Where to find cheaper rental rates in Singapore

I read recently that some foreigners are paying more than S$20,000 per month for rental of their homes. Here's a tip where you can get much cheaper rental rates - at Balestier Regency located in the Balestier region. The rental rates for a 3 + 1 room apartment at Balestier Regency is going for less than S$2,000 per month. It is located behind a shopping mall with theatre and is only a 5 mins drive from the American Club. Balestier is also centrally located in Singapore.

Have a happy stay here in Singapore.
Best wishes to one and all.

Bank Interest Rates

Why can't banks have the same interest rates for fixed deposits whether it be renewal or fresh funds? It is mind boggling to have different interest rates for the above 2 mentioned categories. Loyal customers do not wish to be given lesser interest rates than for fresh funds. Why are banks penalising their loyal customers? Don't make sense to me.

What I think most people like about the United States

What I think most people like about the United States is their education system, their movies (some of them, those with some educational content), their innovation e.g. American Idol (this represents discovery of new talents), Survivor series, Extreme Fear, National Geographic, Oprah Winfrey Show (women's and other issues are frankly discussed on this program), etc.

How Insurance Companies can improve their business

Here are some suggestions for insurance companies to improve their business. Insurance companies can improve their business by giving their clients free, or subsidised yearly checkups or requiring clients to go for yearly checkups for cheaper insurance premiums. Insurance companies that follow the health of their clients yearly will likely have lesser payouts than those who don't. Insurance companies can tie up with health products companies and introduce these to their clients and offer health seminars for free or discounted rates to their clients and hence ensure that their clients are having the best of products and information available to keep a healthy lifestyle. For people who suffer from high blood pressure, if they know how to monitor their blood pressure daily or regularly, they can prevent a heart attack or stroke and avoid being paralysed.
