    I heard casino's intend to hire lots of locals.
    Won't they already be living here & have current accommodation? How will this increase demand?

    I have never bought into the IR = property boom.

    so buying to rent to IR related is just not there

    i miss those days. My grandad used to have those old kampung + chicken thingie in the east side - so much space, can fly kit using fishing line, got durian, rambutan, mango tree etc etc, can play soccer with my cuzs and the eurasian neighbours. heck he even had a goat - used the milk to chong kopi on demand type.

    Then govt came, paid him peanuts, gave him a landed hdb thingamagig, and took back everything.

    yup my grandad and my mum was! (i'm half teochew, but spent all my time growing up on the teochew side)

    those were the fun days - even had those taoist priests you see in mr vampire doing stunts for the kampung, and he would always one-on-one with the bomoh. according to my mum, although different races stay same kampong, got a lot of strife esp in the 60-70s coz the chinese/eurasians were far better off than the malays.

    yes

    i remember ..we were in only family in the kampung to have 3-4 cars in our garden ..massive garden.. 3 rambutan trees left to right , not touch each otehr .. durian, even sour sop .. ..my grandma and grand dad's birthday celebrations were always held in the garden .. engaged 'tao chew' to come and cook ..
    my bro and i used to play tennis ..'sand court' ahhaha

    and my granny's favorite Teochew wayang records ..those day the famous actresses were from HK ...singing teochew songs..

    and i could hear them miles away .. which was awful ..

    and our neighbours were really happy with us ..

    we didnt have a nice house ..just big , and big land .. 4 toilets, 2 indoor, 2 outdoor ahhaha those that you dig a deep hole type ..

    good memories ..
