http://singaporestraits.blogspot.com/2007/03/car-hit-by-golf-ball-that-flew-through.html
Saturday, March 10, 2007. Car hit by golf ball that flew through safety net. My car was hit by a golf ball that flew through the safety net and went out of bounds at Jurong Country Club while I was driving on the AYE between 6.30pm and 7pm on March 2. I went to the club the next day to launch a complaint and claim. While the club was professional in handling the matter, it has been a chore since. Did the club do anything about it after the first incident? Chew Wee Bing (Ms). Jardine C&C profit declines f...

Friday, March 9, 2007. All Singaporeans out of All-England in first round. SINGAPORE'S campaign at the Yonex All-England badminton championships ended after Ronald Susilo was shown the door in the first round by China's Bao Chunlai.

Bao then scored the next point and, even though I managed to level at 21-21, he pulled away to win. The fourth...

The downtown area also recorded hefty jumps in the charge for the commercial and hotel sectors. The charges can range from hundreds of thousands of dollars to tens of million of dollars for large projects. The charge for landed residential ...

Singapore Feed: Encourage older people to downsize their homes in order to be financially viable in their old age
http://singaporefeed.blogspot.com/2007/03/encourage-older-people-to-downsize.html
Saturday, March 3, 2007. Encourage older people to downsize their homes in order to be financially viable in their old age. I refer to the letter, 'Estate-duty laws unfair to the middle income' (ST, March 1). I have often wondered, and for a long time, why there is such a disparity of exemption in estate-duty laws, namely, $9 million for property assets and only $600,000 for all 'Other Assets'.
