Far from true...... its the banks in the US having the problems with a lot being bought slowly by the Singapore government through Temasek and also from the Middle East sovereign funds ;)

durain,

I wasn't far off that I'll tell you. a single small suitcase and a briefcase and a KMB Bandmask and that was it. Didn't even need a trolley and didn't have wheels on my suitcase either. :cool:

At least i had two wheels on my suitcase, back 14-yrs ago.......don't know how we ever survived without wheels.

But then, i landed in Hong Kong, not Singapore so obviously with the country being light years ahead i had much less trouble ;) :roll:

How is it Singapore banks only charge 2-3% on home loans???

Where I am from its over 12%.....I dont get it?

Can you borrow here and buy at home? Or you have to live here for the length of the loan??

:evil: Australian banks....
