Home – the most valuable asset of our life. The place where one finds peace of mind and cherishes moments spent with the loved ones. When we invest all our hard earned money to make that house, we need to have a protection against unexpected casualties.
Now, imagine you are at your workplace and you receive a call that your house is ablaze. One would obviously panic at this situation. One would go wild thinking about the valuables and other belongings inside the house? Is all gone? What to do now?
The modern history of Ang Mo Kio – or AMK as the locals often call it – realy begins in 1973 when development started on the previously forested and farmed land. The new town, located in the North-East Region of the island, was to become the HDB’s 7th satellite town, and notably was the first to be built in the then new metric dimensions. Covering an area of 27 hectares, the town is comprised of 7 neighbourhoods, and won the esteemed Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) Outstanding Buildings Award three years after it was fully completed, in 1983.
The prices of the property market in China increased in the previous month. The property market is a huge contributor to the growth of China’s economy. The strategy introduced to reduce the demand were not effective in controlling the increase.
In China, prices of home in the main cities went up by 0.6% in comparison to February,2017. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the prices in 15 cities were stable. But the prices for latest homes in 3rd-tier cities increased by 0.4%.
Natural ventilation – simply opening the windows or doors, and allowing the natural flow of air to cool and freshen the interior of a building or room – is often the preferred choice for many people. For a variety of reasons however, mechanical ventilation is often needed as an alternative or at least an addition especially in certain rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens. This is especially the case in a place such as Singapore and in South East Asia in general, where firstly the temperatures tend to be high year round, and secondly the humid conditions mean that the air contains high quantities of water vapour meaning it is not ideal for drying wet or damp rooms.
One of life’s frustrations could be consigned to history – or at least reduced – with the advent of Mechanical Parking Systems (MPS) which are currently being trialled in Singapore. A relatively common sight in Japan, and one that is already used in several hotels and private condominiums in Singapore, the system is being considered by the HDB to see if it is something that would be worth rolling out to more, or even all of its car parks.
Lawrence Wong, Minister for National Development in Singapore is of the view that the existing technology used for developing the buildings needs to be changed as they will be no longer sustainable in the longer run.

In response to the Committee on the Future Economy’s (CFE) acknowledgement of a changing emphasis in the way companies are operating in terms of embracing new technologies, combined with a further push towards realising the government’s Smart Nation initiatives, it was announced that Punggol North would become an Enterprise District, and the first on the island where new planning concepts will be introduced.
The CFE recognised that in today’s dynamic industrial environment, more and more companies are collaborating with both academic institutions and other companies in order to develop and utilise new technology. Furthermore, the so-called live-work-play-learn environments that have started to become a feature of business parks create the vibrant conditions that play a major role in attracting and retaining bright new talent, which in turn leads to innovation.

To invest or not to invest, that is the question often at the forefront of people’s minds when it comes to the property market in Singapore. Admittedly it has been a rough time over the last few years, but recent indications are that there may well be improvements along the way, in the shape of some easing of the cooling measures introduced by the government. That is far from guaranteed at this juncture, but regardless of that, several experts are predicting that property prices will bottom out this year. If this is the case it will mean it is the perfect time to invest.
