Heritage Sin Kee Chicken Rice closes after 2 months at new outlet
After just over 2 months of operations at Sims Vista Market & Food Centre, Heritage Sin Kee Chicken Rice closed for good on 24 May 2025. The reason for their closure was not specified, simply stating they've ceased operations 'till further notice'. We can't talk about chicken rice in Singapore without mentioning the legendary Sin Kee Chicken Rice, first founded at Margaret Drive in 1971 by Mr Leong Fook Wing. Today, there are 6 stalls islandwide that share the 'Sin Kee' name, and while not all are directly connected, some trace their roots back to the OG. One such stall is the aforementioned Heritage Sin Kee Chicken Rice, run by one of the late founder's sons, Niven. Before rebranding to its current name, this stall had undergone many variations, from Uncle Chicken Rice, Sin Kee Famous Chicken (featured in the Singapore episode of Netflix's Street Food: Asia!), to Sin Kee Chicken Rice (Margaret Drive). Heritage Sin Kee Chicken Rice's closure was made known by the posters Niven plastered across his stall front — one placed directly on his face on the signage. He uploaded it to Facebook with a sardonic caption, 'My face so 乞人憎 (qi ren zeng). Must sealed up', a phrase that loosely translates to 'so annoying, people can't stand the sight of it.' A separate Facebook post by a netizen on 10 Jun garnered mixed reactions in the comments. While some loyal customers were disappointed by this sudden news, others were noting Niven's pattern of relatively short stints at various locations. Since Heritage Sin Kee Chicken Rice is now closed, will Niven open another outlet under a new name? Only time will tell. Until then, you can still get your fix of the OG Sin Kee Chicken Rice recipe at his brother's stall, Margaret Drive Chicken Rice at Holland Drive. 15 best 'clucking good' chicken rice stalls in Singapore [Apr 2025 update] The post Heritage Sin Kee Chicken Rice closes after 2 months at new outlet appeared first on

Analyst who nailed Tesla's crash issues stark warning
Analyst who nailed Tesla's crash issues stark warning originally appeared on TheStreet. Veteran crypto investor Tuur Demeester, known for his insightful macro analysis and prescient investment calls, has issued another warning regarding profound structural changes unfolding within the global financial system. Tuur Demeester called the decline in TSLA stock well in advance in 2022, telling investors to swap the TSLA stock for BTC, five months later and TSLA lost 53% of its value against BTC, so he was right to go contrarian. In a detailed post published on X on June 11, Demeester speculated that we are witnessing a seismic shift away from the dilution and debasement characteristic of fiat-based capital, toward forms of scarce, work-based value, such as Bitcoin. To support his thesis, Demeester included a chart juxtaposing Bitcoin's price against a leading bond market index. This metric continues to trend upward, reflecting the rising opportunity costs associated with holding currencies disconnected from hard work and scarcity. Demeester's warning parallels the decline of the dollar. At the time of writing, on June 11, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) hit multi-month lows of 98.6, with investor faith in the fiat money supply waning amid ongoing inflation and escalating debt levels. Demeester's framing is that assets such as Bitcoin, scarce, decentralized and unencumbered by political risks of debasement, continue to rise up in the face of traditional debt-based financial instruments. This devaluation, compounded by structural tax-policy changes that disproportionately benefit the wealthiest Americans, especially as coined by Australian economist Justin Wolfers, is reminding people that fiat currencies are increasingly a question mark. Interestingly, US Treasury Scott Bessent proposed today that stablecoins can lock the dollar dominance as a counter to dollar devaluation.

Dogecoin rebounds 3% as Elon Musk backs down from feud with Trump
Dogecoin, a crypto memecoin that tends to fluctuate on Musk-related news, rebounded on Wednesday after tech billionaire Elon Musk backed down from an escalating feud with President Donald Trump. 'I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week,' Musk posted on X early Wednesday morning. 'They went too far.' Dogecoin popped 3% in the minutes that followed Musk's apology, jumping from 19 cents to above 20 cents, according to Binance. The currency has pulled back slightly since the post but remains up 2%. By comparison, Bitcoin is up less than a tenth of a percent since the post. The price rebound comes after Dogecoin fell 11% to 17 cents last week, as Musk and Trump entered into a public feud on social media. The dispute between the world's two most powerful people happened after Musk, who had concluded his time at the White House, took issue with the president's spending bill, calling it 'pork-filled' and a 'disgusting abomination' in an X post on June 3. Trump fired back saying that the easiest way to mitigate government spending would be to 'terminate Elon's governmental subsidies and contracts' on Truth Social on June 5. In a since-deleted post, Musk responded by saying that his aerospace company SpaceX would begin 'immediately decommissioning' its Dragon aircraft which shuttles people to and from the International Space Station. Musk walked back the statement later that day, but the two men continued to exchange barbs. The same day, Musk dropped what he called a 'really big bomb,' claiming that Trump 'is in the Epstein files,' in another since-deleted post on X. The 'Epstein files' refers to documents the U.S. government collected during its investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that supposedly contained the names of his high-profile associates. Musk did not provide evidence to support his claims. Trump responded to Musk's claims by posting a screenshot of Epstein's former defense attorney David Shoen denying that Epstein had any information that would 'hurt' the president. 'I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein's defense as his criminal lawyer for nine days before he died,' Shoen wrote on X on June 5. 'I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he has no information to hurt President Trump.' Trump has also previously denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. Last year, Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social: 'I was never on Epstein's Plane, or at his 'stupid' Island.' Musk-related news has a history of influencing the price of Dogecoin, the crypto industry's first and most popular memecoin. The Tesla founder has repeatedly expressed his affinity for the currency over the years, proclaiming himself the 'Dogefather' on Saturday Night Live in 2021 and titling a federal agency the Department of Government Efficiency, or D.O.G.E. Dogecoin isn't the only Musk-affiliated enterprise that took a hit in value during his war of words with the sitting president. Tesla's share price dropped around 17.3% after Musk began feuding with Trump. It has rebounded since then, but still remains below its previous price. This story was originally featured on
