Residential units with reputation tarnished. Auction-sales method which has no option exercise grace period. Might require full cash, depending on readiness of mortgage banker. Might require extensive renovations given that they were not used in the last 3 years (I doubt the Sheriff’s Office does monthly cleaning and maintenance inside the units). Yet priced above $3000psf. And bids did not clear reserve price. Who set the reserve price? On what basis: market comparables only? Did Sheriff’s Office heap on a large dose of optimism on top of Chief Valuer’s valuation to set the reserve price? Is this a waste of taxpayers time and money or is this trying to recover the maximum for state coffers? Or is this a reflection of the poor residential market? https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/billion-money-laundering-luxury-properties-auction-knight-frank-6387506CNANo units sold at first auction for luxury properties seized in S$3 billion money laundering caseThe auction drew dozens of bidders, but there was no interest in some of the luxury units.Ku Swee Yong Real Estate

These have been listed for sale, and for rent, for over half a year. I am sure the owner knows why they are not sold yet… serious investors know better that 10 year SGD bonds beat returns and management headaches as compared to these. https://www.edgeprop.sg/property-news/pair-ground-floor-shops-lucky-plaza-sale-114-milwww.edgeprop.sgPair of ground-floor shops at Lucky Plaza for sale at $11.5 milThe freehold shops are adjoining units with a combined strata area of about 882 sq ft, which means the price translates to about $13,000 psf.Ku Swee Yong Real Estate

Many people know they will not be able to manage their living costs. Many more people suspect that they are unable to afford their retirement: care costs, transport, utilities, … but most are simply worrying, very few have taken concrete actions.Start preparing for slow living overseas: look for lower cost medical care, look for favorable FX, start accumulating the currency and learning more and getting familiar about the neighborhoods and hospitals that interest you… start now, start during your next holidays overseas. You will be surprised how livable many other cities are. Don’t be a blind tourist. https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSqxWcCLG/Ku Swee Yong Real Estate

Life would be tough without the wisdom of academics... "Professor Lawrence Loh, who is Director of Governance and Sustainability at the National University of Singapore Business School, said individuals should approach investment opportunities with caution, particularly when they are asked to commit significant sums of money." https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/china-nanning-investment-opportunities-singaporeans-arrested-6362026CNASingaporeans lured by alleged pyramid scheme linked to investment opportunities in ChinaAmid a clampdown by Chinese authorities on pyramid schemes, CNA has learnt of at least a dozen Singaporeans who were approached by fellow Singaporeans over a so-called business and investment scheme in China's southern city of Nanning.Ku Swee Yong Real Estate

WED WEB CHAT — TILL DEATH DO US PART 2 SEPTEMBER 2026 (12:45pm – 1:30pm SGT)It’s still a taboo topic in many societies, in case talking about death will accelerate its arrival. It’s an eventuality you have to accept. By now, we’ve seen enough people of note pass away under various circumstances, and it's been talked about widely on a variety of platforms so much so that death has been demystified and processed so that the predictable RIP messages pop up on social media. But there are practical aspects to death that need to be considered. How can you prepare for your own death, for your own peace of mind, and to ensure those that matter to you can carry on with minimal fuss? The panellists for this Wednesday's WED WEB CHAT — Till Death Do Us Part brings together views on death from different directions. https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_MZqVjpNvTU6RIwXQCZNXJg#/registrationZoomVideo Conferencing, Web Conferencing, Webinars, Screen SharingZoom is the leader in modern enterprise video communications, with an easy, reliable cloud platform for video and audio conferencing, chat, and webinars across mobile, desktop, and room systems.

Most investors left their brains outside the showflat but brought their credit cards in.Perhaps BBC should have mentioned the recent exodus of a few hundred people from Forest City? They are related to an organization called Network School.“In mid-July, Malaysian police raided two alleged scam operations spread across 32 premises in Forest City, arresting 335 people and seizing assets worth about one million ringgit (£181,810; $245,000), including 313 computers, 1,557 mobile phones, 17 laptops and 10 modems.” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2kvlye1k5oBbcForest City: How a ghost town in Malaysia became a Trojan horse for scammersMalaysia's Forest City was pitched as "paradise" but last month police raided it over alleged scam operations.1,170Open in TelegramKu Swee Yong Real Estate

Looks like recent transactions of GCBs are all significantly below asking prices, and also took many months. Also seems like prices are coming down to $2000 per sqft at this prestigious location, about 20% lower than when a larger house was transacted in Aug2023 around the time when Fujian Gang was busted.

US$3 trillion liabilities, mostly hidden from view. Even if half of the DC projects were cancelled, the data does not get updated because "don't ask, don't tell" and "push up stock prices" is the current SOP for US tech.

The mainstream English media did not report on this. Seems strange they think it is unimportant for Singaporeans to discuss how we will live 11.2 years (or 13% of our 87 years of life expectancy) in less than perfect health. What are the practical repercussions of living 11 cumulative years with disability in the later part of our lives? What should we do about it? https://storm-asia.com/living-the-longest-but-unwell-the-longest-morbidity-ageing/STORM-ASIALiving The Longest, But Unwell The Longest - STORM-ASIAA long life in Singapore is a boon if the added years are healthy, autonomous, and financially supported. Otherwise it becomes a costly, unwell lilfe.
