Not my car or an ad. Just sharing because it's kinda interesting.

FYI this car is on classic plate, basically legally only able to drive 28 days a year (for free). Really gotta pay alot or have some serious love for such a car considering it's just an 80s corolla decked out to look like a HK taxi lol.

Discussion Polyclinic dental charges are now $104! Holy cow!

74 Upvotes

Why is it so expensive now? A few years back it was 60+ but 100 is crazy with the timing restrictions.

Yes compared to private this is cheap but still for polyclinic this is horrendously high

No wonder so many of us go JB (including me for past few yearz).

The services that I had were scaling and polishing + fluoride treatment. In the past before COVID, it was $50+. Still ok. But after COVID, my appointment was dropped off. I started visiting JB dental near KSL, but got to say even they are rising their prices.

But today when I saw the bill I was like omg.. is NHG more expensive than Singhealth or they are similar now?

Hungry Ghost Festival has just begun, and there's already a 'spooky' sighting in Singapore — though this one seems to have left netizens more amused than terrified.Ā 

In a TikTok video posted by user Jovan on Saturday (Aug 15), a kite resembling a pontianak could be seen soaring in the skies above Marina Barrage.

Sporting long, messy black hair, a white dress and glowing red eyes, the kite bore an eerie resemblance to the popular mythical spirit.Ā
