Queenstown 5-room flat resold for S$1.66 million, setting new record
SINGAPORE: A five-room loft unit at SkyTerrace@Dawson has fetched a staggering S$1,658,888, setting a new record for the highest resale price of a five-room HDB flat according to official data released by the Housing and Development Board (HDB).
The premium loft apartment, located on the 22nd to 24th floors of Block 92 Dawson Road, spans 122 square metres and is part of the highly sought-after SkyTerrace@Dawson development in Queenstown. The sale was completed earlier this month.
Built under HDB's Build-To-Order (BTO) scheme as part of its efforts to rejuvenate mature estates, SkyTerrace@Dawson is known for its award-winning architecture, greenery-lined sky terraces, and proximity to amenities such as Queenstown MRT and Dawson Place. The unit is approximately nine years old and still has 89 years and 11 months left on its 99-year lease.
While the sale marks a new high in HDB's public resale transaction records for five-room flats, it falls just shy of an even higher-profile transaction from last year.
In July last year, a five-room flat at SkyOasis@Dawson was reportedly sold for nearly S$1.73 million, drawing attention for being the priciest HDB resale flat on record. However, that sale doesn't show up in HDB's official transaction database.
Such high resale prices have sparked ongoing debate. As more million-dollar flats hit the market, questions about the affordability of HDB flats persist.

Jobseeker who sent out 500 job applications in 2 months is unsure if he should accept the only offer he got back with an 18-month bond
SINGAPORE: A local man who has spent the past two months actively searching for a job and submitting more than 500 applications has finally received an offer. However, the role comes with an 18-month bond, prompting him to question whether accepting the position is a wise decision. In a post shared on Reddit's r/askSingapore forum, the jobseeker explained that the offer is for an audit position, but the contract includes a clause requiring him to serve a two-month notice period and repay three months' worth of salary if he chooses to leave before completing the bond. He added that he had previously worked in a mid-sized audit firm but left that role due to personal reasons. Although he considers the new company to be reputable, the idea of being contractually tied down for a year and a half has made him hesitant. Turning to the online community for guidance, he asked if anyone had encountered similar circumstances and what potential drawbacks he should be aware of before signing the agreement. 'What could the cons be?' he asked. 'Please share your experience so I can make an informed decision. Thank you!' 'You are at a severe disadvantage as an employee…' In the comments, one Singaporean Redditor suggested that the company likely has a high turnover rate, which might explain the strict bond terms and heavy penalties for leaving early. They speculated that these conditions were implemented to discourage staff from resigning prematurely. They continued, 'Quite sure that they're looking for a way to scare or force new joiners into staying for a longer period of time, so that they don't have to spend more money/time training more new folks. Seems like a screaming red flag. If you're out of a job and need this badly, you can take it and continue looking for another job on the side. If you're just window shopping for a new opportunity, this is a hard pass. Don't bother considering.' Another Redditor chimed in, sharing from personal experience that companies with bonds often turn out to have toxic work cultures. A third user added that their own company had similar bond and notice terms, and strongly advised against accepting such offers. They said, 'You can't escape if the environment turns out to be bad, especially if you have a commitment, e.g., BTO (build to order) loans, car loans, etc. They also fire people suddenly. You are at a severe disadvantage as an employee.' Others suggested checking the company's Glassdoor page to get a better understanding of its work environment, management style, and employee experiences. They noted that reading reviews from current and former staff can provide valuable insights into what it's actually like to work there. One advised, 'Check carefully if it is written by HR or another role. Check if it is written by an intern or others. Filter to read the intern's review as well. Different roles may have different experiences. Check if there are signs of nepotism/family business.' Employment bonds According to Legal Advice's website, some companies throw in employment bonds in their contracts to cover the costs of training new hires if they decide to leave early. Basically, it's a way for them to protect their investment, especially if they spent a lot of time and resources getting someone up to speed. However, not all companies play fair with these bonds. In some cases, companies impose hefty penalties or enforce the bond even when no real training was provided. As a result, Singapore courts have ruled many of these bonds unenforceable. If you're being asked to sign one or thinking about adding it to your employment contracts, it's smart to get some legal advice. That way, you can make sure everything's fair, legal, and won't cause headaches down the road.

SG worker ‘fed-up' of his S$6K job because he's ‘not appreciated' by the company; he's willing to take a pay cut of S$4K to work in a better company
SINGAPORE: Despite drawing a monthly salary of S$6,000, a Singaporean employee recently shared on the 'Ask Singapore' subreddit that he is seriously contemplating leaving his job due to burnout and a lack of recognition. In his candid post, he revealed that although he is performing 'really well' at his current company, his contributions often go unnoticed. This persistent lack of appreciation has taken a toll on his morale, and he admitted to feeling increasingly 'fed up' with his work situation. Frustrated and emotionally drained, he said he is now considering a complete career switch, even if it means taking a significant pay cut. Seeking advice from others, he asked, 'Does anyone know what kind of jobs pay around S$4,000 now with eight to nine hours a day? For people with almost zero experience in that field. My maximum pay cut is back to S$4,000.' 'Find things that are positive about your job. Negativity attracts negativity…' In the comments section, instead of offering job recommendations, many users cautioned him against leaving his current high-paying role. They argued that switching to a lower-paying job doesn't necessarily guarantee a better work environment, and he could end up facing similar levels of stress. See also Meet XPhone, a blockchain-enabled smartphone by PundiX One Redditor also highlighted the potential financial strain of such a move, writing: 'Bro, taking a 33% pay cut will give you even more stress. You will have less savings/month. If let's say you saved S$3,000 monthly last time, now you can only save S$1,000 monthly. If you saved less than S$2,000 last time, now you must struggle to find out how to save even a dollar. If you have any payment commitments, then you're gonna have to cut down on a lot of other (stuff). Huge quality of life drop. You have to start adapting your (expenditures) to your S$4,000 budget rather than your S$6,000 budget.' Another wrote, 'Taking a 33% pay cut just because you feel like you are not appreciated? Why would you think you will feel more appreciated when you are paid less for your work? Haha.' A third advised, 'No job anywhere will appreciate you as much as you would like to be. That is adulthood. That is like being a dad and expecting children to say thank you for everything every day. It will never happen. Find things that are positive about your job. Negativity attracts negativity. Compartmentalise. Go through the things you don't like so much; don't let it affect the things that you do like at your job.' In other news, a jobseeker was left shocked and unsettled after a virtual interview with a local IT company took a deeply personal and inappropriate turn, prompting her to exit the session midway. On Friday (Jun 6), she shared her experience on Reddit's Ask Singapore forum, detailing what she described as 'the worst interview' she's ever encountered. According to her post, the interview was conducted online by someone who identified herself as the company's 'business advisor.' 'It started off alright,' the jobseeker recalled. 'Then came personal questions asking me to speak and describe my family.'

DBS tops US$100 billion market value in Singapore Exchange first
[SINGAPORE] DBS Group Holdings became the first listed company in Singapore to top US$100 billion in market value, helped by a softer US currency that amplified gains on the local stock market. South-east Asia's top lender gained as much as 0.9 per cent in Singapore trading on Monday (Jun 9), and is trading at a market capitalisation of S$129.2 billion, extending its gains this year to more than 4 per cent. The advance in DBS's share price in US dollar terms was driven by the weaker greenback. So far this year, the Singapore dollar has appreciated about 6 per cent against the US dollar. In local currency terms, DBS has eased slightly from its record closing high of S$46.67 on Feb 26. At the current market value, DBS ranks about 22nd among global banks, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That is ahead of Tokyo-based Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, but half that of HSBC Holdings. Some of Asia's biggest banks like Commonwealth Bank of Australia and India's HDFC Bank have bigger market capitalisations. The milestone comes after the Republic's lenders pledged in recent months to hand over billions of US dollars in surplus capital to investors, encouraged by record-high earnings last year. DBS in particular, has benefited from increases in lending and wealth fees. Other than DBS, Singapore-based Sea that is listed in New York reached this valuation before. Chief executive officer Tan Su Shan took charge of DBS in March from Piyush Gupta after his 15-year leadership. Tan said at her first earnings call last month that the bank seeks to benefit from supply-chain changes undertaken by its clients and increased demand for hedging foreign exchange exposure amid US President Donald Trump's tariff moves. 'A lot of DBS's out-performance has been due to the larger growth of its wealth management, which is really starting to challenge top players in Asia,' said Michael Makdad, a senior analyst at Morningstar, adding he sees the business continuing to grow. 'Despite Trump's tariffs, the environment remains relatively benign for Singapore banks which are increasing share dividends and buybacks more than we would've expected a year ago.' DBS is the third-largest wealth manager in Asia, excluding mainland China, according to data compiled by industry publication Asian Private Banker. Net new money for its business catering to the rich came in at S$21 billion last year, demonstrating the strong inflows that have exceeded S$20 billion for the past three years through 2024.
