Hi, May I know where I can buy affordable PSLE (primary 6) past year exam papers or actual PSLE paper for my kid?

I am ok with E-copy as well. I tried searching online but most of them are expensive hardcopy papers or free papers do not have proper answer keys.

Thanks for your kind help in advance. 😊

Actual PSLE exam papers are sold in 3-year series in the school bookshop & also at Popular. The answer key is quite reliable. Costs only $4.05 during Open Schoolbag’s online sale now:

If u are looking for prelim papers, can find free ones online but I dunno the quality of the answers. The expensive hardcopy ones from vendors are using the same questionable answer keys.

Depressing statistics!

Suicide rate in Singapore up 25% for last year 2022 as compared to 2021.

Suicide is the leading cause of death among the youths.

The figure 10yo is very sad. 20-29 is highest and that age group supposed to be full of hope, start to see the world, full freedom :sad:

Those working as counselors, psychologists, IMH staff, SOS hotline, all also poor thing. Many of them burnt out after working on all these depressing cases after a while.

My DH suggests reducing the reliance on counseling etc. and directly address the biochemistry cause. Therefore, start on medication (like Prozac) to make the brain happier. It maybe a better way to manage suicide. Stop tagging stigma to psychiatric medication.

Anyone following the Ridout Road Saga? I am waiting for the parliamentary debate on Monday.


I can agree that there is no corruption involved as citied by CPIB but I still feel the issue also raises some disquieting aspects of SLA’s management of the B&W houses.

As a landlord myself, it’s just so stupid to throw in so much money to do up the place only after I have rented out the place at a cheap rate. When using taxpayers’ money, the obscene amount of money SLA spent to make good the B&Ws for a pittance doesn’t make economical sense at all. Any landlord using his own money (and not taxpayers’ money) will never do so!

And for those who are familiar with the rental market, we all know that rental has shot up by 50%-100% since end-2021. As a result, many tenants kena forced to relocate/downgrade.

Maybe SLA should just issue a master contract to commercial companies like CapitalLand etc. to better manage the rental of the B&W houses. May be it’s time to replace the Perm Sec overseeing SLA. After all, by not maximizing the rental income from B&W houses, this is tantamount to raiding the reserves.

Am reading this news bits and pieces.


They rented the place and then rent out to who?

They rented the place for own stay.

Maybe it's time to replace the Minister overseeing the SLA. Oh wait...

As a landlord who has managed old properties for rent, it is also penny wise pound foolish to make the place habitable only after I have rented out the place.

The reports say the properties had been vacant for many years. At say $20k a month, 5 years is 20k X 12 X 5 = $1.2m of rent forgone. And the $400-$500k still have to be spent by SLA. So what did SLA save? $5k interest a year (those were ultra low interest years before 2018) at the cost of $240k forgone rent a year? :siao:
