I thought that insensitive post was by people like you? You trying to put words into other people's mouth again after failing to do so about all those fumes and toxic gases? :rolleyes:

Whatever I post, I believe is based on facts or my own personal opinion that is not based on falsehood, and definitely not like you trying to discredit other people who have reputation standing, like US EPA, Europe environment agency and all those scientists.

Since you keep maligning me about this and that and threatening with your made-up falsehood statements that are just trying to put words into my mouth and then trying to intimate me about reporting to authority etc, I strongly urged you to go ahead to report to the authority to prove your point! Stop putting words into my mouth! Who knows, all the postings digged up by the authority may just be strong enough to prove that you are the one making sensitive racist remarks! Not to mention that we already knew you that you had maligned US EPA, Europe environment agency and all those reputable scientists about fumes and toxic gases from refineries / incinerators etc and saying that their reports are rubbish!

Only an idiot will resort to this kind of question. Please go read up US EPA report and use your brain to think!

US EPA report need to say about Singapore air quality? You mean Singapore refineries / incinerators / chemical manufacturing plants are much different from those in US and the technologies used are invented in Singapore and very super green and doesn't produce any toxic gases and pollution as compared to those used in US?
You are either ignorant or oblivious to the fact that many of these refineries & chemical plants are owned by either US-headquartered companies or companies with significant US-presence! :doh:

I am sorry, what you have highlighted are only limited sources of air pollution and you have failed miserably in convince us that polluted air from these sources will only spread to Jurong and not other regions of Singapore, especially if you consider that from Tuas to central region, its only around 25km. Did your US EPA say that air pollution from these sources are limited to 25km radius? YES or NO?

And could you also tell us why are you not particularly interested in other possible sources of air pollution such as fumes from hundreds of shipping liners that scatter all over the south coast line (which are only 5km from orchard) , airplane, air pollution from Pasir Gudang chemical industry, crematorium from central bishan, road transportation etc.

Completed in 1986, Tuas Incineration Plant (TIP) was the
second refuse incineration plant to be built in Singapore.
TIP has the capacity to incinerate 1,700 tonnes of refuse with its 5 units of incinerators


2. JURONG ISLAND Refineries and Chemical Companies - 1.3 Million barrels of oil per day not counting chemical output

From JTC website:
Jurong Island is selected by a number of big industry players as their operations base. Companies who have set up operations in Jurong Island include BASF, Celanese, Exxonmobil, Dupont, Mitsui Chemicals, Chevron Texaco, Shell and Sumitomo Chemical. New additions like CIBA, Huntsman, Natural Fuel, Nexsol and Tate & Lyle have also set up manufacturing facilities on Jurong Island

From Wiki on Jurong Island:
Jurong Island's refineries process 1,300,000 barrels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_(volume)#Oil_barrel) (210,000 m3) of crude oil per day

Output for the chemicals cluster—which cover oil and gas, petrochemicals and specialty chemicals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specialty_chemicals)—totaled S$66.5 billion in 2005, an increase of 31 per cent from 2004


3. 100 TOXIC/INDUSTRIAL WASTE DISPOSAL Companies in Jurong

From NEA:
http://app2.nea.gov.sg/data/cmsresource/20090316562565217318.pdf


4. MINIMUM 8000 Container trucks per day or 700 per hour converging on TUAS starting in 10 years time

http://www.singaporepsa.com/flowthroughgate.php
"It handles an average traffic flow of 700 trucks per peak hour, and 8,000 trucks per day"

Current TEU throughput is 31.26m. Plans are to increase port capacity to 65mil when the Tuas port become fully operational. More than DOUBLE current volume!


5. MINIMUM 1000 shipping vessels will be at new TUAS port starting in 10 years time and can berth for many hours to load and unload.

From Maritime authority of Singapore:


At any one time, there are about 1,000 vessels in the Singapore port.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060928001412AATVFAz

Fully unload, and then load a medium sized container ship of about 800ft. takes about 10-12 hrs.

Firstly, I don't need to convince anybody if you don't want to believe. I just want to bring out the facts, raise the alert to people who bother to listen, and to correct misleading statements and lies propogated by some people like you here.

Secondly, please go read the US EPA report and the other reports I posted previously and come back to tell us your findings. The answers to your questions are there. There is no need for us to spoon feed you and that is not my job.

Thirdly, lest you forgot, you just reminded us a few days ago that Tuas ports will be MASSIVE! All ships and ports' container trucks and lorries will congregate around there! You not scare of the air pollution from ships and land transport that you highlighted in Tuas which is just beside Jurong vicinity? Oh yes, all container trucks and lorries must pass through Jurong to reach Tuas and vice versa. Imagine the tremendous pollution this will bring to Jurong! :rolleyes:

Fourthly, the other forumers have been kind enough to feed you with more detailed information (which I won't bother to do so since no amount of information feeding will wake somebody who has Permanent Head Damage), and so please go read carefully before you start asking questions because it just show either you can't read or you have no brain to comprehend.

Since you claim to know so much about Jurong, can you let readers know how many waste incinerators are in Jurong?

I was speaking from personal experience. I find the air in the east generally fresher. I don't smell bad air coming from ships or factories when I jog at east coast. When I brought my family to Chinese garden or jurong point, there will always be some funny smell in the air. I do not hv the tools to test the compounds in the air but it is definitely some chemical from nearby jurong island or factories. This was also the reason why my family decided against buying a house in or near jurong.


Actually I believe that living around east coast is worst because you are living so close to the fumes coming from the shipping vessel.

You can see that and perhaps smell that when you are along east coast beach. And worst part if that, emission from shipping vessel are not as well regulated as petrol chemical industry and powerplant, beside there are no scientific evidence to show that air quality in other region of Singapore is better and that people living in Jurong has shorter life expectancy.

So here you have a situation of your believe vs my believe.

Like I always said, until you can prove otherwise, if not then dont waste time fear mongering.

Most harmful particles are odourless, PM 2.5 particles are mostly odorless... fart is smelly, it affect the air quality in terms of smell but not harmful to your body. . :)

Carbon monoxide is harmful but odourless, from vehicle exhaust. ..

Breathing in pollutants from all those refineries / chemical manufacturing plants / incinerators / power generation plants may be worst than smoking? :scared-1:


Risk factors linked to things you do

Some lifestyle-related factors have been linked to an higher risk of colorectal cancer.
Certain types of diets: a diet that is high in red meats (beef, lamb, or liver) and processed meats (like hot dogs, bologna, and lunch meat) can increase your colorectal cancer risk. Cooking meats at very high heat (frying, broiling, or grilling) can create chemicals that might increase cancer risk.
Lack of exercise
Being very overweight (or obese)
Smoking

Heavy alcohol use

The smell in jurong especially petrochemical fumes is worse than fart and it lingers in the air for hours and hours each day. This smell is also evident in punggol due to pasir gudang petrochemical plant. I feel that as long as the smell is not blatant, most people wouldn't mind. If the air quality in a place is like being in a petrol kiosk , then it is beyond my comfort level.

I could certainly smell the fumes from the shipping liner whenever I go to east coast. I think this could be due to endless chain of shipping vessel that past through our coast line every day.

The difference is that when you are at the coastline of east coast , you get the occasional whiff from the passing ship. When I shop at parkway or have a meal in katong , I don't smell ships or factories. When you go to any part of jurong, the smell of factories is there. It covers such a big area that jurong folks can't avoid unless in an air conditioned building. I do not know the long term health effects of that coz I am not a doctor , but I find it extremely annoying to my senses. I brought my family to jurong point once and remember covering my nose while walking to the hdb carpark across the road where I parked my car. Maybe jurong folks have a high degree of tolerance to such smells.

How common is Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer rank number 1 killer in the male population and 2nd for the females in Singapore. Between 2005 and 2009, there were about 1193 people in Singapore diagnosed with lung cancer yearly. The great majority were smokers. The risk of lung cancer in a smoker is 15 to 25 times more than for a nonsmoker. More recently, we have increasingly recognized a group of lung cancer in patients who have never smoked, and a proportion of cases are related to Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor mutations.



http://www.singstat.gov.sg/Publications/publications_and_papers/geo_spatial_data/ssnsep09-pg8-12.pdf

Jurong west (east not included) - 264,000

1193/264000X100% = 0.45%...

If we take entire population, the % is way below...

If all lung cancer happens at jurong, the % of 0.45 is low....

Statisitcs will find its way lar.....

Singaporeans are smart, they will know what are issues.....

Every time I go to East Coast Park, it always get the feeling that the air is has got some kind of kerosene smell that is coming from the hundreds of shipping vessel that passes by southern coast line everyday. And due to its proximity (around 2km), whenever there is a slight whiff of air blowing towards the shore, you will get the full impact of the fumes. You can certainly see that from the below pictures.

Perhaps those living in East coast might have mistaken the smell of bunker fumes as smell of fresh air from the sea.

And unlike in factories, where emission are regulated by NEA, shipping vessels are not, so no one really know now much toxic gas are flowing towards east coast line. And since Singapore is going to double its port capacity, I would expect the will be a surge in the number of shipping vessel that pass through the channel.

Do you know that after being in a room full of smokers, the particles will linger on your hair and clothes and you will keep smelling the smoke long after you have left the room? No wonder some people keep smelling fumes..

Anyway, instead of listening to conjecture and baseless statements, here are some facts :


Quick FACTS


1. TWO Waste incinerator plants BURNING upto 4,700 tonnes of refuse daily in Tuas

From NEA website



Tuas South Incineration Plant is the fourth and largest refuse incineration plant in Singapore. Built at a cost of S$890 million and completed in June 2000, it was designed to incinerate 3,000 tonnes of refuse daily.

2. JURONG ISLAND Refineries and Chemical Companies - 1.3 Million barrels of oil per day not counting chemical output

From JTC website:
Jurong Island is selected by a number of big industry players as their operations base. Companies who have set up operations in Jurong Island include BASF, Celanese, Exxonmobil, Dupont, Mitsui Chemicals, Chevron Texaco, Shell and Sumitomo Chemical. New additions like CIBA, Huntsman, Natural Fuel, Nexsol and Tate & Lyle have also set up manufacturing facilities on Jurong Island

From Wiki on Jurong Island:

4. MINIMUM 8000 Container trucks per day or 700 per hour (peak) converging on TUAS starting in 10 years time

http://www.singaporepsa.com/flowthroughgate.php
"It handles an average traffic flow of 700 trucks per peak hour, and 8,000 trucks per day"

Current TEU throughput is 31.26m. Plans are to increase port capacity to 65mil when the Tuas port become fully operational. More than DOUBLE current volume!


5. MINIMUM 1000 shipping vessels will be at new TUAS port at any point in time (starting in 10 years time) and can berth for many hours to load and unload.

This is getting sillier and sillier by the day. There is no point arguing which part of Singapore has dirtier air.

Basically, air quality in Singapore is not good, but not worst in the world. And one part of Singapore is no cleaner than another part. It is a very small country. So, common sense would dictate little difference in air quality across the country. Whatever toxic air in the east will soon be present in the west, and vice versa.

If you want really clean air, just move to another country. Moving to CCR from OCR makes little difference. I actually agree that East Coast Park has very dirty air.

BTW, PM2.5 at this moment is at 7 in the west and 10 in Central, and 15 is the east. It just proves my point. There is very little difference.

First, someone says that there is no difference and then he ends his statement agreeing that East Coast park has very dirty air....why not north, south or central?

If its not too personal, mind sharing to readers where you live and work?

Do you know that after being in a room full of smokers, the particles will linger on your hair and clothes and you will keep smelling the smoke long after you have left the room? No wonder some people keep smelling fumes..

Peace offering accepted but certains facts can't be denied.

Given a choice, will you want to live closer or further away from a heavy industrial area even in a small country like Singapore. Especially after knowing the facts below:

Quick FACTS


1. TWO Waste incinerator plants BURNING upto 4,700 tonnes of refuse daily in Tuas

From NEA website




Tuas South Incineration Plant is the fourth and largest refuse incineration plant in Singapore. Built at a cost of S$890 million and completed in June 2000, it was designed to incinerate 3,000 tonnes of refuse daily.




Completed in 1986, Tuas Incineration Plant (TIP) was the
second refuse incineration plant to be built in Singapore.
TIP has the capacity to incinerate 1,700 tonnes of refuse with its 5 units of incinerators


2. JURONG ISLAND Refineries and Chemical Companies - 1.3 Million barrels of oil per day not counting chemical output

From JTC website:
Jurong Island is selected by a number of big industry players as their operations base. Companies who have set up operations in Jurong Island include BASF, Celanese, Exxonmobil, Dupont, Mitsui Chemicals, Chevron Texaco, Shell and Sumitomo Chemical. New additions like CIBA, Huntsman, Natural Fuel, Nexsol and Tate & Lyle have also set up manufacturing facilities on Jurong Island

From Wiki on Jurong Island:
Jurong Island's refineries process 1,300,000 barrels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_(volume)#Oil_barrel) (210,000 m3) of crude oil per day

Output for the chemicals cluster—which cover oil and gas, petrochemicals and specialty chemicals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specialty_chemicals)—totaled S$66.5 billion in 2005, an increase of 31 per cent from 2004


3. 100 TOXIC/INDUSTRIAL WASTE DISPOSAL Companies in Jurong

4. MINIMUM 8000 Container trucks per day or 700 per hour (peak) converging on TUAS starting in 10 years time

http://www.singaporepsa.com/flowthroughgate.php
"It handles an average traffic flow of 700 trucks per peak hour, and 8,000 trucks per day"

Current TEU throughput is 31.26m. Plans are to increase port capacity to 65mil when the Tuas port become fully operational. More than DOUBLE current volume!


5. MINIMUM 1000 shipping vessels will be at new TUAS port at any point in time (starting in 10 years time) and can berth for many hours to load and unload.

From Maritime authority of Singapore:


At any one time, there are about 1,000 vessels in the Singapore port.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...8001412AATVFAz (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060928001412AATVFAz)

Fully unload, and then load a medium sized container ship of about 800ft. takes about 10-12 hrs.



6. Dioxins (toxic) from waste incinerators are SIGNIFICANTLY higher than crematoriums.

Been asking Teddybear if the US EPA report specifically mentioned that air pollution only affect residents within 10 to 20km radius. So far no reply yet and I dont expect we will get any reply either because trolls cannot survive on facts.

I would live in the West if that would get me closer to work. I would live in Bishan if I work in the area. It's where you job is that determines where I live. Given that air quality is equally good or equally bad across the island, there is no preference for me as far as where I like to live. I would not live in Central to go to work in the east or west. It just would make zero sense given how bad traffic has become in the country. I think that is reason the west is booming. No one can afford to live in central but work in the west.

You are just talking bullshit nonsense. No area is like any other area in any country. When we consider where to live, we need to consider everything. The west is better for some because it is cheaper, closer to work, and offers as many amenities as central, and no worse air than other areas of Singapore. That is the whole point of the debate. No point harping about a minute tiny difference in air quality. Air quality would make a difference when you compare for example, Melbourne and Beijing. That would be a meaningful difference. Comparing the west and east of Singapore is just plain stupid. The difference is too small to be meaningful in terms of health and life expectancy.

AQI is at 237 in beijing, 12 in Toronto, and 38 in Central Singapore, and 25 in western Singapore. The west has the best air at this moment, by the way.

Secondly, your office is in the west.

Thirdly, your tenure of work here is probably by contract which means that there is a definitive time frame for the length of your stay in Singapore

Switching from air pollution to speculating about individual is one of the more common side track move by troll in this forum.

Isnt it very obvious that you are living in the east, thats why you are not talking about the air pollution from the shipping vessel along the east coast.

I am sure the authority is certainly concerned about the PM2.5 issue in Singapore given quite a no. of days in a year with values exceeding WHO's threshold of 20microgram/m3. Cars, ships, factories, etc are culprits of such emission. Exposure risk depends on size of sources, emission rate, types of sources, distance from sources, wind speed, wind direction, terrain, etc. Health effect can be chronic and/or acute in nature. We have our own list of priorities in deciding where we want to live in. It is our choice.:)

Just a point to ponder. All condos in sg get sold out eventually, but do you think all condos are good or investment grade just because every unit has been sold? I think the reason for jgateway's sellout has a lot to do with sales strategy and timing as many bought just before tdsr kicked in.

Agents these days are very good at creating pent up demand and hype up a project before they are actually launched. Tdsr also has a big part to play as people with their kiasu mentality just want to secure a unit before the latest cooling measure came to force. That phenomenon can also be seen before the absd came to force.

1) The project was sold out during preview, and prior to that, it is the standard SOP online marketing. Was there something extra ordinary?

2) The preview was conducted on friday, a working day where people who are interested will have to take leave from work to attend. And during that day itself, the project was pretty much sold out by 5pm and the TDRS announcement was only made to the public at about 6pm+

Ringo,
Why you never tell us the Orchard dengue all happened to workers from 1 construction site hah? You trying to mislead again?

I was wondering why the West area so far no dengue despite so many construction sites going on, no wonder! You provided the answer! The smokes that are coming out 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in Jurong area already killed all the dengue mosquitoes in their beds at all these construction sites in the West area like in Jurong and JLD! :doh:

So, it seems West area like Jurong & JLD has 1 advantage: Less chance of Dengue! But that also prove that the West area like Jurong has so much more toxic gases and smokes compared to the rest of the regions in Singapore! Worst than East Coast or Changi! We still don't know the long-term effect yet! May be many people got slow poisoning, and these induced cancers like lung cancers, colon cancers, ...? :doh:

Area along Orchard Road declared dengue ‘red’ zone

SINGAPORE — An area along Orchard Road has been declared a dengue “red” zone, after 18 dengue cases linked to the Orchard Gateway construction project were reported.
BY - 8 HOURS 2 MIN AGO
SINGAPORE — An area along Orchard Road has been declared a dengue “red” zone, after 18 dengue cases linked to the Orchard Gateway construction project were reported.

A second cluster, comprising three cases, has also formed in the Eber Road and Oxley Rise area, but no link has been observed between the two clusters yet.

According to the National Environment Agency (NEA), two breeding spots were found on the Orchard Gateway construction site. Fifteen of the 18 dengue victims in the zone are workers on the site, while the rest are working in the cluster area. “It cannot be confirmed if the three contracted dengue at their workplace or at their residence,” said an NEA spokesperson.

A dengue cluster is formed when two or more dengue cases occur within 14 days and the homes of the victims are 150m of each other. Any area with over 10 cases is considered a high-risk or “red” cluster.

The NEA said the contractor of the Orchard Gateway site stopped operations for five days to conduct a “thorough check” to remove potential breeding habitats, and its workers are taking their temperature and applying insect repellent daily. NEA officers have also conducted three rounds of inspection since the area was identified as a cluster on Oct 10.

“The contractor will be fined for the mosquito breeding found and has been warned that (the) NEA may impose a stop-work order if the situation does not improve,” added the NEA spokesperson.

As of yesterday, there have been 18,296 reported dengue cases in Singapore this year, and six reported dengue deaths. CHANNEL NEWSASIA

After seeing the success of JLD, someone from the East is hoping URA will build a CBD in the EAST :)

So its not unexpected to see some forum members here trying to talk bad about JLD despite its obvious potential.


Create another CBD in the east

10 Oct 2013, Straits Times
TUESDAY'S commentary ("Transport plan needs more than just hardware") said that had the original public transport plans made a decade ago been adhered to, our transport infrastructure would have kept pace with the population boom.

It also pointed out the 360 per cent increase in commuter trips, compared with the 110 per cent growth in population since 1981, and commented that the new masterplan may merely be playing catch-up.

These observations suggest that a thorough, long-term review of our transport plan is needed, as meeting future demand for public transport takes decades to plan and execute. We should pay more attention to the cost-effectiveness of our public transport, as much of the infrastructure and equipment costs are not fully reflected in passenger fares but are subsidised by taxpayers' money.

Considering increases in construction and operational costs in the future, how cost-effective would the different forms of transport be then? These numbers are useful for transport planning and for us to know the true costs of our public transport.

Ideally, we should also do a thorough review of our urban planning and re-examine some old planning concepts inherited from the past when our population was much smaller.

A case in point is whether we should forever stick to having one Central Business District (CBD) or whether it would be better to have another one in the future.

From the cost-effectiveness angle, it makes sense to have another CBD - in the east, for example.

Building transport infrastructure leading to the new CBD would be much cheaper than that to the existing one.

We should not incessantly add traffic to the congested southern tip of our island year after year. With another CBD on the other side of the island, we would create more traffic in the opposite direction during peak hours.

Let us explore this now as it would be very costly for future Singaporeans to reverse the plans.

the marketing post & JG launch post is 2 separate qn altogether. y is there a nid for further explanation?

P's explanation abt marketing is in response to R33 qn on the uniqueness of J G sales strategy and timing. by rite the story on mktg shd end here.

But R33 went on to gave details on JG launch.
So P was impressed by the details & followed up by asking if R33 is vested, whether it is a gd buy etc.

tat's my interpretation of the whole thing. I dun see any prob wif tat?

1)in general ... when a person sees something he likes ... he will find all the reasons to justify why he shud get it...


2)if one doesn't like it ...one will also find reasons why one shouldn't buy...


3)others will try to give their opinions if they would or would not consider buying ...

all information gathered from 1 2 and 3 will help sideliners make a decision..


that is what I used to find in this forum ....

After talking so much about how great is Sky Vue and Bishan and J Gateway launch price has already factor in ALL of future JLD potential. I wont say that you are stupid, but just dont think you are very clever.

Perhaps its best that you just echo what others are saying so that you will never need to defend what you said alone.

No one in the right mind will say things like J Gateway pricing already factor in ALL (ALL) of JLD potential....

And if you really know so well about Bishan property potential, then it would be that difficult for you to say YES, Sky Vue will have better capital gain and rental potential than J Gateway. I guess this is result of echoing too much what others are saying and and saying without thinking.

And the worst part is the same person is trying to give "investment advise"

the marketing post & JG launch post is 2 separate qn altogether. y is there a nid for further explanation?

P's explanation abt marketing is in response to R33 qn on the uniqueness of J G sales strategy and timing. by rite the story on mktg shd end here.

But R33 went on to gave details on JG launch.
So P was impressed by the details & followed up by asking if R33 is vested, whether it is a gd buy etc.

tat's my interpretation of the whole thing. I dun see any prob wif tat?

or perhaps u can enlighten us on the best model qn tat P shd ask after R33 has given JG launch details.

the start of the whole thing was in #2815
http://forums.condosingapore.com/showpost.php?p=439805&postcount=2815

based of the way the post was written, i have the impression that Patrickstar think JG is not good or investment grade despite it was a 1 day soldout. The reasons Patrickstar gave was good marketing & TDSR.
so Mermaid, marketing,TDSR and JG launch sellout are connected by this post.

http://forums.condosingapore.com/showpost.php?p=439808&postcount=2816
R33 ask what was so unique about JG sales strategy & timing. Unique was the word used because JG was a 1day sellout which was not duplicated by other projects like SV, The Glades.

http://forums.condosingapore.com/showpost.php?p=439813&postcount=2817
Patrickstar responded that agents were very good and also because of TDSR.

http://forums.condosingapore.com/showpost.php?p=439829&postcount=2818
R33 replied that marketing was standard type. before 5pm, almost all units sold out even before TDSR was announced. so according to R33, beating the TDSR was a minor or non-issue.

http://forums.condosingapore.com/showpost.php?p=439862&postcount=2821
Instead of rebutting R33, Patrickstar instead turn to personal questions.

Patrickstar point of contention was in the very first post #2815
good marketing and TDSR will have 1day sell out inspite of JG not being good or investment grade.

Hopeful then ask, what can't marketing team for JG success be duplicated elsewhere, if marketing have really play a big role in JG 1 day sellout success.
Hopeful asked for further clarification from Patrickstar :
Are SV and The Glades good or investment quality projects let down by poor marketing team and perhaps TDSR, thats why up to now, not a 1 day sellout, not a 1 week sellout. perhaps not even a 1 month sellout.

PS.
R33 point that TDSR has a minor role of in JG success, by pointing out that units almost sold by 5pm before TDSR was annouced.
If anybody want to counter R33 argument, one should seek help from marketing agents for JG. How many units sold before TDSR was announced?
instead of asking personal questions like whether one did buy unit or not, regret or not.

ok, hopeful, I see where u r coming fm. But allow me to say a word of fairness. Tink u read too much into P's intent. In tis whole convo, both R33 & P r merely stating their opinions.

1. It is impossible to measure & quantify the effectiveness of marketing efforts, regardless of projects.
2. It will be hard to quantify if tdsr is the reason behind the 1 day sell out cos one cannot explicitly admit into leaking insider infor if there is. (I can tell u, when I went for my vvip balloting, my agent did something backdoor n I safely got the unit at the storey I wanted) ;)

my interpretation of the message tat P is trying to bring across (I may be wrong, ok):
sellout within 1 day doesnt necc mean tat the proj is gd. It could be due to ppl caught wind of tdsr news, gd marketing efforts etc. P is merely listing the possibilities, it is nvr meant to discredit JG (I feel la).

as to y P is asking a personal qn, y P did not ask the so-called follow up qn, I tink there is no hard or fast rule. Honestly, fm the way R33 phrased his reply, most likely I will end up having the same qn as P (if Im new to tis thread) too :p

Agents these days are very good at creating pent up demand and hype up a project before they are actually launched. Tdsr also has a big part to play as people with their kiasu mentality just want to secure a unit before the latest cooling measure came to force. That phenomenon can also be seen before the absd came to force.

1) What did the agent do?

2) When was TDSR announced? Did anyone mentioned know about annoucement TDSR before it was announced to the public?

Maybe you should learn to post comment based on fact instead of fanboy yingyang making wild speculation that you cannot back up.

The truth is out there....


http://www.ifaq.gov.sg/nea/apps/fcd_faqmain.aspx#FAQ_50968

The 24-hour PSI index system adopted by Singapore is based on continuous measurements of five key air pollutants in the air (PM10, ozone, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide). The index is based on average values taken over a 24-hour period in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency guidelines. The index is not a composite index and is based on the pollutant that has the highest concentration over a 24-hour period. During haze, the pollutant that records the highest concentration is PM10.

The 3-hour PSI is computed based on the 3-hour average PM10 concentrationsbecause PM10 is the pollutant with the highest concentration in the event of haze. We introduced hourly reporting of the 3-hour PSI during the 1997 smoke haze episode to give the public additional information on the current air quality situation as it varies from hour to hour. Since 20 Jun 2013, NEA has been reporting the 3-hour PSI readings round the clock every hour. The 3-hour PSI is not used to determine the health advisory.


Implications:

24 hr PSI is NOT a composite - what this means is that it is based on the highest concentration of ONE pollutant measured by that station in that particular location. What this means is that other pollutants may be higher in certain districts with lower PSI readings but it will NOT be reflected in the PSI readings as long as that one pollutant is still the highest.

Rough example

West :
PM10 average index is 28 but SO2, CO and NO2 are all around 27. The PSI will be 28.

North :
PM10 average index is 30 but SO2, CO and NO2 are around 10, the PSI will be 30.

People in the West may be breathing in less PM10 but much more SO2, CO and NO2.

Until there is data to show the actual readings of all pollutants, the PSI readings may not accurately reflect the total amount of pollutants in your district.

For 3-hour PSI readings, it is clearly stated that they only base it on PM10 readings so you will not know how SO2, CO or NO you are breathing in despite lower PM10 levels.

The truth is out there....


http://www.ifaq.gov.sg/nea/apps/fcd_faqmain.aspx#FAQ_50968

The 24-hour PSI index system adopted by Singapore is based on continuous measurements of five key air pollutants in the air (PM10, ozone, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide). The index is based on average values taken over a 24-hour period in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency guidelines. The index is not a composite index and is based on the pollutant that has the highest concentration over a 24-hour period. During haze, the pollutant that records the highest concentration is PM10.

The 3-hour PSI is computed based on the 3-hour average PM10 concentrationsbecause PM10 is the pollutant with the highest concentration in the event of haze. We introduced hourly reporting of the 3-hour PSI during the 1997 smoke haze episode to give the public additional information on the current air quality situation as it varies from hour to hour. Since 20 Jun 2013, NEA has been reporting the 3-hour PSI readings round the clock every hour. The 3-hour PSI is not used to determine the health advisory.


Implications:

24 hr PSI is NOT a composite - what this means is that it is based on the highest concentration of ONE pollutant measured by that station in that particular location. What this means is that other pollutants may be higher in certain districts with lower PSI readings but it will NOT be reflected in the PSI readings as long as that one pollutant is still the highest.

Rough example

West :
PM10 average index is 28 but SO2, CO and NO2 are all around 27. The PSI will be 28.

North :
PM10 average index is 30 but SO2, CO and NO2 are around 10, the PSI will be 30.

People in the West may be breathing in less PM10 but much more SO2, CO and NO.

If the air smells polluted in a place practically every day, I wouldn't want to live there no matter how much the govt develops the area. Under no haze conditions , I still feel that the east has much better air quality. I hope nobody would ask me for NEA reports coz I too believe these figures mean nothing. If our nose finds the smell in an area consistently irritating , we should live elsewhere.


We all know these PSI is quite meaningless NOW because it does not conform to reality on the ground (eg how can Central nature catchment area has higher PSI than Jurong heavily pollution estate) and it also depends on where the sensor is placed, and it does not capture the amount and toxicity of all those toxic gases released in/around Jurong area........................ :o

For those who condemned the West...please keep

I do not think pollution from ships would be as consistent and as severe as fumes from a petrochemical plant. Long term inhalation of too much petrochemical fumes has more dire effects than the occasional smoke from passing ships.

why so? I was told that at any one time there are at least 1000 mega ships around Singapore. And from the many picture of the east coast sea view I posted, the ships seem to appear on every picture I can find of east coast sea view and they are consistently and evenly spread out along the entire southern coast line 24/7/365. And according to what I read, shipping vessel emission are poorly regulated and they are all using bunker oil (dirty oil as they call it)

And did the report also mentioned anything about air pollutions from other sources such as airport and shipping channels and port?

Hi Teddy
In the same breath
also do not need people to write that the West got bad Feng Shui and unhealthy air pollution as if cursing residents in the West with bad luck and shorter life span

As in my earlier posting...the above statement will be fine if the West is a New Frontier with no or few inhabitants but that's not the case

The west now live many people and fully populated and they are your fellow Singaporeans, don't you feel its uncalled for ?

I live in the West and am very happy here and so are my vested properties and so are hundred of thousands of resident here

Read again the title of this Thread, is
Owners in the West beware
Its not Singapore Property owners beware of the West

So don't you think if other subjects like Bishan, CCR property, East coast vs west coast on who is the most polluted and blah blah blah are Out of topic here ?

Just like perfume, when you first wear it, the smell is strong, after awhile your nose get used to it.

So perhaps that explain why after going parkway parade so many time, you and your family can no longer smell the dirty bunker fumes floating in the air.

http://www.transportenvironment.org/what-we-do/shipping/air-pollution-ships


Air pollution emissions from ships are continuously growing, while land-based emissions are gradually coming down. If things are left as they are, by 2020 shipping will be the biggest single emitter of air pollution in Europe, even surpassing the emissions from all land-based sources together.


Air pollution from international shipping accounts approximately for 50,000 premature deaths per year in Europe, at an annual cost to society of more than €58 billion according to recent scientific studies. Through chemical reactions in the air, SO2 and NOx is converted into fine particles, sulphate and nitrate aerosols. In addition to the particles directly emitted by ships such as black carbon, these secondary particles increase the health impacts of shipping pollution. Tiny airborne particles are linked to premature deaths. The particles get into the lungs and are small enough to pass through tissues and enter the blood. They can then trigger inflammations which eventually cause heart and lung failures. Ship emissions may also contain carcinogenic particles.

Implementing the sulphur standards for shipping fuels that the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted in 2008 is expected to save 26,000 lives a year in the EU as from 2020.

And whats the distant between East Coast and the shipping vessel?

Tuas South Incineration Plant is the fourth and largest refuse incineration plant in Singapore. Built at a cost of S$890 million and completed in June 2000, it was designed to incinerate 3,000 tonnes of refuse daily.




Completed in 1986, Tuas Incineration Plant (TIP) was the
second refuse incineration plant to be built in Singapore.
TIP has the capacity to incinerate 1,700 tonnes of refuse with its 5 units of incinerators


2. JURONG ISLAND Refineries and Chemical Companies - 1.3 Million barrels of oil per day not counting chemical output

From JTC website:
Jurong Island is selected by a number of big industry players as their operations base. Companies who have set up operations in Jurong Island include BASF, Celanese, Exxonmobil, Dupont, Mitsui Chemicals, Chevron Texaco, Shell and Sumitomo Chemical. New additions like CIBA, Huntsman, Natural Fuel, Nexsol and Tate & Lyle have also set up manufacturing facilities on Jurong Island

From Wiki on Jurong Island:
Jurong Island's refineries process 1,300,000 barrels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_(volume)#Oil_barrel) (210,000 m3) of crude oil per day

Output for the chemicals cluster—which cover oil and gas, petrochemicals and specialty chemicals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specialty_chemicals)—totaled S$66.5 billion in 2005, an increase of 31 per cent from 2004


3. 100 TOXIC/INDUSTRIAL WASTE DISPOSAL Companies in Jurong

From NEA:
http://app2.nea.gov.sg/data/cmsresou...2565217318.pdf (http://app2.nea.gov.sg/data/cmsresource/20090316562565217318.pdf)


4. MINIMUM 8000 Container trucks per day or 700 per hour (peak) converging on TUAS starting in 10 years time

http://www.singaporepsa.com/flowthroughgate.php
"It handles an average traffic flow of 700 trucks per peak hour, and 8,000 trucks per day"

Current TEU throughput is 31.26m. Plans are to increase port capacity to 65mil when the Tuas port become fully operational. More than DOUBLE current volume!


5. MINIMUM 1000 shipping vessels will be at new TUAS port at any point in time (starting in 10 years time) and can berth for many hours to load and unload.

From Maritime authority of Singapore:


At any one time, there are about 1,000 vessels in the Singapore port.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...8001412AATVFAz (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060928001412AATVFAz)

Fully unload, and then load a medium sized container ship of about 800ft. takes about 10-12 hrs.



6. Dioxins (toxic) from waste incinerators are SIGNIFICANTLY higher than crematoriums.

Also see Fact 1.

The list grows longer thanks to info kindly provided by forumer below

Yes, average life span longer, but even worse off because of all kind of cancers to drain off retirement funds & yet cannot die peacefully and painlessly! :banghead:


The haze problem has been there for donkey years and yet the average life span of Singaporean are getting longer

There are things that are beyond our control but there are things we can do for our self like eating more fruits, vegetable and traditional herbs to cleanse our body of the toxic, ya ?

So if you are living in the East, you should be concern about the pollution in your own back yard instead of talking about whats happen else where.


Air pollution emissions from ships are continuously growing, while land-based emissions are gradually coming down. If things are left as they are, by 2020 shipping will be the biggest single emitter of air pollution in Europe, even surpassing the emissions from all land-based sources together.



Air pollution from international shipping accounts approximately for 50,000 premature deaths per year in Europe, at an annual cost to society of more than €58 billion according to recent scientific studies. Through chemical reactions in the air, SO2 and NOx is converted into fine particles, sulphate and nitrate aerosols. In addition to the particles directly emitted by ships such as black carbon, these secondary particles increase the health impacts of shipping pollution. Tiny airborne particles are linked to premature deaths. The particles get into the lungs and are small enough to pass through tissues and enter the blood. They can then trigger inflammations which eventually cause heart and lung failures. Ship emissions may also contain carcinogenic particles.

West got bad feng shui is based on what my Feng Shui Master said. Feng Shui is something that some people believe, some don't. If you don't believe, you can don't believe, so there is nothing to criticise about, not that my Feng Shui master purposely cursing residents in the West but he has made the remark based on his professional opinion as a Feng Shui Master.

West got unhealthy air pollution is because within the vicinity of refineries, incinerators, chemical manufacturing, power generation plants (and will be worst with many more such plants coming on-stream)!
US EPA and Europe EA reports had confirmed harmful effects on health of people living within 5km of such heavy industrial plants! These reports are based on facts. Don't suppose you are trying to say US EPA and Europe EA purposely cursing residents in the West with bad luck and shorter life span and these are false and lies?

Precisely because
"The west now live many people and fully populated and they are your fellow Singaporeans, "
It is necessary for me to raise the alert and let them take necessary precautions to minimize the effect if they still want to continue to live in the West. The ultimate decision rests on them.
What is not right is to make misleading statement and tell lies such as US EPA and Europe EA reports are rubbish, and that there is no long-term health effect difference between somebody who live within 1km and outside of 10km of such heavy industrial plants.

I never try to compare West to Bishan and East Coast etc. It was Ringo who started that first right? May be you should tell him that this is out of topic here because here we should be discussing about the "West" only? :p



Hi Teddy
In the same breath
also do not need people to write that the West got bad Feng Shui and unhealthy air pollution as if cursing residents in the West with bad luck and shorter life span

As in my earlier posting...the above statement will be fine if the West is a New Frontier with no or few inhabitants but that's not the case

The west now live many people and fully populated and they are your fellow Singaporeans, don't you feel its uncalled for ?

I live in the West and am very happy here and so are my vested properties and so are hundred of thousands of resident here

Read again the title of this Thread, is
Owners in the West beware
Its not Singapore Property owners beware of the West

So don't you think if other subjects like Bishan, CCR property, East coast vs west coast on who is the most polluted and blah blah blah are Out of topic here ?
I felt if people were to respect the title of the thread (even if you do not respect or like the thread starter) then no such lengthy debates

Agree that bad air drifts and to a certain extent we can't avoid pollution completely. However, we should all be concerned about consistency and duration of that pollution in a certain area (can be anywhere). There are only a small handful of residential areas in Singapore where you find the air consistently polluted every day by industrial activities. I am not saying other areas are perfect, but they do not have that same degree and consistency of pollution on a day to day basis.

ministries shifting to JLD?
more infrastructure, like NTF hospital coming up?
JG 1day sell out as compared to others?

as for pollution, i used insurance as a test. why does insurance companies say life and health insurance is same in East and West?

does anybody want to dispute this: smoker in east have higher insurance premiums than non-smoker in west
does anybody want to dispute this: younger drivers have higher insurance premiums than older drivers.
so insurance companies have already been shown to discriminate based on lifestyle habits and age. and i am pretty sure they will discriminate based on address too if it affects their bottomline, contrary to what teddy might say.

as mention b4, insurance companies love it when people lied, whether lying by omission or by commission. if no claim, they keep ur premiums. when u claim, that's when they say u lied. reject ur claim and/or return ur past premiums.

Though I don't live in the West, shouldn't the PSI be the best gauge on healthy/unhealthy air, being a stats obsessed nation? It's true that PSI doesn't differ significantly across the country.

That said, in certain industrial estates in the west, I have seen many car owners covering their cars with a protective layer. This action does not extend to areas like Boon Lay/Jurong East though. Only at the Tuas industrial estates. So my guess is that Boon Lay/Jurong residential/commercial areas is fine.

So now is yr turn to reply my qn. Do u deemed wat R33 has claimed & asserted to be true & fair and without malicious lies?......

I have already given example of ONR (sorry,some forummer want to keep it a secret). The calculations, etc on what rental is required to get the desired yield. It is up to each individual to believe whether the calculations are reasonable and achievable or not.

Did R33 give promises that rental 4-5%. No, he state his opinion.
and I state my opinion too that JG MM can easily achieve 4-5%.

As you may have pointed, people have nothing against JG, yet certain forummers seems to like to use the figure of $17xx when saying JG is overpriced and especially when comparing with SV at $14xx-$15xx.

so in your opinion, are these people true & fair and without malicious lies. You see, lying can both be by omission, and by commission.
imo, stating JG at $17xx when used in comparison with SV is a lie by omission. certain material facts are withheld (ie lying by omission), the $17xx is for MM and high floor.

people here has a beef against R33. Seems to hold R33 to a higher standard than the rest.

you will ask why i didnt answer ur question whether what R33 has claimed to be asserted to be true & fair and etc.
the thing is you yourself ask people what age range they fall in and yet you didnt fill in the age range urself.
So before i answer ur question on R33 whether he is malicious etc, can u answer my question whether those forummers who lied by ommision (JG at 17xx psf is overpriced in comparison to SV at $14xx) and/or those who lied by commission (5xx SV units sold vs 4xx sold by September) are they true & fair & without malicious lies?

So in theory, central area will get the full impact of polluted air around 8 months a year because they are situated in the cross path of Pulua Bukum

In reality, the pollution from industries don't travel that far because chemicals unlike smoke particles from burning of trees is light and is dissipated into the upper atmosphere by winds quickly. Moreover, the industries in Pasir Gudang are not the same kind of heavy duty and high value chemical and oil industries you find in Jurong Island and Tuas - though I won't buy Punggol as it is directly opposite.

For example, you can smell the coacoa and chemical smells in Boon Lay, Jurong West and parts of Jurong East, but not in Bukit Batok or Clementi only 1 station away. Pollution drops substantially every km you're away from the industries.

But of course can't smell doesn't mean don't have, only the concentration is very much lower that the human noise can't detect. For this reason, East Coast is still the best place in Singapore.

Take another example, the Japan nuclear disaster exclusion zone is 20km. The distance from Pasir Gudang to central area is about 20km. And we're talking about nuclear.

25-10-13, 11:52
you will ask why i didnt answer ur question whether what R33 has claimed to be asserted to be true & fair and etc.

The reason y I asked u to comment abt yr opinion on R33's assertion is becos I only see u complaining abt those bashers. Hence, u appeared to be siding R33 indirectly.




the thing is you yourself ask people what age range they fall in and yet you didnt fill in the age range urself.

U r missing the point here.
Is there a rule saying tat I nid to fill in my age range when I created a poll to find out abt others? Or hv I given such promise in an attempt to con others into doing so as per claimed by R33?

Remember I ever asked u the psf u paid for yr JG? U did not reply me. Did I press u again for an answer? Nope I din. I was under the conclusion tat you may not wish to reveal & I respected yr decision.

As to my age range, I hv told R33. Since he specifically complained tat I din vote in the poll, I challenge him to do it, after which I will go & vote as well. I gave him my word but in the end, he chickened out.
So, the same applies to u. U complaint tat Im evasive rite? Fine, go & vote the age range of yours & I shall follow the same. Fair enuff?



So before i answer ur question on R33 whether he is malicious etc, can u answer my question whether those forummers who lied by ommision (JG at 17xx psf is overpriced) and/or those who lied by commission (5xx SV units sold) are they true & fair & without malicious lies?
I agree wif u, deliberate omission & misleading r as gd as lying.

Perhaps you did not fully appreciate the implied message tat I was trying to bring across in my earlier posts. I suppose the following shd answer yr qn.


as much as I can see where dksg is coming from, I dun agree on everything tat he said.
no doubt tat R33 is kinda nasty in names calling, but others who did the same back to him r equally as bad, no?

I have already given example of ONR (sorry,some forummer want to keep it a secret). The calculations, etc on what rental is required to get the desired yield. It is up to each individual to believe whether the calculations are reasonable and achievable or not.

Did R33 give promises that rental 4-5%. No, he state his opinion.
and I state my opinion too that JG MM can easily achieve 4-5%.

As you may have pointed, people have nothing against JG, yet certain forummers seems to like to use the figure of $17xx when saying JG is overpriced and especially when comparing with SV at $14xx-$15xx.

so in your opinion, are these people true & fair and without malicious lies. You see, lying can both be by omission, and by commission.
imo, stating JG at $17xx when used in comparison with SV is a lie by omission. certain material facts are withheld (ie lying by omission), the $17xx is for MM and high floor.

people here has a beef against R33. Seems to hold R33 to a higher standard than the rest.

you will ask why i didnt answer ur question whether what R33 has claimed to be asserted to be true & fair and etc.
the thing is you yourself ask people what age range they fall in and yet you didnt fill in the age range urself.
So before i answer ur question on R33 whether he is malicious etc, can u answer my question whether those forummers who lied by ommision (JG at 17xx psf is overpriced in comparison to SV at $14xx) and/or those who lied by commission (5xx SV units sold vs 4xx sold by September) are they true & fair & without malicious lies?


Since you are such a stalwart defender of R33.

Could you please let us know your opinion of all the threads started by R33 and his various posts in the landed forum. Do you consider his posts there true & fair, non-confrontational and non-malicious?

So what happen to
1) Theory of no new supply (especially detached housing)
2) 20,000??? RICH new citizen?
3) Landed property owners (Especially detached housing) have deep pocket and holding power?
4) Landed owners are not affected by TDSR because they are CASH RICH?

U r missing the point here.
Is there a rule saying tat I nid to fill in my age range when I created a poll to find out abt others? Or hv I given such promise in an attempt to con others into doing so as per claimed by R33?

Actually if not for the factories and refineries, I feel jurong is an excellent place to live being so near Tuas checkpoint for commuting to Malaysia. I have nothing against jurong after all that is part of our country and we should be proud of its development.


Actually Jurong Lake district and boon lay only kena the full blast of pollution for 4 months a year - that's 8 good months of relatively good air!

From June-Sept every year, the South West monsoon will blow the air over from Jurong Island and Tuas. Look dude, only 4 months!

You dont agree on everything that he said about JG/JLD. Did you voice out your disagreement? did you voice out it is wrong to say JG at 17xx psf as overpriced when comparing with SV at 15xx psf? when u know certain material facts are left out. and when September sales figure are revealed to be 4xx, again the quietness regarding DKSG's infraction is quite eery.

and yet in this post

....... but how come when R33 hardsell & paint bombastic & misleading infor on JLD/JG, u all diam diam?

how come I dun see R33 being criticised when he misled others to defend pollution, fengshui, JG? .......
or shd I conclude tat there is double standard here?

When DKSG lied & misleading figures on JG, u all diam diam?
how come I dun see DKSG being criticised when he misled others .......
or shd I conclude tat there is double standard here?

Is the double standard like this?
so those who disagree with R33 supposed to voice out they disagree?
those who disagree with DKSG can keep quiet?

Regarding pollution, my stand has always been this:
pollution is the same everywhere as indicated by the same life and health premiums island wide.


....
issit becos he is the TS, he can behave in whatever nonsensical way as he like?...
perhaps u should asked urself this question, u setup the age poll, so you can behave in any nonsensical way u like?


but Im not a man! -_-
since they r so damn curious abt my age, shdnt they themselves vote 1st if they r gentlemen to begin wif?...
do u think it is cute hiding behind your sex?

lets get back again:
Once again, has R33 misrepresent facts abt JG/JLD in anyway?
the potential of JG/JLD.
ministries shifting to JLD
etc etc etc.

people here has a beef against R33. Seems to hold R33 to a higher standard than the rest.

1. Higher standard? This is what he expects from others:
A. Keep in topic.
See: http://forums.condosingapore.com/showpost.php?p=435754&postcount=1989
B. Provide proof.
See: http://forums.condosingapore.com/showpost.php?p=439241&postcount=2750


2. Yet, he does not seem apply the above to himself.
A. Instead of keeping in topic, he "cannot find a way to reply back and now ask abt personal stuff?"
See: http://forums.condosingapore.com/showpost.php?p=438042&postcount=49
B. Instead of providing proof, he expects others to look up the facts themselves.

3. But that's not all, he went further to:
A. throw unfounded accusations.

B. harass.
See: http://forums.condosingapore.com/showpost.php?p=438032&postcount=46

So, to sum it up:
Do you want to dispute this: Ringo33 has higher standards for others. See 1.
Do you want to dispute this: Ringo33 does not adhere to that level of standard he set for others. See 2.
Do you want to dispute this: It is fair to expect Ringo33 to have that high standard he demands from others.

Finally, will you trust, fully and without doubt, someone with double standard to be making a fair assessment? (I don't know about you, but I certainly have my reservations.)

By the way, I am speaking purely from my experiences and only for myself.
