(Image credit: The Strais Times; The headline speaks for themselves) (Image credit: National Archives; Old Centrepoint MCDONALD’S) Orchard Wow, Orchard Woes For those born in the 70s and 80s. We remember Orchard as the go-to place for all things cool. Centrepoint McDonald to meet your friends. Plaza Sing for movie, followed by shopping at Takashimaya and FIRE disco to dance the night away. Every weekend, “let’s go Orchard” became second nature to a lot of people after a tough week studying. Orchard was the place with the Wow factor. This was a treasured location for many youth growing up during my era.  Just look at Orchard Now. FIRE disco was long gone, together with the Centrepoint McDonald. Takashimaya downsizing to it smaller footprint. Orchard is now seen as an expensive place to go. In the eyes of many, going to Orchard now confine to the festive season for admiring the beautiful Christmas lighting. Going to Orchard now feels passé. When the clock struck 9pm. There are visibl...

  (Image credit: Universal Pictures; Jaafar Michael in the movie, Michael) Space “ Jam ”(Scam) Scams are everywhere. The legit and the illegal. “ Remember the Time ” when a friend named “ Billie Jean ” sold you an investment that promised high return. Money gone and the friend no where to be found. At least for regulated products, investors still have legal recourse through Fidrec or the court. Some scams are hard to detect. They are sold with no clear definitions in “ Black or White .” Most scams disguise as unregulated investment, operating within the grey zone. All scams should be dealt with extra care. If the amount lost is small, it creates uncertainty over one’s ability to trust. If the amount is big, it creates a financial black hole, causing stress and eventually self-destruction. I was told of a business opportunity by a close friend. He has nothing to do with the scheme. He is a people person who enjoys meeting new people. My friend is in an organisation promoting busines...

  (Source: MAS) The result of SSBs came as no surprise. $179.4m found buyer. Our 10-year SGS is slowly moving up higher towards its 52 weeks range. It is just a few base off the year high. Our 10-year SGS is mimicking higher yields across the globe. One suggestion I can give, is for MAS to look into an increase the 200k limit per CDP account. More than $16m would have been able to buy SSBs if not for the per issue or total limit.  It has been more than 10 years since MAS adjusted the upper limit on SSBs. An increase to 300k per account will be needed to keep pace with money supply. There will be a bump up in yields for next month SSBs. Good luck and God Bless.
