The Singapore gahmen may allow the poor to qualify for a credit card with a lower limit. This worries the “other” finance industry.
Special shoutouts to Yina and Kiat.

Do not take up the offer when its available. I used to harrassed by credit card sales person along orchard road, my answer to them would be, am not eligible and they walk away. Always use cash if possible.

Brown,I really think u have a problem with ur pod cast…it gettin a bit unreliable.
I tried last evening & this morning to access the podcast for “y thai gov hate S’pore” & “poor’s creditcard”…
I can’t…i tried 10x…
I tried to download it many time & the files are only loaded till they are 80KB each then the transfer end…* then i tried to steam it, the connection was transferred to an unknown source, then cut off…***

Interestingly, a Saturday newspaper article estimated that lowering the annual income requirement to S$20,000 p.a. could give banks access to another 450,000 consumers and potentially expand total unsecured loans by S$2 billion.
For you numerologists out there - a little calculation tells me that’s S$444.44 (recurring) per consumer. Another interesting factoid - S$444.44 is 88.88% (recurring) of S$500.
Coincidence?
