    Don't worry, this will never happen as ministers have to make sure every singaporeas are happy because they have next election to worry about.
    May be after they sell a lot lands to developers at record prices, they will announce some drastic measures to cool the property market, especially the mass markets and HDB to make sure every singaporeans can afford to buy property.

    Don't say no.
    I think in UK, there is a 2.4, 2.5 or 3.0 (I can't remember) V8. But I think that engine is turbo-charged.

    Anyway, a 2.4 V6 (in Audi A6 2.4 or Nissan Cefiro 230) or a 2.4 V8 (if there is one), will never beat the F1 engine.

    With just 2.4 litre (i.e. 300cc in each of the 8 pistons) and no forced-induction, it can produce 750-850hp!!!!!

    You are wrong!
    The more pistons, the better the engine.

    Compare a 170hp Mitsubishi 2.4 I4 with a 173hp Nissan 2.35 V6.
    Both engine have the same power. So both are as fast.
    The V6 is smooth but you can feel vibration in the I4. Of course, I6 is even better.

    Compare a circle resting on 2 points (4 pistons) with 3 points (6 pistons). The minimum points for a balanced circle is obviously 3.
    All 2/3/4-piston engines need balancer shafts.
    The minimum balanced engine is V6 or I6.

    V8 is even better. Smoother.
    V10 is even more better. More smoother.
    V12 is even more more better. More more smoother.
    V16 .....

    Try sitting in an Audi A6 2.0T I4 vs A6 2.4 V6.
    You can tell the difference. The vibration in the 2.0T!!!!

    When property market up, peoples worry about buble, they swear that they will hold on to their money and buy when collapse. When collpase does happen, they are more than happy to hold on to their money and wish that the price will drop further. When price does drop further, they give up hope on property market. and curse the governement for not doing a good job. When property do recover sligthly, they are very suspicious, hoping this is just a blips. when property price increase accelerate, they hope that the bubble will burst, citing all kinds of far fetch reasons : China stock market, US sub prime market, Iran war, Kelantan oil pipeline, hot money etc. etc. just hope that the market can correct and they can enter the market to pick up cheap deal (they have been advocating Money is king during down cycle)............., when correction do come, they retract, hope that price will drop further................. and the cycle repeat itself.

    Yes, you are talking some, but there are also this crowd who jump in at the third wave when prices had already gone up 50%, they hope it will go up another 50%
    The rare one are the one who bought heavily during SARS and is now starting to unload. There is no doubt to me you won't belongs to this group

    Default MCL Land Cheers Singapore Immigration Drive

    It says this will fuel demand for its mass- to mid-market condominiums.
    Reuters
    Singapore
    17 May 2007

    Singapore's drive to attract more immigrants will lift the earnings of residential property developer MCL Land for years to come, the firm's finance chief said on Thursday.

    The firm, 77% owned by Hongkong Land , expects demand for its mass- to mid-market condominiums will be fueled by the government's plan to woo more skilled foreign workers and boost the country's population to 6.5 million from 4.5 million.

    "The long-term prospect for Singapore's property market is good. You need to house that additional two million," Steve Chu, MCL Land's Chief Financial Officer, told Reuters in an interview.

    Singapore generated over 90% of MCL Land's earnings last year with the remainder coming from neighbouring Malaysia.

    Though private home prices in Singapore are at their highest levels in seven years, many of MCL Land's rival developers such as CapitaLand and Keppel Land are diversifying out of the country by building apartments, malls and offices in markets such as China and India.

    But Chu said the risk-returns of venturing beyond MCL Land's main markets of Singapore and Malaysia would not be attractive for a small firm that had a staff of about 30.

    "The current boom in Singapore has two to three more years to go before it eases off," Chu said, adding that Singapore private home prices could rise a further 15-20% this year.

    MCL Land has a market capitalisation of $654 million and is the 22nd-largest property firm among the 40 in Singapore's property index .

    Landbank

    Chu said MCL Land plans to spend up to S$600 million ($394 million) this year to grow its current landbank of about 1.6 million square feet of gross floor area.

    "We are actively looking for sites, particularly along the fringes of the core central area," he said.

    MCL Land's landbank acquisitions will be funded by cash from its home sales as well as bank financing.

    "We are comfortable with keeping our current debt gearing of 60% to equity," Chu added.

    MCL Land, which has tied up with rival developer Ho Bee Investment to develop two residential projects, has been approached by European and U.S. funds keen to invest in Singapore property.

    "We are not actively considering their offers as we haven't come across any large sites available for development yet," Chu said.

    Chu said MCL Land's 2007 net profit would easily exceed the US$30.5 million net profit it earned last year.

    "It will definitely be a much better performance than 2006," he said.

    Bucking the trend among Singapore property firms which reported strong first-quarter earnings growth, MCL Land posted a 75% fall in net profit for the three months ended March to US$1 million.

    Kim Eng Research analyst Wilson Liew said MCL Land's net profit figure was "deceptively abysmal" because the developer's unique accounting treatment of recognising its home sale profits only upon the completion of its projects.

    "MCL Land will reap the benefits of capital appreciation in the mass market," said Liew, who raised his target share price for the developer to S$3.23.

    MCL Land shares, which rose 0.75% to close at S$2.69 on Thursday, have gained 24% in the last three months, outperforming the 17% average gain of Singapore real estate stocks but underperforming the 33% increase chalked up by Ho Bee Investment over the same period.
