Can you make a video about a foolproof cashless lifestyle in Malaysia like ewallet, bill payment, and etc .
Did u reply me and contact you? Received a Highlighted message asking me to reachout to you.
I had 1 case too and was 'pestered" to get into investment 😑
Same same but different lah 👻
can't say for raising a kid but for adult expenses, I think Singapore is cheaper than KL before this inflationary period. I see KL street food in a coffee shop already about 10-15 ringgit the last time I went there while singapore is about 2-6 sgd. If we assume we earn the same amount of sgd and ringgit then singapore cost of living actually quite affordable one
$1 to $1 SG is more liveable then MY. With the current inflation rate in MY, makes living even harder 😔
10-15 ringgit= 4 dollar. U cant really get that in CBD area in SG anymore.
U try to rent a house in SG in CBD , u will know what i meant. A master room is at least 2k sgd nowadays
@@KK-jq5yx He is talking abt a general case whereas you are zooming in on a particular situation. So as a fellow Sporean, I wld say what he said made sense and in line wif what I think as well. Mind you, I work in Msia and therefore have the experience to do the comparison.
@@marktan8074 general case?
if general enough, then u need to include rental as part of the cost of living comparison.
coffee shop that served you hawker food is considered as an inexpensive restaurant in KL as they own the whole place and do not share their rent with other vendors and price for sure will be higher. Just like SG restaurant heavenly wang or killney that also served hawker food, but price is more expensive than hawker center. The real hawker center in KL consists of many vendors in a shop lot just like the hawker center in SG. I don't know which one u went to, the one I went to is always around RM 7-8
if you bother to check the numbeo cost of living website, you can see that after factoring the salary and cost of living, the local purchasing power in SG is only 8% more than KL . Dont let your pride cloud your judgement =)
U will have baby bonus but do u culculate the medical bill and cost of a plate of chicken rice...as well hdb price ...most of all the rising of social priblems
Medical is heavily subsidised in SG. Chicken rice now still can get $3.50. BTO price is still very affordable.
@@Jack-hy2ki dont you forget the family is gaining profits for their grandchildren in overseas...its a regime controlling u guys...its a profiting business run by pte ltd family...not mention the person ...hope you understand

Are your kids PURE blood Malay or at least looking like one? If Yes, Malaysia is THE obvious answer. Other than this very specific circumstance, it’s Singapore any day of the week.
agree with you bro hak melayu
lol what a bs
@@razr8468 As a Chinese Indonesian growing up in the New Order era, I can of course relate on how painful it can be for non-Malay Malaysian to live there. Heck, I’d even encourage them to connect to their relatives back in Tangshan and prepare for the worst, i.e relocate out of Malaysia to China. Past BN governments have been rather accomodative to non-Malays. Things are vastly different nowadays of course. I’m rather doubtful BN can be that accomodative again…
@@hsheuw wanna have same privilege as bumiputera? No hal bro. Shut down all vernacular school because only through in education the gap between races can be eradicate. But, I think many of non bumiputera is not ready on that.
@@nadinefred752 I agree with you my friend with these following conditions:
1. English MUST be the main language of instruction for all subjects
2. Religions must be completely removed from school environment
3. Full removal of Malay-first quotas in public Universities to level the playing field for all races and ensure only the brightest pupils gets to enter.
I’m sure you will find all of the above agreeable, right ? 😜
That is if you are not another of those 3Ms (Malas, Manja and MINDER = suffering inferiority complex).
It is incorrect to say that Malaysia is 481 times the size of Singapore, hence the Malaysia government will need to invest 481 times of money to develop the nearby amenities for the Malaysia housing areas. Huge part of Malaysia is covered by natural forest, vegetations and industrial areas - all these should be subtracted to derive the actual "live-able" housing estates' area.
I agree. Australia is 23 times bigger than msia yet every housing area has basic amenities similar to SG within a reasonable distance. Poor planning and corrupt politician is the culprit
Singapore don't have 1MDB and SRC where they don't have to service their ex prime minister's debts until 2039. All that money can e used as child support for itz citizens.
By developing amenities the govt also creates jobs for ths population in the vicinity. Countries like Malaysia & Indonesia always use land area when comparing anything with Singapore.
@@simonchua6251 In addition to this, the govt chose to keep opening up new lands for development instead of making better use of land in existing development. Hence everything is very spread out. The pro is they therefore have cheaper housing. But the con is due to the lower populatio density it does not make sense to have lots of amenities. And they need to be very car reliant too. Works well when you still can rely on govt subsidized fuel and hence you take everything for granted... Wait till the country runs out of cheap petrol some day and the lackbof petrol subsidy will be a tcking time bomb.
For working couples in singapore, they have to put their kid in infrant care or child care which can be easily 600-800 per mth. Not like what Kelvin mentioned its only milk and diapers. Raising a kid up till their university in sg can be up to 500k to 1M, which was published in newspaper years ago.
Yeah very misleading
Childcare in Singapore is alot cheaper than in Malaysia considering they have subsidised childcare. Primary to Junior colledge/Diploma is extremely cheap. University is relatively cheap too if you enroll into public schools (around 30k for the entire curriculum).
@@kiki-qk5mj Subsidised has alot of caveats, not all qualify for the full benefits. Putting kid into the public system is one thing, how about their tution and after school care (for working parents)? Not all parents have the luxury to work from home (to have time to fetch their kid and tutor themselves) or even afford to be a single incomer in this high pressure environment. Cost in sg is raising rapidly also, look around and do u still agree with low cost of living than in MY? Reality check is cruel sometimes.
This video is Misleading.
Don’t be fooled. What the interviewee said about “cheap” is SUBJECTIVE to individuals and are half truths about the grants. There are MANY terms and conditions regarding the housing grants and it’s not a fix amount. KEY WORD: “UP TO so and so amount”. He ALSO conveniently failed to mention that public housing in Singapore are only up to 99 years. Basically the average Singaporeans don’t own much of anything or even enough to give to their next generation when they pass on.
singapore is to live but malaysia is to survive. Imagine still can get a sgd 3.50 kolomee but kl is now costing about 10 ringgit. coffee 1.30 sgd but malaysia one cup is 2.70. houses simply cost you 300k for rumahawip. singapore transport mrt and bus malaysia need own car. earning same just different currenncy.
The cpf we used for child birth not from our retirement fund but from our medical fund.
Our CPF has 3 accounts before 55. 1 account for house, 1 account for retirement and 1 for medical.
Nice content! Singapore also has maternity leave for mothers (16 weeks paid leave), empowered by Government
Woah even leave longer. Malaysia 98 days I think.
Father also have paternity leave now. I missed this because I was a new father long time ago. My time only wife got maternity leave and father no leave.
Paternity leave in SG now is 10 days.
@@MrMoneyTV Singapore govt partly pays for the maternity leave, which is fair. Whereas in Msia, the govt just decrees the length of time and it is the employer that ends up paying for all these. Put yourself in the shoes of a boss for a change... if Msia wins some football match the govt plays the angel and decrees a public holiday. That's so easy to do but you as the boss pays for it. If the govt says maternity is now 4mths, you too will end up paying for it. And the govt gets away being an angel whereas you become a bastard if you dun or can't pay up.
I really doubt that Singapore is cheaper to raise kids than Malaysia. 30 years ago when I studied in Singapore already witnessed the tension of raising a child in Singapore . Tuition fees was S$100 per subject 30 years ago . Singapore govt subsidy also cannot cover their high living cost . Currently Singapore is moving towards the standards of Hong Kong .
Tuition is niche, how much does Malaysia tuition cost?
@@valuabletips560 back in 80s should be rm40 per subject. While Singapore that time was S100 per subject
For my kids tuition in SG , only $60 per subject for 1.5hrs , some more 1 to 1
@@valuabletips560in 2017, my tuition fee almost rm400 per month
@@soojerry3229 depends on the tuition teacher . Good one can be S$200 per subject
Next content, malaysian whos working in singapore, singaporean whos working in malaysian and living/transit daily; vice versa as well
Singapore has world class education
But not many foreign student study there. Why?
@@toreditahrin3717 they do actually have a lot
@@danishjumari2870 more than 200k foreign student in Malaysia before pandemic. Singapore?
I have 2 kids in Singapore. Just as what they said, it is affordable if you are Singaporean. Everything is nearby. Childcare, School, clinics, playground, library, grocery, food court and all you can think of.. and there are easily 3-4 every of them nearby except for library. kids friendly place to grow up. Cost of living to raise kids is cheaper as currency is strong. Buy diaper, milk powder and books from Malaysia and ship to SG to save more.
Actually NLB can be in almost everyone's phone. Can borrow ebooks/audio books.
After visiting Singapore and talking to locals, it really changed my perspective on things.
If cheap in Singapore u still need buy diapers, milk powder & books from Malaysia?!!!. Just walk & buy from neighborhood more logical. Not dragging your ass across the Causeway for this things. BTw, don't forget to spend them allowance SGD$10 daily from your pocket. Good luck!
@@peteryong123 actually all the survey or report about sg being expensive are bullshit lah. Those who wrote the survey and reports got all information online and nv stayed in sg before. Then happily wrote a report based on online information sitting in his/her office in which ever country he/she at but definitely not in sg then submit via email, approved via email, post and wait for salary.
@@josephkokch malaysia diaper cost almost RM160 to RM180 for 6 packs and milk powder also almost RM200 a tin. Sg diaper cost $70+sgd for 6 packs and $60-$70sgd a tin.
$10sgd pocket money can have 2 to 3 meals. RM10 pocket money only 1 meal.
SG not cheaper than Malaysia? Remember Don't convert hor. Cos Sgprean earns 3k to 4k sgd and malaysian Don't earn RM9k to 12k for the same job and same position.
Nonsense comparison.SG attracts foreign talents so proudly and why so if their education is world class. Why import talents? Facepalm. This arguments are crap. An old man in Malaysian Kampung leaves behind land and property for his next generation, worthy piece of wealth. A SG old man leaves behind his pigeon hole HDB flat use for nothing to the govt not for his future generation. Who is the wealthier person here? Worth to take note this videos is full of Chinese logic and not other races of the 2 major ones.
that is very true. 10k is barely enough for working couple meeting ends needs with serving housing loan, car loans and basic necessities. an addition to the family will be struggling.
CPF is split into three pots - Ordinary (used for housing, education and eventually moved to retirement), Special (for retirement) and Medisave (for medical). So technically taking money for medical needs such as delivery comes from a different pot. Doesn’t affect your retirement fund.
Also there is a cap on how much you can use your cpf to pay for delivery. It’s not the full amount.
and yes you can use your CPF for housing.
Using CPF for medical or housing doesn’t affect your retirement account which is in Special Account( untouchable until you are 65 years old.
Another thing is Ordinary account pays 2.5 % interest and Special account pays 4% interest. If you have a healthy CPF contribution when you retire you can get( possibly) $1400( at least).
Yes can use CPF for house, but when you sell, you need to put it back :)
You meant same price?

Where you find this fella?... Always"quite cheap" r lying. Did he really have kids going Singapore school? We in Singapore need to buy tons of new books each year. Tuition fees primary 6 will make u sweat. Medical care also overcharge with excuse of "subsidized". Besides, don't forget gomen force u to buy insurance at a very young age...

Hi oppy IB. Come here spread lies and fake news like your idols from opposition party hah.
Maybe u should move to malaysia.
walao, i'm 42 and i have seven kids. kalau kt spore dah berapa banyak dpt duit nih.. huhuhu
Fully agree that the minimum cost to raise a kid in sg is cheaper in sg, but I guess this is not the average cost for many parent!
I think unless your kid is very smart, or parent just simply do not care, or you have time lots of time to coach your kids by your own, else you have to pay for the high tuition fee in sg. (Generally ranging from sgd 180-500/mth a subject for primary, not even to mention for secondary) If your kid have interest in music/ art/etc, parent has to fork out expensive fee for those. (For piano, generally ranging from sgd 180-350/mth for G1 - diploma for piano)
I am not those kiasu parent and must get the kids to go to top schools or must be top in the class. However, when you see your kids struggling with studies or a specific subject, I guess most of the parent will definitely do something. I am an ex-Malaysian and completed my primary & sec in MY. I have to say the current Singapore syllabus is much tougher compare to my old time. Tuition has nearly become an essential item in SG.
Btw, Secondary school fee is not free for all school. If your kid manage to get in to top schools (mostly independent school) eg. Nanyang, Raffles Girl school, and many more. The parent has to pay 300++ per mth for the school fee, as the school is not fully funded by gov. But of course parent has a choice to choose those public/ autonomous school which only need to pay 20-30++/mth of school fee.
300 sgd / month for Singapore standart so cheap isnt it?
In Jakarta private school usually cost 200 sgd/month with avarage salary of 500-1000 / month (middle class), so heck yeah Jakarta school prices 🤣🤣
Malaysia is free till form 6 but as usual kiasu is not only common in Singapore. 😂. Malaysia quality of edu definitely need reviews. But I gathered Singapore streaming was done too early and gave kids lots of pressure. This may affect creativity in the long run, not sure if it’s correct info
You make Singapore sounds like a Lala land. But a lot of Singaporeans left the country for Aussie, Canada, NZ and Malaysia too and the birth rate dwindles from year to year.
Yeah but SGeans usually move to those countries for retirement not for work, when they’ve already felt they made enough cash. The dwindling birth rate is the reason the SG government gives money to its citizens in the first place. SG is still one of the best places in the world to work.
@@FF-ch9nr 30 years old news. Even SG Indians leaving the country. Only good place for chinese
Singapore birth rate ranks one of the lowest in the world, what does it tell you?
Malaysia banyak bahan mentah ,tetapi hahaha paham je lah,xblh ckp apa?hihi,
Malaysia is about to have a small population as well. I'm in my 20s and many of my married friends are either planning to have no kids or to have limited (1-2) amount of kids due to the increasing living cost.
Great discussion guys! But I still go Manjaku to buy milk bottles, go Popular to buy books and go Fanpekka for playground 🤣
Lol...last week took my daughter to Fanpekka....compare with size of playground is cheaper than Sg.. but if I earn Rm is quite expensive..Rm 68 for kids 2yr above and Rm 12 for adults.
Malaysia inflation is 2.8% while Singapore 7.0%
Please do a fair comparison between Singapore Public Housing and Malaysia Public Housing. All parts of your video was on Malaysia Private Housing.
SG got baby bonus & education top up fund for every students 🤔
With all these govt subsidies, I’m still left with the question: Then why won’t Singaporeans have babies?
I live in Lahad Datu, Sabah. It ain't not mont kiara but the house cost over 6xx-1m
raise kids in sarawak, way cheaper.
Haha maybe we should do a comparison of living cost in Sarawak vs KL
@@MrMoneyTV +1
If you want to compare, you just need to use Singapore to Kuala Lumpur only. The rest of the country is irrelevant, because Singapore had no rural area or villages to compare. Don't kid yourself using rural village to metropolition Singapore.
i think it's called the proximity grant. not possibility grant. was wondering what's possibility grant
Haha yes! It was an error on our side 😂 sorry about it
no la singapore where got most 6k to 8k..... below 5k ada la. Lol. Above all, i think malaysia downfall is just the gov planning failed. You know how big is japan.... you know how much trainstation they have? I wish malaysia have that too. Imagine from sg, can go johor and entire johor have many trainstation wooh..... and each trainstation nearby have housing, mall and education centre etc...... it'll be a long time investment but, wouldn't that be nice? More tourist can come, and yeah. Singapore rich ok jer la.... but end of each year, malaysian pay tax money, altogether the funding kan more than sg hahahaha. Yeah.
I find the content is just touching surface and not going into details. Technically if u r racing a kid if u r the bottom 20%, yes it will be cheap, very cheap 😂😂😂
It is hard only for certain people to have kids. Go outside there are still many family with 4-5 kids. More kids means the parents need to earn more to sustain the cost of living. Then they cry out why they are poorer than those with just 1 kid. Then they cry out why their children outcompete by some other kids. They don't see the fact that if only 1-2 kids only family, most of their parent earning will concentrate on those 1-2 kids only. So they can afford better lifestyle, better education, better resources versus those with 4-5 kids, same amount of earning will divide further by 4 or 5. Do the maths
Ironically Singapore still has one of the lowest birth rate in the world. Weird right? Statistics can't be wrong.
Low birth rates is mostly attributed to higher income (Developed nations tend to lead in terms of declining birth rates), it has less to do with the costs of raising of a child, at least relatively.
@@theplaylistpsycho You assumed all Singaporeans has high income, which is not true. The middle/low income groups of people forms the majority of the population. Therefore their reason for not having kids cannot be because they have higher income. Walk around Singapore, talk to the little people, they will still tell you its cost. Not the direct cost but there are plenty of indirect cost. Whichever, Singapore tops the lowest birth rate among developed nations.
@@ivanteo1973 No one's making assumptions around GDP per capita and median income figures lol.
Name me a developed nation's where it's majority population is not its respective low/middle income group, this isn't unique to SG. Most income and wealth distributes closely resembling a Pareto distribution.
Well yeah I guess you can go to Malaysia and talk to people about the indirect costs of raising a kid (Great method to steer towards non-productive conversations).
Boleh jer nak tiru Singapura. Tapi kerajaan kita ada banyak ketirisan.
I dont get it . When SG does it, its small. Small got nothing cam still best bigger country, something not right
cost of living in rural area is catching up to urban area 😢
so sad right...
03:41 481x more investment from Malaysia to reach Singapore level of amenities does not make sense. Firstly, Malaysia does not have 481x the population of Singapore, more like 6x of Singapore. Hence not every single piece of land need to be developed. Need to acknowledge that the cost is definitely more than 6 times as amenties need to connect between areas.
Same same but different lah
Is not just money lah
You guys are already very lucky having such a great environment. Nice weather. Natural resources (gas, oil, palm oil etc). Many Korean parents want to raise their kids in Malaysia. 😉
With all the resources that Malaysia have, but msia is still poorer than sg. How does it make sense?
Those gas, palm oil don't belong to the ppl but corporations or Govt who hv their "political donations " 😂
@@wilshen1992 bcoz we have a poor mindset government.. that’s why..
Yes we are very lucky but many Malaysian are like to complaint. We are not working like hell compare to people in developed country but we still have enough food on the table. When a durian season coming we sell durian to China and happily get the money without doing much work. Same goes to palm tree owner, every 15 days they harvest and get easy money. Everyone got car.
U again with the same answer 😂
Love this man... and the way you put forth is so entertaining. 🤭😊👍
I disagree with him. Dear Malaysians, SGD 200,000 gets you a 800sqft 2 Bedroom house, how to rear a family? Minimum need 900sqft, 3 Bedroom. Singapore you want get the 100,000 subsidy, you wait long long.
Then you have to clear more land to build houses, more landslides, and floods, own land + house but destroyed regularly.
@@caiwutian2493 honestly it's that Malaysian urban planning is nonexistent. Places you should not build you build. Places where a lot of green sponges are being developed, no drain. Then all the big tree that regulate the temperature and water all being chopped. Won't say Singapore does a ok job, but it doesn't look as jialat as when I drive through KL.
@@MrBoliao98 Actually Singapore's greenery was 36% in 1980s and now it's more than 47%. The citizens demanded more green space for humans and wildlife so I think Singapore is doing a pretty decent job in that aspect. The tree planting program is still very strong and should a tree be cut down a tree without approval, it's SDG10K/tree if I remember well.
@@caiwutian2493 but the paradox is that due to redevelopment in older estate, 50 60 year old Angsana and ficus trees are chopped down, and then the whole places looks like the Cheras highway so hot.
Developed vs developing nation.
How much time do Singaporeans have to spend with children compared to Malaysians tho?
That one I dunno 😂 maybe should have asked kelvin
Dont ask. Singaporeans are build to eat sleep and work.
Kelvin here. I can't speak for the entire SG. But for me and my friends, we usually knock off at 6pm, the rest of the time are for kids
Mostly Singaporean works only 5 days a week ; no work in weekend .
@@cpl151 actually that's a myth. Most people knock off at 6pm. Sure there are some who works late but these tends to be foreigners or those who are aiming for that promotion. The rest of us knock off sharp at 6pm
I believe that Malaysians that have a household income below RM 10,000 / month should not have children. What is the point in sacrificing your lifestyle and still cannot provide the best for the child? Get your money right first and life becomes much simpler no matter which country. That's why we are here watching Mr Money right?

I wonder why need always compare malaysia to singapore.... Its clear enough to know Singapore is like a city compare to Malaysia more larger than city based.
I confinement in confinement centre in Klang valley, I met this mum, she is a Malaysian but work and marry in Singapore.. she still come back Malaysia for delivery and confinement.. I was thinking maybe Singapore is expensive medically to delivery there.. this make me wonder why she deliver in Klang valley price range 15 k her total bill she shared to me the info..that is 5 years ago
Better don't compare with Singapore even to follow the method if difficult for Malaysia because schedule plan always delay time.
Yes, briefly, CPF can be used to pay for your home
20% cpf, 5% cash if taking bank loan, if its hdb loan, 25% can be from cpf
The more kids you have, the more government give you, this also apply to Malaysian, just you must be Malay🤣
House is cheap in Singapore? HDB is a flat not a house. Vey misleading statement. But a real house is definitely cheap in sungai petani.
Mr. Money pls educate some dilussioned ppl DO NOT convert currencies but based on dollar to dollar. These are the product of failed govt education
If u live away from KL, u don't get the same salary.... so - it's back to square one...
Proximity grant, not possibility grant. And yes we can use Cpf to pay the down-payment after the grants. And the loans can get from HDB which is cheaper interest rate.
I think to compare, you have to also compare the standard of living. E.g. most families with kids have a car for transportation. Once you factor that in I am sure it is more costly than msia. One can argue that car is not a need and sg has gd public transport. So it depend on what kind of standard of living you are comparing
Should compare a bunch of rotten banana with fresh orange. Obviously can see which country belong to which type of fruit
seriously, i as a singaporean always thought malaysia is way way cheaper
Haiyah.. if you ask us which country is cheaper and comment down here then no need this video laaa.. 😋 joking oni haa hahahahahahhaa
About the HDB.. its all 99 year lease. In Malaysia mostly it’s freehold. If u can compare housing based on that it would be great. Like what is the value of the hdb when the lease is like 30 years left vs a freehold in Malaysia.
Yea people do make the mistake of only looking at the upfront cost. Worse is that housing construction cost is much cheaper in SG. 1st due to state monopoly of land and the concentration of specialisation and competition in construction. Its not like the houses are much bigger nor are the new neighbourhoods more livable. So there is a degradation of standard of living within the generations plus the increase of cost.
Many places in Malaysia property is losing money after few years of living.
@@Jack-hy2ki Not necessarily a bad thing. Its only recently do we treat property as we do now. Rising prices only benefit the state due to increase demand for their currency and the people who flipped and got the surplus.
@@mokhtaramran7041 u probably don't own any property. Lol.

@@Jack-hy2ki Rude. But isn't '08 and the recent property crash in China have thought us anything? No one wants their property to depreciate, oh asswipe! You don't need to own anything to know that. But the idea of real estate has changed ever since the rise of the middle class and the breakdown of Bretton Woods in 1971.
i believe Kelvin is referring to Proximity grant instead
In China, parents pour all their resources into one child. So family income spread thin when we have more children. So long it is bearable rather than thinking it is affordable should be ok. I have 3 children in my family.
My personal experience? They attended govt-aided school from primary to secondary school. Almost literally free because of the Edusave awards they have achieved at different stages in their respective education. This is to show the low cost in education when they are younger. Once move up from secondary, school fees fly much higher. Seemingly, this cost a million to rise a child in SG. Having said this, it is possible to repay study loans between 5 to 7 years with high starting wages in SG.
I was born in the late 60s so was encouraged to purchase insurance to cover children's education which was helpful - not forced saving but a discipline one.
Everyone in everywhere is feeling the stress from the overall cost of living going up. The question should be - are we getting better living moving forward?
BTW, SG housing has appreciation values. NO need freehold, 99 years is one way govt is telling us we are cared for in our lifetime. We felt assured and blessed. Thank you
Prima not everyone can buy
Singaporeans become more valuable in such case for Malaysian at least
1 min 15sec - its proximity grant fyi
There are more than 2m ex Malaysian and Malaysian working or migrant there means Singapore is cheaper and better .
Nonsense, Malaysians will you they work in SG because earning is 3X. That the main reasons.
learn something new about financial life
30 over years ago in spore when i hd my 1st child..only things like education n medical is subsidised but today after my daughters gv birth to my grandchildren then i realised how much cash top up by gov n also really shocked by the cash subsidies given by gov for housing now.
Younger generation hv so much benefits now but all still dun wan to hv more children cos reason given is wanting to gv their child more quality stuff n also personal time for parents themselves. Well guess Sg wasn so well off back then😅
30 yrs ago car is 30K. Salary is 3K above.
But last time HDB was very cheap. My 4 rm in Yishun from HDB cost 41K in 1981. Now resale average 450K. Now 4 rm BTO in Yishun starting price at 320K-418K. Now life is more complicated so if no help from the government, the younger generation cannot make it.😅
The subsidy got me laughing so good.
What happen at sarawak
Hi Mr Money TV. Singaporeans can choose to use the Ordinary Account portion of our CPF to pay for housing loans. The trade off is that we have less interest earned in our Ordinary Account for our retirement needs. If we sell the house, we need to repay the principal amount taken from CPF + accrued interest which the principal would have earned. This money from the sale of the house will have to be paid back into our Ordinary Account. So, there are trade offs involved in using CPF to pay for housing, which may be sold in a few years time due to upgrading / downgrading.
Lucky got accru interest. If not my OA will be stagnant when I use cpf to buy house.
Sg gov is smart.
if i ever have a kid i want to send them to school in Singapore.
Singapore birth rate ranks one of the lowest in the world, what does it tell you?

Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
I don't know who really needs to hear this, you need to stop saving money. Invest some of it, if you really want financial freedom....
Now is the best time to remind y'all, investment is key!If you don't manage your funds, one day you'll wake up to nothing.
🤦🤦🤦🤦
Brilliant collab!

@@TransportationONLY Too many ,i release hundred at local river.see i even help destroy the environment.
@@azax3813 Whoops.
Very PC answers. Unbelievable.
My question is why singaporean also run to another country like australia, nz and etc? If very thing is cheap and affordable?
personally I think everyone thinks the grass is greener. on the other hand, Singapore can be rather stressful when it comes to working life. I guess that's why?
@@peteryong123 Its becos of better opportunities and prospect.
True, raising kids in Msia is more expensive ,example - education - national education is a joke therefore sending kids to private school is mandatory to be educated.

Talking about amenities, there are two surau within 1km in my living area where you can clearly listen to their praying day and night time everyday. The third ons is coming at my opposite my house within 1 km too. Is it neccessary ? We are still living in 20th century
A childcare centre or a mini libraby would be more appropriate
do u live in malaysia or singapore
what is that suppose to mean?
if u live in malaysia with kelvin's lifestyle i dont think u need 10k rm. Kelvin is a very humble guy who lives very humbly
Agreed that he is a nice and humble guy. As for living cost in KL, RM10k is not a lavish lifestyle if u need to pay for ur own house, car n daycare for kids
just dont live in KL...
Singapore is beautiful Chinese city. I am proud to be Chinese.
Hello. Singapore belongs to all races not only chinese.
I am telling u off as a chinese.
@@Jack-hy2ki You cant be chinese. real chinese will defend china and will feel himself belong to china. you are banana at best
Please go back to China to support covid lockdown, you are not needed in SG. Your missions are in China, not here. SG got too much covid cases and is not safe. Once again, please go back to China, the safest country on earth.
can you guys make for comparison for Australia with Malaysia also
