Master Card Cross Border Fee

I have used the mastercard to pay for my US professional membership fees of US$147. The currency conversion rate is 0.8007 so after the conversion, I need to pay in S$183.59. Beside the currency conversion, I also need to pay an additional of S$4.59 cross border fees which is equivalent to (4.59/183.59) 2.5%.

Are cats allow in HDB flat?

Recently come across a facebook post on the reply from HDB - are Cats allowed in HDB flat?



To confirm that it is true, I have double check in the HDB web site - http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10326p.nsf/w/PetTypesOfPetsAllowed - From the website it stated clearly

"Flat owners are not allowed to keep cats in HDB flats, as it is generally difficult to confine cats within the flat premises. Nuisance caused by cats such as shedding of their fur, defecating/urinating in public areas or even the caterwauling sounds that they make can cause a lot of disturbance, which affects the environment and disrupts neighbourliness in our housing estates."

And indeed it is true and alot of hdb owner are not aware of it.

After received this letter, I am happy that NTUC Income finally agree on the removal of the exclusion. However the exclusion had made me worry for years. Will it be better that the echocardiogram be done first to confirm the seriousness of the MVP before adding the exclusion in the policy? Is the insurance agent that sell the policy to me did not take the initiative do a good job? Is it no one wanted to bear the cost of medical check ($321/-)? Should the insurance agent pay for my bill as they are earning commission annually from my medical plan?
If I did not appeal then forever I will not be sufficient cover. Quite disappointed with the agent and the insurance company without taking the initiative and give their best services to the customer.
