Yeah it's true.

Some investment consultants estimate USD/SGD will reach 1.4 by end of 2015.

Don't forget to ask for her hp.

Bro,
per taxi right regardless of 2 or 3 pax?

really the impact is not obvious...just that foreigners from Asean will spend lesser or go less frequent...the Vietnamese will not face severe difference...unless they rely on foreigners biz...those who spend USD will not be any difference...

I had spend lesser on tips and to me no difference...instead of giving 50k tips...either i give lesser or no tips...so the amount I spend remains the same...only those who have fixed monthly maintenance to give gf/bx will feel the weakening SGD...
