Owners in the West beware!!

Taiwanese grads are crap, I remember having to check the English of a masters dissertation for a Taiwanese friend studying M.Ed in UK n 90% of her script had grammatical n sentence construction errors n our elementary level kids can put her to shame in terms of writing standards. The university had the good sense not to pass her dissertation n awarded her only a pistgrad dip for her other substandard coursework.

have you tried speaking with them in mandarin instead?

Dont be a jerk, Taiwanese are more enterprising than Singapore in many ways.

Suddenly I realised something ...

We are going to get this denial for the next FOUR years ?!

When people start to see Bishan selling for lesser than Jurong - scream ice cream and defend!

When people start to see Thomson selling for lesser than Jurong - scream ice ice cream and defend!

When people start to see Clementi selling for lesser than Jurong - scream, scream scream ice cream and defend!

Okie! Boss go home liao! I also can pack and go home early today!

Who is visiting any showflats (that has MM) that is selling lower than the Jurong $1,6xx-$1,7xx, please post here! F1 over, so maybe this screaming can mimic some effects ...

Aaaaaarrrgghhhhhhh !

For comparative analysis, let see where Jurong stands among the median HDB resale transacted prices - nowhere near the top percentile, in fact Jurongeast is below the 50 percentile.

If you really believe in JLD potential and you have modest means - buy Jurongeast HDB.

If you really believe in JLD potential and you have lots of money - talk to institutional funds to invest in foreign workers dormitories - Jurong has the highest concentration of foreign workers dormitories in Singapore.

Buying Jgateway at 1,7xx psf has very small growth potential - the high psf sticks like a sore thumb among the modest resale HDB, or resale condos in the vicinity.

You should be looking at pace of growth for hdb aound jld instead of absolute number. If not you might be better off comparing orchard pc to juong . That way you will always be right and convincing.

hearsay that's because he can only shout vulgarities in hokkien. hearsay there was one time, he swear "fxxk u" in english, people gave him a puzzle look and then started laughing. from then on, only hokkien vulgarities, and only hokkien spoken in board meeting so that no secrets can be spoken in other languages.

family of feo, dont sue me hor. i repeat hearsay only

Don't make me resort to calling u an idiot. Such innate attributes are universal n it doesn't apply to Singaporeans only. I have come across countless British people who hv short tongue that can't pronounce words clearly. Try speaking to a Scottish with a cockney accent n you probably can't even make out what the hell he is saying but who r we to say their pronunciation is wrong as they have been speaking that way for hundreds of years.

If it is widely known in Singapore and even discussed openly, then I guess this handicap is endemic and unique in Singapore. Then, perhaps only surgery will help you guys speak English clearly. I throw up my hands.

[stalingrad]

What? If u hv a phd, i suggest u bin it. You mean you dont know that the ability to roll the tongue and how that affects word pronunciation is an innate attribute n u need to be a linguist to know that? This is in our elementary school syllabus under the topic 'From parents to young' n our eleven year olds know that better than u

I find what you said really interesting. So, it is excusable to not pronounce "th" and "l" correctly because it is an innate disability. Well, how about those who have an innate disability to do math. Are they also forgiven for that innate disability as well in Singapore? Where do you draw the line? No wonder so many kids graduate from high schools and come to our universities unable to communicate clearly. They have all being excused for having these exotic disabilities.

I am not sure whether what you said is true or not. But I don't think the problem is so wide-spread in any other country that they openly discuss it in elementary school syllabi.

Brudder, have u seen the ang mo speak Chinese???? Will they ever master perfection in Chinese???? Many ang mo now want to speak Chinese.... I was in shanghai world expo 2010 and us had a booth... U should listen to the ang mo speak Chinese.... Do we then belittle them for their pronunciation????

Can the Canadians speak Chinese fluently????

But have these ang mos spoken Chinese since grade 1? You guys have spoken "English" since Grade 1.

If there is a problem, try to solve it instead of get defensive and abusive when someone points out the problem for you.

Math is a subject that can be learned, how is Jamie Oliver going to ever pronounce words clearly n crisply even if u gv him a lifetime of training? It is dangerous to generalise as majority of Singaporeans can pronounce words clearly.

Many can't because you guys give them so many sorry excuses. I find it interesting that Singapore are adamant that each kid must learn math and science and learn them well. But there are so many sorry excuses when it comes to English. There is no excuse if you don't master your English. You have been speaking it since K1.

Try speaking english to a scottish, i dare say the pronunciation of an average educated Singaporean is much clearer n more accurate than them.

U mean you are new to American culture? Most of their kids are only interested in sex, drugs n booze, you expect them to gv up their freedom to hv the same culture as asians whereby industry n discipline are the cornerstones to our success?

You forgot the part "a scottish." He meant "a scot." But he is excused from speaking or writing English correctly. He has a certificate from the government for having a shorter tongue and thicker larnyx, hor.

I know you are under a lot of stress lately, but that doesnt mean could simply label kids as having mental problem just because they want to go visit playground. Perhaps a childless lonely soul like you who spend all night listening to Taylor Swift will never understand or perhaps experience the joy of kids in this life time.

Shame on you!!

heehee,
Stalingrad don't dare to reply your question, think you hit the nail on the head! Ouch!

Singapore has been trying to attract first-rate foreigners, but despite paying "golden peanuts", we are just getting 2nd-rate or even 3rd-rate foreign monkeys who think they are BIG SHOT and Singapore cannot survive without them!

By the way, what is PhD? Permanent Head Damage? We don't need more of such people with sanity problems. With so many of such people, no wonder we are seeing so many cases of sex with under-age girls, taking skirts upshot photos, and asking for anal sex etc! They are just beyond hope!

People tell me that only 2nd rate foreigners with PhD come to Singapore. Their first choice is always US but only first rate foreigners are able to get good jobs there. (This statement exclude Citizens & those who are already famous & then come here on super fat expat term & pay to head big organization of at least a few hundreds of people - the engineers & scientists drawing almost a million $ salary are them). What do you have to say about this? You belong to the former or the latter?

They are slowing the influx down.

Jem is closed for yet another weekend!
So dear readers, please dont try to go Jems, even after it open door again, do let others go and try out first, just in case.
Stay away for a while, there are other nicer places like Orchard Road. Hahaa!

Today's newspaper splashed with Sky Vue and Thomson Three going from (starting $1,350 psf!) ...

Buyers of Jurong MM at $1,6xx, BEWARE! You are buying at higher price than Bishan and Thomson!
