Growth in Singapore Housing Prices Slows in First Quarter | Armonk NY Homes
Private property prices in Singapore rose at a much slower rate in the first three months of this year compared to the quarter before, as government curbs announced in January to cool the market dampened demand.
The state’s private residential property index rose 1.1 points, or 0.5 percent to 213.1 points in the quarter ending March, according to the Urban Redevelopment Authority, Singapore’s national land use planning authority. This compares to the 1.8 percent increase to 212 in the quarter that ended in December.
The price increase of non-landed private residential properties slowed to 0.4 percent in the core central region, compared to the 0.7 percent in the previous quarter. Prices in areas outside the central region showed a 1.7 percent in the first quarter, less than half the increase of 3.8 percent in the previous quarter.
The latest curbs included a seller’s stamp duty and increased taxes for foreigners and corporate, which rounded out the nation’s seventh round of cooling measures in the last four years.

Oklahoma Governor Signs New Law Allowing Horse Slaughter | Bedford NY Real Estate
Horse slaughter will soon be a reality in the state of Oklahoma. On Friday, Governor Mary Fallin signed a new law that will allow the animals to be slaughtered, processed and exported all from within the state. The bill, however, prohibits horse meat from being sold in the USA.
According to Huffington Post, the new law hopes to address the large number of starving and abandoned horses within the state as well as the fact that horses set for slaughter are being shipped to Mexico where horse slaughter is legal.
Governor Fallin said about the controversial law, ”In Oklahoma, as in other states, abuse is tragically common among horses that are reaching the end of their natural lives. Those of us who care about the wellbeing of horses – and we all should – cannot be satisfied with a status quo that encourages abuse and neglect, or that rewards the potentially inhumane slaughter of animals in foreign countries.”
Animal activists have been fighting the new law, sadly without success. Cynthia Armstrong, the Oklahoma state director for the Humane Society of the United States, said in response, “It’s a very sad day for Oklahoma and the welfare of the horses that will be exposed to a facility like this. It’s very regrettable.”
It appears that instead of creating programs to help the abandoned horses in the state of Oklahoma, they are seeking to create a money making industry to profit from the sad fate of these horses. The bill received bipartisan support and easily passed in both the State House and the Senate.
