(The most beautiful Buddhist temple in my opinion)

The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple located near Sago Lane has to be one of the most beautiful Buddhist temple in Singapore in my opinion. Although I am not a Buddhist but I am spellbound by the architectural marvel of this building. The grandeur of the temple drew curious tourists from all over the world, with many striking their best pose in front of the temple for a memorable snapshot.

Lian Xin Vegan Restaurant 

For years, I never know there is a Vegan food court located in the basement of the temple. The entrance and signage to Lian Xin food court is not prominently displayed, a keen eye is needed to spot the entrance. I give it a nickname “Secret Vegan Foodcourt”. There are plenty of Vegan varieties which I never would have imagined. Besides the Vegetarian Bee Hoon and Mixed Rice(Caifan). There are Western Food and noodles to choose from. All desserts and drinks are available at $1 each. My plate of Vegetarian Bee Hoon and Coffee O costs $5. The Bee Hoon is well cooked, the Vegan Mutton Curry adds a layer of favour. The Vegan Goose(Fried Beancurd Skin) gives out a good crunch and the sweet and sour mock meat gives you cravings for more Bee Hoon. Overall, the food court serves good food at a very affordable price. The modern and clean dining hall gives the diners a pleasant experience. Lian Xin Vegan offers a little sanctuary in the heart of CBD where everyone can enjoy an inexpensive meal.

Buddhas of the World Museum

The temple also houses a Buddhas of the World Museum on the third level. I am fascinated by the many Buddha statues and Buddhism-related antiquities on display. Some artefacts date back as early as the 2nd century. The curatorial team for the museum did a wonderful job of showcasing and explaining the historical significance of the artefacts. Through donations from the public, the temple was able to bid for Buddhism-related auction held at Christie’s and Sotheby’s. The museum houses one of the largest collection of Buddha in Singapore. The Museum’s effort in telling and preserving historical Buddhist Relics is commendable. The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum is culturally stimulating to spend the afternoon.

Wolf Money(Portfolio update for end April 2024)part 1

  (Image credit The Star Media) (Swamp of people going into Shenzhen) Bye Singapore! Hi Malaysia, 2026 This write-up was inspired by a video posted on YouTube. The video talks about Hong Kong hollowing out by Shenzhen. The recent phenomenon of Hong Kongers going to Shenzhen to play, eat and stay is gathering pace with close to 2 millions making the crossing to Shenzhen during the recent Easter Holiday. That is close to 30% of the current HK population leaving for Shenzhen. With deflation taking root in China, things are much cheaper in Shenzhen. The poor economy in HK is another push factor with Hong Kongers trading down their consumption. One traveller from HK mentions his spending in the mainland only cost him 1/3 of the usual price he paid in Hong Kong. Hong Kongers are shopping at Sam’s Club in Shenzhen buying everything from groceries to electronics. The commentator interviewed restaurants and shop owners in HK, most experienced a 30% drop in sales during the holiday.  *T...

(The Death of the Singapore Stock Market) Great Eastern Holdings(extract from end of month portfolio update) Today we are here to attend the funeral of the Singapore stock market. Besides the low valuation suffered by our market participants, investors of our market have to navigate the complexity of low ball offers from majority shareholders. One would expect a local banking giant to lead as a beacon for good corporate governance. Unfortunately, they have decided to turn a blind eye and join the dark side of the forces, blatantly ignoring the IFA report to pay a fair price for GEH. I could have walked away quietly by accepting the offer for a gain in excess of 40% in 3 months, but I can’t walk away without my conscience pushing me to express my thoughts on this whole takeover saga. I started the journey by supporting Chin Woo. His leadership is top-notch. I think most minority shareholders will agreed, without Chin Woo’s effort, the minority would have been in a much inferior position...

   (Image credit: NLB archive: Singapore Press Holdings; An old article on OCBC previous takeover of GEH in 2006. Is the end game near for the longest takeover exercise in Singapore corporate history that stretches across two decades?) Great Eastern Holdings(extract from end May portfolio update) First of all before I go further, the views shared are mine, alone. It doesn’t reflect anybody views and it is also not to undermine the good work of the independent financial advisors which are been tasked to assess the fairness of this voluntary unconditional general offer by OCBC. Kindly do take my commentary with a pinch of salt given my vested interest in GEH. My view shouldn’t be taken as cardinal truth on what you should do with your GEH shares. Kindly do your own due diligence and seek professional advice. I praise and thank OCBC for starting the ball rolling with this privatisation offer. I believe the bank is capable of doing more for Great Eastern’s minorities. The offer of...
