Hougang Mall gets facelift with new shops & F&B outlets, expected completion by 2027
Beginning in the second calendar quarter of 2025, the mall will be undergoing renovation works (the property owner, Frasers Centrepoint Trust, terms this as an Asset Enhancement Initiative or AEI), which are expected to end in late 2026. These works are expected to cost around S$51 million, based on the figures presented in the 16th Annual General Meeting for Frasers Centrepoint Trust.
The exterior of the mall already shows signs of preparations for the AEI, with several of the outdoor stalls already closed. Among these are Qiji, Wok Hey, and Stuff'd. Old Chang Kee is still operating.
KFC has also closed, and McDonald's will be closed from 14 Apr 2025. Other closures within the mall include Pepper Lunch, Gong Cha, and Long John Silver's, whose last day of operations is 9 Apr 2025.
Cheng San Public Library will also be closed from 1 Oct 2025 until 2027 to undergo its own revamp.
On a large display in the mall, The Future of Hougang Mall is explained to shoppers while also highlighting the improvements that they can expect when the works are completed.
Some of these improvements are upgraded toilets, a more contemporary interior and a new entrance.
When news of these closures began to be announced on social media, there was speculation that the entire mall would be shut down. Others disagreed and said the mall would still be open while the works were carried out in phases. Whatever the case may be, I look forward to Hougang Mall's new look and what it will bring.
Hougang bakery has daily $1 bread offer, but how does it taste?

Hidden shock ahead for the housing market: Immigration boom-bust
Want more housing market stories from Lance Lambert's ResiClub in your inbox? Subscribe to the ResiClub newsletter. Between summer 2021 and summer 2024, the U.S. saw a substantial upswing in net international migration— much of it coming through the southern border. As of July 2024, the U.S. population stood at 340.1 million, up 3.3 million from 336.8 million in July 2023. Of that population increase, 2.8 million (or 85%) came from net international migration. That international migration burst, of course, is behind us now. Recently, border crossings have plummeted. The updated forecast by researchers at AEI expects that net international migration in 2025 will be somewhere between +115,000 and -525,000. 'We assess the macroeconomic implications of the observed and expected changes to immigration policy during the second Trump administration,' wrote AEI researchers in July. 'We project that net migration in 2025 will be between −525,000 and 115,000, reflecting a dramatic decrease in inflows and somewhat higher outflows. Net migration may be reduced even further in 2026 before rebounding in 2027 and 2028.' Below is a ResiClub chart that shows just how large a share of overall population growth comes from international migration. What does this international migration slump mean for the U.S. housing market? All else being equal, in my view, an immediate and direct housing impact of fewer immigrants coming through the southern border is lower aggregate rental demand—specifically, at the lower end of the market—than if that burst had continued. Rental markets likely to see the biggest impact are in metro areas that have experienced the most international immigration in recent years. In particular, major markets such as New York City, Miami, and Houston could feel the greatest effects. Many economists, including those at the AEI Housing Center, believe this pullback in international migration could dampen U.S. total employment growth and reduce overall U.S. economic activity. Heading into 2025, many analysts speculated that a sharp pullback in immigration through the southern border would quickly put upward pressure on builders' labor costs. However, so far, dampened residential construction activity has more than outweighed any of those pressures. 'Labor also seems to be more available in our markets, potentially stemming from slower multifamily construction and reduced starts in the industry,' Hilla Sferruzza, CFO of Meritage Homes, said during the builder's July 24 earnings call. America's largest homebuilder, D.R. Horton, shared a similar take with analysts. 'From labor availability, it's plentiful,' D.R. Horton CEO Paul Romanowski said during the company's earnings call on July 22. 'We have the labor that we need. Our trades are looking for work. And that's why you've seen sequential and year-over-year reduction in our cycle time. Because we have the support we need to get our homes built. And, you know, given those efficiencies, reductions in stick and brick [costs] over time. Some of that is from design. And efficiency of the product that we're putting in the field. And some of that is just from the efficiency of our operations.' One other thing analysts should keep in mind is that international immigration, in particular, through the southern border, greatly exceeded pre-pandemic norms between summer 2021 and summer 2024. Even if net immigration were to go flat or slightly negative, it'd still take awhile to offset / smooth over the recent surge. That pull-forward in international immigration, coupled with currently softening aggregate residential construction activity, is another reason why the recent sharp pullback in international immigration might take longer than some anticipated to tighten the residential construction labor market. We'll continue to keep an eye on it.

CLIQ Digital AG: Dylan Media to Vote Against Proposed Share Buyback and CLIQ Digital Currently No Longer Considers Delisting
CLIQ Digital AG / Keyword(s): Delisting CLIQ Digital AG: Dylan Media to Vote Against Proposed Share Buyback and CLIQ Digital Currently No Longer Considers Delisting 06. Aug 2025 / 20:20 CET/CEST Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, transmitted by GlobeNewswire. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. Ad hoc releasePublic disclosure of inside information according to Article 17 para. 1 of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 on market abuse (Market Abuse Regulation) Dylan Media to Vote Against Proposed Share Buyback and CLIQ Digital Currently No Longer Considers Delisting Düsseldorf, 6 August 2025 – CLIQ Digital AG ('CLIQ Digital' or the 'Company') announces that it has been informed today by its largest shareholder Dylan Media B.V. ('Dylan Media') that it will vote against agenda item no. 7 at the upcoming Annual General Meeting on 21 August 2025. The agenda item, originally requested by Dylan Media itself, relates to a public partial share repurchase offer and a capital reduction by way of redemption of the repurchased shares. Dylan Media's decision follows CLIQ Digital's announcement yesterday. It disclosed obstacles of the Company's ability to process payments from a part of its existing customers and to acquire new customers due to significant developments within the global digital payments ecosystem, resulting in the withdrawal of the Company's financial outlook for 2025. In light of these developments, Dylan Media has expressed its view that pre-serving liquidity is the most prudent short-term strategy and therefore does not anymore support a public partial repurchase offer by the Company at this time. Against this background and in consideration of the current business environment, the Management Board today has decided currently not to consider a delisting from the stock exchange any longer.
