crane carried a wish and hope for a better rebirth of eddie or better still he could be in heaven.<br />

went to the polyclinic to get my medications and underwent blood routine test. it was very time wasting to go polyclinic. there were so many waiting time periods.
lst u get a queue # from dispenser. then wait for # to be called to register ur name. next u go to a room for the blood pressure and weight taking. u gotta take another Q # and wait. after that's done, u proceed to the lab for the blood test. again, wait for # to be called. after test done, wait again for result.
finally, with the result obtain, proceed to the area outside the numbered consultation. yes, and wait again.
my number was called at last. entered the consultation room. instead of the dr who used to attend to me in the past, they allocated a missy nurse. usually with the dr, it took less than 5 minutes. now with a missy, it took more than 20 mins. gosh! it was quite intimidating. she recorded every words u whined to her.
after she had asked enough, she asked me to wait, went to the adjoining room where my regular dr was to ask him to issue the medicine prescription. with that, i exited the room, went to the pharmacy section, deposited the prescription....AND WAIT again.
my name was called this time to collect the medicine. u were to suppose to wait for the final time to make payment. luckily, i could skip that as automated payment machines were installed there where i made payment through NETS.
a receipt was printed out. here's the very puzzling part about the consultation fee.
Full Amount: $35.05
Payable Amount: $10.20 (which means subsidized rate)
here's the question:
1. why so bloody expensive if were to pay "full amount"? my GP usually charged everything - consultation & medication - usually about $25 only.
2. Subsidized rate $10.20 is consultation by a MEDICAL DOCTOR. if attended by a SRN missy, shouldn't it be cheaper according?
and hell!! the whole process from registration to drugs dispensal to payment took more 2.5hrs. most of time was wasted for waiting :(leetahsarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13455045338484770160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884632190183845293.post-7852835716776158462012-06-25T02:32:00.002-07:002012-06-25T02:38:31.956-07:00many are shocked to learn about eddie's pass on :(Hi Everyone,<br /><br /><br />I don't know if all of you have already received this sad news from Bob or not?

ED being the prefix EDdie and POL being POLly from his wife. it looked like he loved polly very much. then things gradually began to change. it could the tiredness of living with the same person together for so long that each took each for granted. basic self-respect could have been lost along the way and petty resentments continued to accumulate. such was the mundane behaviour of human :(<br /><br />my youngest sis who was fresh from school then worked for him as a "pow ka liao" assistant. my sis might be puny but she got a shrewdness for running a business. eddie appreciated her assistance and treated her very well. hmmm, i think she was very lucky to be pampered by eddie who was a generous boss with a big heart. <br /><br />then my other sis helped him to do sales on a part-time basis. finally my another sis who's a year younger than me also began working for him fulltime after my father lost his business premises which was ungraciously conned by the church who was a mean and dishonest landlord for more than 30 yrs. it was hard to imagine a church could behave like that:((<br /><br />even my niece CHARLENE joined EDPOL working part-time in sales. she was devastated to learn about sudden departure of eddie. she is now in taiwan working for a international film company. she wrote in my FACEBOOK after seeing eddie's pics that "i made her very sad...." my dear charlene, ur ah ku is even sadder to have lost a life-long best friend. <br /><br />his business wasn't very good. that was when i came into the picture again. initially i was helping to help delivering his pc sets and SITOCA tables to his customers by providing transport with my SUZUKI mini pickup. his brother-in-law chee seng would go together with me to fix up the pc n computer table. he paid me quite reasonable at $25 per pc set and $15 per table delivered.<br /><br />Later business wasn't really as good as it used to be. oh well, might as well, i began to teach him to do share trading and try to make some "easÿ fast" money. eddie chiong being a very resourceful person learned very fast. interent at that time wasn't really so hot yet. it was a dial-up connection. the share market was quoted but in a LIVE PRICES format yet.<br /><br />we pinpointed one special counter CREATIVE which was also listed in NASDAQ as CREAF. it was this counter that brought in the fortune for eddie chiong who was a bold investor or speculator. he borrowed from a couple of banks just to trade in one counter CREAF.<br /><br />he made his millions. everyone around him benefited especially in food. he brought us to buffet; to very expensive meals. one most memorable was regular dining in RAMA THAI which was famous for whole sharkfin and braised abalone in claypot. <br /><br />eddie and i would patronise the restaurant at tg pagar. it was our very first time devouring a whole big sharkfin with a fat whole abalone! my god! it cost each about $200 ++ for a claypot of double combination. it was our first time using fork n knife to eat a whole big yummy abalone on top of a bigger piece of sharkfin cooked in a rich very shiok broth served with towgay.<br /><br />then he made even more "easy" money from other CLOB counters. off we went for more sharkfin/abalone claypot, buffets and all sort of expensive dinings. there was once for a certain CLOB counter he made a cool 5-figures by contra trade and he treated everyone in his company to RAMA THAI. everyone got their sharkfin/abalone claypot individually. the bill was astronomical with the service charges coming to about a cool few hundreds. who care! was his attitude. he got the easy dole to pay for all.<br /><br />that was how generous eddie chiong was. it wasn't just the food, there were other indulgences like expensive karaokes which were very frequent a few times a week. then there were the movies which he would pay the tickets for everyone.<br /><br />those was the happiest time. it didn't last. soon there were the horrendous CLOB SAGA and many share investors - we included - were badly hit. it went on for so many years. our bloody gov was helpless and gave many false hope. in the end, everyone who traded in CLOB SHARES was badly CLOBbered.<br /><br />i lost almost all my savings :'( eddie chiong was worst. he borrowed from the bank. he over indulged in too many expensive investment like buying a mercz, buying a warehouse and implanting a 5-figure real hair strands into his light-bulb head. incidentally, when everything went downhill, his implanted hair shedded too and he was back to his light-bulb scalp.<br /><br />when he was rich, he used to teased me "see, now i got more money than you...." well, i had to retort wickedly back: "chey! at least i still have more hairs than u! " and we would both burst out laughing in good joker faith.<br /><br />very soon, his attitude changed for the worst. he seemed to be angry with everyone and everything. me included. most of his friends deserted him. though i was concerned with him, i too kept my distance lest i got the very sarcastic and unkind remarks from him.<br /><br />he was still engrossed in his share speculation. i regretted. i wasn't sure whether i had helped him or it could be the ruin in waiting :( when he was making million$, we were like discussing and planning for new businesses. i did remind him to pull out of shares and concentrate on his business since now he had all the money he needed.<br /><br />it was really too tempting to stop. making money seemed terribly easy that time....and so the wheel of fortune turned against us. it was then all downhill.<br /><br />finally he lost his shop, his warehouse, his mercz, his van....and finally even his implanted hairs. worst of all, he lost most of his friends who he was quite arrogant with them and offended many.<br /><br />i understood eddie. i m still his best friend. i feel his torment and his anger. i was saddened when my sister told me that a shop which he was subletting refused to rent him cos he couldn't pay the rent.<br /><br />i dunno....poor as i might be now, i decided to give him $300. it was a $250 lottery which i striked. in order to "cheapen" myself to compel him to accept money, i conjured up a lame story. the one which he paid me $300 to buy back the pc he sold me which was quite faulty. i told i spoiled the pc and was feeling bad that he gave me the money. so i "refunded" him the money and plead with him to accept. i hugged him and patted on his back and told him....I M ALWAYS YOUR FRIEND NO MATTER WHAT.<br /><br />he accepted the money. in a way, i resolved whatever anger or misunderstand or resentment. it was a very pleasant feeling and i didn't mind being humbled. to be frank, there wasn't such negative feeling in me. it was just happiness i could offer to my pal.<br /><br />during our last meeting, i sms-ed eddie. to everyone's surprises, eddie appeared! sadly, that was going to be our last fellowship with eddie on 12-02-2012. even the date appeared quite unique.<br /><br />on 4 June 2012, eddie chiong suddenly had a heart attack and died. what pissing me now is : why didn't his wife POLLY inform me or my sis? i got news of his demise on 19 JUNE. it was when my sis sms-ed him to ask him to come help her pc. late evening, then polly responded and broke the news about eddie's death. why is it like that??<br />we didn't given the chance to have a final sendoff for dear eddie. that made me very angry and sadder :'(<br /><br />now polly told my sis that she is looking for an altar in crematorium to permanently put eddie's ash to final resting and she would inform us. it's 1 week already....and there isn't any news yet. :(<br /><br />i just couldn't understand this. really! eddie had told me before his death that he was already separated from polly and in about 3 yrs time, they would be officially divorced. they were childless which would make the divorce less messy.<br /><br />why then did polly not informing us? hatred blinded for revenge or getting even with eddie? i never shall know cos my sisters were reminding me NOT TO ASK and let it be.<br /><br />so to eddie chiong my dear dear best friend, i hope u rest in peace and if ever there were to be a nextlife, i shall be your BEST FRIEND FOREVER! i shall miss u dearly my dear eddie chiong.leetahsarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13455045338484770160noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884632190183845293.post-41655503871462492552012-06-02T22:26:00.002-07:002012-06-02T22:46:43.526-07:00all my ah kim wants is to be with ah ku...my cancer striken ah kim<br /><br />many years back, my ah ku who was what i used to address since young and who was my mum's elder brother passed away from stomach cancer. his surviving wife who i call ah kim is now also down with the same cancer :(<br /><br />ah kim stays just opposite block to me. living with her now is my cousin ah siong who is the youngest among his siblings and an indo maid. <br /><br />my cousin ah siong is a remarkable person. he gives up his well paying job as an engineer to be a driver with a mega-church where another cousin is working there as a fulltime pastor.<br /><br />of course, siong is baptised christian and most of his siblings and their children are also baptised christians.<br /><br />sadly, ah kim who's now about 87 yo is down with stomach cancer. everyone is worried for her. she is on regular medication and chemo. my elder cousin, the only girl among all her boys siblings brings ah kim for regular TCM session.<br /><br />chemo is a terrible process where anti-cancerous drug is injected into the body and kills many cell be it cancerous or normal body beneficial cells. hence, such treatment tends to weaken the body drastically.<br /><br />ah choon's concern for her mum is understandable. the TCM sessions aren't cheap. it costs alot - a couple of hundreds per consultation. the chinese herbs are suppose to enhance the chemo treatment and at the same time strengthen the body to be able to handle from distress.<br /><br />ah siong wants ah kim to accept Christ. that's good. but that's also bad :(<br /><br />last week i was with his elder brother peter who's also christian and so is his whole family. he's from methodist church and it was he who brought me to conduct gardening in his church.<br /><br />we chatted about his dead father. i learnt from him that while ah ku was in coma, some of his church members went to the hopsital to pray for him. to their astonishment, they witnessed ah ku feebly raised his both his hands as though in a gesture of "accepting Christ".<br /><br />cousin peter said as long as the person within his heart who has accepted Christ shall eternally be with Him. however, ah ku finally passed on. a funeral wake was held but it was a buddhist rite.....<br /><br />fast forward to the present....<br /><br />now ah kim is also buying time. members from ah siong's church alo come to pray for her. each time they pray, ah kim would get emotional and cry. this drama is rather very sensitive. it could be misunderstaken by ah siong who's thinking that she might be moved to tears.<br /><br />actually ah kim would exclaim , "mai ko kong la...mai ko kong la!" in hokkien which means "say no more...say no more!"<br /><br />it's very sad that ah kim who is unwell should be put in such distress. do the praying christians really understand what's going in her mind?<br /><br />well, maybe i do. i had explained to cousin peter. he seemed amazed as my thoughtfulness. he even wanted me to explain to his mum, my ah kim. i told him it would be best he do it himself as this could get very emotional and tedious.<br /><br />i told peter that perhaps ah kim wasn't aware that ah ku could ve accepted Christ and who could be probbly in heaven now. ah kim has been since young a buddhist or taoist...anything but christian. we are traditionally chinese and we have our own tradition "chinese" religions which are either taoism or buddhism.<br /><br />the fact that ah ku's funeral wake was a buddhist one affirmed that ah ku died a "buddhist" even though peter and his church members witnessed ah ku's hands rising to "accept Christ" phenomenon. that they saw but not ah kim and peter had never related the incident to his mum.<br /><br />what i feel is my ah kim loves my ah ku very much and very deeply. she knows she approaching the end of time and she would definitely wish to be with husband after her passing. in life, they love; in death, they are eternally bonded together.<br /><br />the unxplained fear now in ah kim is she knows what ah siong wants to do, i.e, to get her baptised as christian so that the whole family could be as one in Christ. what cousin siong isn't mindful or aware about is the inner feeling of his mother that she wants to be with her husband after she dies in spirit. so if ah ku was a buddhist and she being baptised into christian, they would be forever separated.<br /><br />it could be just a myth. but hey! nobody knows cos no one has died, comes back and revealed the "real thing" of after-death.<br /><br />maybe it would help to convince ah kim about what peter witnessed about his comatose father...about his "acceptance of christ". maybe that would alleviate her innermost fear and anxiety and probably she would be more accepting to oblige.<br /><br />in my honest and sincere respect, i feel that my cousins shouldn't be exploiting to convert her mum at this last precious moments of her life. they should in fact bestow her with COURAGE to face death. whatever that happens beyond is still a mystery. each religions has their own unique explanation but none can really confirm the afterlife thingy. whether u go heaven, go hell, get reincarnated or just dissipated into thin air.....no one reallys know.<br /><br />so before getting into the next plane or realm, it would be better we treasure the present. if the people is at the brink of his life, he should be as far as possible be bestow with the COURAGE to face the unknown in the next phase.<br /><br />in my humble buddhist knowledge:<br /><br />emptiness is form; form is emptiness.....<br /><br />we think about so many things, i.e, create so many forms from emptiness that in the end, it's all returned into emptiness.....<br /><br />sadhu...sadhu...<br /><br />if we need to go, we go. no attachment. no fear. relax, be at peace...just go with tranquility.leetahsarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13455045338484770160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884632190183845293.post-89753937424442182942012-02-01T21:12:00.000-08:002012-12-06T22:44:56.554-08:00CLASS OF T 4A (1975)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpSu3efsF007ZZriPuRJJBnbhlT9kTU0WusetxOE25kViSbFZGKX430EsETRowb19L86P0MRxkE_BbJ_xnw8NjUBk89vL7KyfhhmOaJsVIsM3njszOrdHXT_R6hJnjssJPoCkbI_KEOxQ/s1600/TANGLIN-T4A-1975.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704410427751449538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpSu3efsF007ZZriPuRJJBnbhlT9kTU0WusetxOE25kViSbFZGKX430EsETRowb19L86P0MRxkE_BbJ_xnw8NjUBk89vL7KyfhhmOaJsVIsM3njszOrdHXT_R6hJnjssJPoCkbI_KEOxQ/s400/TANGLIN-T4A-1975.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 115px; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
TANGLIN TECHNICAL SCHOOL, T4A, 1975<br />
<br />
<br />
wow! it's unbelievable! seems like yesterday we were still a bunch of fresh teenagers studying hard for the GCE 'Ó' level exam. almost 37 yrs have flown by and now most of us were in our 50s.<br />
<br />
we wouldn't have met again if not for the yearly visit by an emigrated girl classmate, Judy. many years ago, she went to work in oz, met a cute angmo driving instructor, married him and bore him a cuter son, Michael who was now a teenager like what we used to be preparing for GCE.<br />
<br />
the cycle of life repeats....<br />
<br />
so judy was back again. this should be the 3rd or 5th meet up we had so far. it was customary we held our meeting at HAN'S located at bt merah. it was perfect cos it wasn't crowded most of the time. in fact, every time we met there, it seemed that we were the only crowd there. (got a strange feeling that bt merah HAN'S may close soon. bo sen li.)<br />
<br />
we chatted about the good o'days and tried as much as our deteriorating memories could even recall our "original" names. Judy wasn't called judy last time. she was known as her chinese name tham swit chan.<br />
<br />
the faces still remained familiar though and some - ahem, like yours truly - still looked about the same. the hairs were still intact except for extra load of fats. some looked haggard and whitening hair or receding hairline or worst, both.<br />
<br />
there were quite a few of us who remained singles. ya, ya...we should now be the lauhanku or the laukuaybu or nicely put it, upgraded status of uncles and aunties. :p<br />
<br />
we chatted. we laughed. we updated ourselves our current situation. some were good, some were blessed. some were truly happy, some just put up a show and some seemed quietly distressed. :(<br />
<br />
well, that's life....<br />
<br />
one bright spark among us who was IT savvy decided to create a website just for our class and called it http://www.tanglintecht4a75.com. it was already started and actively on now a day after the meeting. fast worker, isn't he!<br />
<br />
one thing for sure, many of my classmates were badly hit by the current bad economy. ex-high flyers were now resigned lowly paid employees doing things that would never have anticipated when he was high-flying. worst of all, he still got a family to support - tertiary going kids and etc...<br />
<br />
then there were the fallen go-getters who once were proud businessmen whose deals gone bad and fallen from grace. it was a painful setback. but like i mentioned they were courageous and resilient. much humbler by their ordeals, perhaps they had become more humane and mindful.<br />
<br />
as for me, well, i remain the happy-go-lucky blurcock. the important in life is not to own more and crave for more. the best thing to want is actually NOTHING. if u want nothing, then there would be lesser load to bear u down, stress u out and worry the hell out of u non-stop.<br />
<br />
a friend actually asked me what birthday present that i want. yep, my next birthday is around the corner. without hesitation, i told him i want nothing...and thank you.<br />
<br />
according to my just as joker sifu, quote: birthday means you are one year closer to the coffin. there's <em>nothing</em> much to be happy about. - unquote.<br />
<br />
hmm.....so it's unhappy birthday and not happy birthday?<br />
<br />
whatever it is, just live for the day, be happy, crave for nothing, ask for nothing and most things should just be fine....and happy.<br />

(forget about being a buddha first. just follow the DO GOOD part and the rest shall fall nicely and rightly in place.)<br /><br />a simple praying is now like being exaggerated to "patterns more than badminton" like a full postrating - all the way down to the belly. it goes like this: clasp hands, bow, kneel, bow with outstretched hand (there's a unique pattern even to that) and stretch straight on the stomach and form a figure 1 (this last stance very prominent in tibetan buddhism), then up and repeat 3 times.<br /><br />here's the catch: i ve a terrible chronic backache, doing that is quite awkard. then what about the aged, the sicked and the handicapped?<br /><br />to me, those are really exaggeration. another holier than thou public expression. i might be quite skeptical but i always believe BUDDHA IS WITHIN US and GOD IS ALSO WITHIN US. it's a intimate relation between i and buddha or god. there's no need to public express it to show that "i m holier than thou" which usually more aptly become unholier and hypocritical.<br /><br />sadhu, sadhu....<br /><br />emptiness is form; form is emptiness...<br /><br />you see it holy; it could be seen unholy.leetahsarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13455045338484770160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884632190183845293.post-82549209026464427292011-09-26T20:49:00.000-07:002011-09-26T20:51:07.362-07:00Minority owners say NUS should not follow majority in en bloc sale - Channel NewsAsia<a href="http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporebusinessnews/view/318684/1/.html#.ToFHj4UMIaU.blogger">Minority owners say NUS should not follow majority in en bloc sale - Channel NewsAsia</a><br /><br /> Singapore News <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Minority owners say NUS should not follow majority in en bloc sale<br />By Loh Chee Kong, TODAY | Posted: 22 December 2007 0928 hrs <br /><br /> <br /> Photos 1 of 1 <br /><br />Gillman Heights <br /> <br /> <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br />1 <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />SINGAPORE: It has remained silent — and passive — in the protracted saga over the proposed sale of Gillman Heights to developer CapitaLand for $528 million. <br /><br />But now, the National University of Singapore (NUS) finds fingers pointing at it after the Strata Titles Board (STB) approved the deal on Friday. <br /><br />The biggest faction opposed to the deal, comprising 53 of the 76 minority owners, told TODAY they would appeal against the STB's decision, and chief among their grouses is the NUS' role in the en bloc process. <br /><br />The university owns almost half of the estate's 608 units, which it rents out to its academic staff. <br /><br />Said one minority owner: "We are very unhappy and very disappointed with the result. NUS was pressurised by the majority owners to agree to the en bloc sale."<br /><br />In its grounds of decision, the STB said that it was "very mindful" that the NUS was the single majority owner.<br /><br />Throughout the sale, the NUS stuck to its original position that it would not take part in the proceedings other than agreeing to abide by the majority decision of the remaining owners, the STB noted. It also ruled that the majority owners had "acted properly" in dealing with the NUS. <br /><br />However, even after the ruling, some of the minority owners insisted that the NUS should not have followed the decision to sell, based on a simple majority. Instead, it should only do so when at least 80 per cent of the remaining owners agreed to the sale, they argued.<br /><br />Today understands that the NUS signed the Collective Sale Agreement in June last year, after some 70 per cent of the remaining owners did so.<br /><br />The university could not be reached for comment at press time. <br /><br />But Lee & Lee senior partner Quek Mong Hua, who represented the majority owners, said: "There's no reason why NUS should not support the en bloc sale when a big majority of the other owners want the deal."<br /><br />The STB also had strong words for one of the valuation reports — prepared by a former chief valuer for Overseas Union Bank, <strong>Mr Yick Keng Hang</strong> — put up by the minority owners. The report revised the value of Gillman Heights from $580 million to $660 million within seven months. <br /><br />The board, which rejected Mr Yick's evidence, said in its ruling: "Yick had shown himself to be given to hyperbole. A review of his evidence would show that he was shifty and self-serving whenever it suited him." <br /><br />Launched in February last year, the en bloc sale process — which eventually garnered 86.7-per-cent consent — has been dogged by several controversies, including a dispute over the level of consent needed for the sale to go through. <br /><br />Barring any appeal, the sale committee has three months to complete the deal. <br /><br />Sale committee chairman Robert Wiener was "relieved" at the decision. <br /><br />But he added: "Obviously, we would be happier if we could get our money earlier, what with property prices going through the roof."leetahsarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13455045338484770160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884632190183845293.post-85325897480171540902011-07-19T21:26:00.000-07:002011-07-19T22:00:09.226-07:00maybe this would stablise hdb crazy pricesmost singaporeans are asset rich but cash poor. why? our cpfs which are meant to fend for retirement and twiligiht years were craftily zapped up by ridiculously high priced hdb pigeonholes. talking about gov subsidised flats....what a big joke and a big con job!<br /><br />why does gov clueless to bring down prices? they can if they want and they don't if they want too. let's talk about the don'ts.<br /><br />hdb prices are like a pandora box. once opened, it's very difficult to close and hdb prices go haywire to absolute craze and frenziness. those who ve bought greed for it to go higher; those who haven't pray for it to drop or at least stablise and halt at the last price.<br /><br />so there u have it: the gov is CLUELESS to resolve the problem which it didn't nip in the beginning. if they stop the prices from rising, new owners of exorbitant pigeonholes shall definitely be unhappy and they shall make lots of noise. conversely, leaving the prices to run wild (or is it the gov behind fanning the madness?), those who haven't owned a pigeonhole - the new generation planning for a new family of their own - are put into a dilemma.<br /><br />then what happen to all our cpfs? are the life savings still there when twilight years are reached? NO! absolutely not!! what's there is an overpriced "subsidised" gov pigeonhole which price is getting higher but size is getting smaller.<br /><br />million dollars paid minister seems clueless. well, perhaps my suggestion may come in handy.<br /><br />step 1. STOP THE SPECULATION.<br /><br />once a family bought a flat and after staying some years decide to <br />sell, the only buyer would be buying back is the gov. then the gov resells it adding a nominal processing and legal fees. no obscene profits involved, hence no more speculation and easy money made. of course, such would only be restricted to purely singaporeans. no PRs'entitlements to such non-profitable transaction.<br /><br />HOW TO RETRIEVE OUR CPF<br /><br />most of our cpf money would still be tied down by the pigeonhole. here's a simple solution.<br /><br />gov should build smaller and cheaper flats for home owners to consider when they age. example: if mr A now at 36yo sets up family with 2 kids and 20 or 30 yrs later, his kids would ve grown, married and resettled in newly hdbs or remain single or most probably mr A would be left living with his wife. if he is living in a 5 or 4 rooms flats, by then, the flat would be too excessive to him. he could consider an exchange program with hdb. he sells his flats to hdb, get back the money he used from cpfs and buy a smaller "senior-folk-flats" from hdb. SFF unit would be smaller and much cheaper with shorter lease of say, 30yrs. hdb deducts the amount from the sale price, refund mr A who would then be financially independent with the cpf money to live on.<br /><br />in the event of both couple passed on, the SFF should be resold to HDB to be recycled to the next qualified senior folks. the money derived from SFF should then be refund to the children of the demised mr A.<br /><br />this could probably also solve the greying problem of singapore and put a full stop to crazy hdb flats speculation. of course, the finer details, the minister would ve to work it out. he's the one getting the million $ pay, not me. and yes, if it's a good workable plan, he should reward me with some honararium. :)<br /><br />this principle of the plan is 4 folds:<br /><br />1. stop speculation<br />2. free up oversize flat that later is irrelevant to the number of occupants especially aged owners who children would ve by then left the roost.<br />3.provide a suitable sized hdb flats with shorter lease to the aged owners and free up the money tied by his original bigger flats. he now has a roof over him and money to see him through his twilight years.<br />4. refund what money accrued from Senior-folks-flats (SFF) back to demised owner's family or children.<br /><br />with that hdb would have successfully done its part instead of turning subsidised gov flats into a greed instrument causing so much undue stress and anxiety to all singaoreans.leetahsarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13455045338484770160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884632190183845293.post-34608982173945757292011-07-12T07:09:00.000-07:002011-07-12T07:12:50.833-07:00cheaper to eat at restaurants than in hawker centresALL HAWKER PRICES ARE UP!!<br /><br />better eat in restaurants now. they are cheaper cos prices are down. surprise, surprise!!<br /><br />for example, ah yat is giving 50% discount on ALL dimsums, mon to sat. during sundays and public holidays, it's 40% discount. same goes for all their ala carte live seafood. <br /><br />for example their char siew paos, 3 in a basket originally cost $3.80. after 50% discount, it was only less than $2! which means each pao is about less than 80c. cheaper or more expensive than hawker centres?? most of their dimsums were about this range.<br /><br />last week was at ah yat's turf city. something very illogical happened. till now i still don't get the mathematical equation.<br /><br />one live tien lor or the jap water snail costs $2.30 ea i.e, after discount. but if u order their special dishes during that day, a bowl of 10 tien lors cooked in soupy ginger and spring onions cost only $4.80. by algebra, it should be like $23! but it only cost $4.80!! <br /><br />this is what i mean restaurant foods are getting cheaper but hawker foods are getting more expensive. what's the logic here? i also dunno.<br /><br />i remember eating sri lankan crab not long ago at a hawker centre and was billed like $40. at ah yat's , they chose the live crab, show it to u and if u were satisfised cooked it to the flavor u want. i was recommended the cheesy pumpking crab. yummy!! it was delicious especailly the gravy. the crab was loaded with roes some more which was an added bonus. we ordered fried man tou to dip in the gravy and really cleaned up every shiok drop!<br /><br />when the bill came, the cost of the cheesy pumpkin crab was only $19.80!! can u believe this price?? we only ordered one cos we were expecting the price might be about $60 but it was lesser than $20. my god!!<br /><br />it was a value for money worth meal that i was just to glad to foot. of course there were other speciality we ordered like the alaskan long legged crap. simply yummy!! though a bit expensive $169, it was well -worth it!! then there was the peking duck, the braised abalone and etc....all well worth it!!<br /><br />so what's wrong here? hawker prices are supposed to be very affordable and reasonable but after u order the food, u don't feel that it's value for money. serving shrinks, quality drops and the bloody prices escalated from $2 to $2.50 or even $3 or higher which is about at least 25% increase.<br /><br />now our public transport. u wait for the bus, it like it's never going to cum. u enter a mrt cabin, it's like a stuff heat sardine can....and the bloody gov is definitely going to approve the fares increase.<br /><br />rear ass lui who wayang in taking public transport, what would he do? cook up some bombastic reasoning with even more bombastic figures to endorse such increase. he's like voted in by the SMRT OR SBS but not the voters.<br /><br />so u ask: what the hell are the mps and minitoots idiotic sgporeans voted in for?? for us or for the profiteering public listed companies with their obscene profits??leetahsarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13455045338484770160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884632190183845293.post-20552102034616616062011-06-24T20:55:00.000-07:002011-06-24T20:55:19.257-07:00the mrbrown show: the race for president<a href="http://www.mrbrownshow.com/category/topics/matters-of-national-importance/">the mrbrown show: the race for president</a><br /><br />there are 4 TANS running for PRESIDENT ELECTION. they are:<br /><br />1.

a big glowing sunflower that seemed to be radiating golden light!! everyone in the family was so happy just looking at happy SUNNYBOY.<br /><br />again, like what uncle leetahsar told my boy: "observe the sunflower....it follows the sunlight and that's why it's called SUNFLOWER...." and boy!! my boy really paid lots of attention to it on the dot at every hour. <br /><br />he was entralled and mesmerised with SUNNYBOY. it really did follow the light - from east to west glowing ever so happily and bright.<br /><br />it was almost 2 weeks since SUNNYBOY bloomed. it attracted many kinds of friendly bees. i was amazed at the kinds of colorful bees but according to my li'l brother LTS, he said those were hoverflies. the black ones were the stingless small bees and the striped ones were the dunno-what-he-said bees.<br /><br />very soon, the petals of SUNNYBOY began to shed. the big round petaless flower pad was droopy. and oh my god!!! we had rare visitors - a pair of small wild greenish paratkees which came to feed the sunflower seeds which were abundantly formed.<br /><br />this time, my son was thrilled again and hid behind the curtain to steal some photoshot with his IPHONE at the pair of paratkees busily nibbling the sunflower seeds......<br /><br />it was really priceless. a simple sunflower seed could bring so much joy to an innocent boy and to all those who had seen how glowingly happy SUNNYBOY displayed its glamour.<br /><br />that my friends is the simple happiness and the priceless satisfaction derived from it.leetahsarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13455045338484770160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884632190183845293.post-51584704509851958652011-05-11T22:46:00.000-07:002011-05-13T13:34:10.264-07:00cute purple sexmobile for SALE<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGcF7r8_TVk9FETjT1FBq_MFMEImDOVsoXZ-mEz663WlAhSuGwkWNHoeQvlhZyVTZLRF2JGozPhCDad0gO4wkWfnEqEuG79hU1oLoQYF3kIfgwcxPqUjK6_8lgg4AgLTOpgqDe8dhLLk4/s1600/sexmobile.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGcF7r8_TVk9FETjT1FBq_MFMEImDOVsoXZ-mEz663WlAhSuGwkWNHoeQvlhZyVTZLRF2JGozPhCDad0gO4wkWfnEqEuG79hU1oLoQYF3kIfgwcxPqUjK6_8lgg4AgLTOpgqDe8dhLLk4/s400/sexmobile.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605701094349700418" /></a><br />the sweet purple sexmobile<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKFlinD9fXU6RwEuvqjUooM2bOdQPdJW8ptfuQUaazUYRfjtSpyCug2uLcna0bN43o97Se4QTMl9ZJVqsDHUxa3z9HPhC-RhMNwuXCny71A_V7OtMp7cwKDslH4D-tPfK5ve1WX30aF-8/s1600/sexmobile1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKFlinD9fXU6RwEuvqjUooM2bOdQPdJW8ptfuQUaazUYRfjtSpyCug2uLcna0bN43o97Se4QTMl9ZJVqsDHUxa3z9HPhC-RhMNwuXCny71A_V7OtMp7cwKDslH4D-tPfK5ve1WX30aF-8/s400/sexmobile1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605701089930024594" /></a><br />her clean beige innards<br /><br /><br /><strong> if leetahsar aided gohmengseng with his purple sexmobile... </strong>this <br /><br />multi-functional purple sexy cute beauty is left with 3 mths lifeline. after that the gahmen would brutally rape, kill and scrap it. it's now being held ransom by gahmen for the price of $30k +. if i couldn't cough out that ransom money, they would butcher my poor sexy pie into a lump of waste iron.<br /><br />would wanna adopt it for $25,600 cash?<br /><br />her interiors:<br /><br />solid sensurround and stereo sound system. play music machiam u were there in the concert LIVE!<br />matching beige cushion 7 seaters<br />crystal-liked hugh handle steering ROD<br />when reversing, she would yelp in hokkien<br />innards are multi-voiced effect. one of which is radiokar noises: pee por pee por...mata chia lai liao...pee por ...pee por.<br />if u stuck in behind roadhog, fear not. built-in special effect speaker allows u to shout expletives to the roadhog to give way.<br />all back seats could be reclined, withdrawn and turned into instant lovebed. hence, the name SEXMOBILE <br />complete with curtains for greatest privavy when humping begins. great suspension. no squeaking. only groaning, moaning and maybe suddenly yelping: YES...YES...OH GOD...YES!!<br /><br />good huh? save u lots of money checking into expensive hotel. just think of the instant convenience when the horny bug strikes u!<br /><br />so make an offer quick!<br /><br />fixed price: $25,600. lst cum, lst served!<br /><br />also available for rental on special occasion. negotiable price depending of activity or "activity".leetahsarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13455045338484770160noreply@blogger.com0
