Thanks for the wonderful advice - @smoulder , @malcontent , @Max Headroom , @Wd40

Glad I asked here..after your advice I've been reading up and watching youtube videos which also helped a lot understanding the index funds. And yes i think my investment method is kinda of outdated cos I realised my stock price come down immediately after div dates. So that's not a good method.

I'll be exploring Index Funds from now on, please share any more tips if you do have...

Maybe next question: What are your preferred choices of ETF - SPY, QQQ...? Or which one, and why..?
❱❱

In general, SPY and QQQ are only appropriate for US persons because they are taxed punitively to foreigners.

The equivalent ETF to SPY that is appropriate for non-US persons is CSPX traded in London.

However, the ETF that is most recommended is ISAC which covers what is included in CSPX and the rest of the world, all in one, simple, tax and fee efficient .....

Understanding PR implications on family future

Hi all,

I'm a non-married expat currently living in Singapore, and I'm considering applying for PR. Before I move forward, I’d like to better understand the potential long-term implications—especially regarding my future family.

I’m aware that second-generation male PRs are subject to NS, but I’m unclear on how exactly that applies. My main concern is ensuring that my future children have agency over their own choices and are not bound by decisions I make today. Should my child want to do NS, I would like it to be their decision once they are old enough to decide.

Warning for Prospective Tenants/Buyers in Condo near Mental Hospital

If you're considering renting or buying a unit in the condo across from the mental health hospital, please take time to research potential noise issues before signing a lease—especially if you're looking at higher floors.

Since last year, a large local Chinese family moved into a neighboring unit. Their lifestyle includes leaving their door open throughout the day, frequent loud gatherings, religious singing, and children playing noisily in the hallway. Despite multiple reminders from condo management, the noise levels have not improved. They've made it clear they have no intention of changing, even telling others that anyone who can't tolerate their lifestyle should "go back to their home country."

Unfortunately, daytime noise (or any noise before 10:30 p.m.) is not regulated under current condo rules or other regulations, so residents living nearby or directly below may face ongoing disturbance.

Due to privacy laws, I cannot disclose the exact unit number. However, I strongly .....
