A false front for SGD to increase last 2 weeks. Suddenly influx of news of many major investers coming to SG hence sudden surge in SGD increase.

Its not that NT start to increase but SGD getting to normalise, lower and stablising. Control by goverment anyway. My speculation is the our north neighbour aint too happy for sudden increase of SGD value which mean lowering their RM value.

I suspect some dudes were spreading rumours abt the investors in the late june.

Now Megabank rate keep going up. 23.39 already. If this case, our money changer should be able to hit 23.6 hopefully

Yesterday change 500+ @ 23.4 at Parklane Centre. Initially wanted to go People's Park. For the amount i change is not worth to travel there and change, unless i am changing $1.5k and above. I haven't change all. Want to wait and see first.

Have also enquired Serangoon Nex. They are selling at a rate of 22.8 and best price is 23.

the most i changed was EUR1500. Maybe not big enough. if you are changing S$6k, i think you have room to bargain. but usually i just ask if that is the best rate and usually the money changer will say yes and i will just stop there loh.
