        A third of S’poreans spending less on X’mas due to rising costs; 3 in 5 hopeful about 2023
        Am definitely spending more esp with GST going up on 1 Jan 2023.

        BTW, tmr bus/mrt fares increase, right?

            My goodness. He was less than 70 years old. Very sad news as I have interacted with him through my career.

              Very unfortunate, so young… I guess, starting your own business entity could take a toll on your health. Take extra care of your health today!

                Yes, 67 is rather young.

                A great entrepreneur.
                A very enlightening and engaged speaker. A great, amazing man !

                  ...
                  He once told me he never went for classes in poly. Instead, he would read up on his own to the extent that he goes about teaching his classmates the subject! Sounds like me as I would normally just go get my lecturer's notes at the copy store but I don't go about teaching others 😂

                    He was single. Hope he bequeathed his assets to needy homes or some scholarships for the young.

                      I was shocked when i read the news.
                      He was so young.

                      Life is fragile and unpredictable.

                        Yes, shocking because he not only young, but fit. People are curious, how he died.
