NTUC chief concerned global economy heading towards stagflation

Labour chief Lim Swee Say has urged workers to work together to cope with a global economy which may be heading towards a state of stagflation - one sparked off by low growth and high inflation.

The NTUC secretary general made the call in his National Day message.

Singapore’s National Day is being celebrated amidst concerns about the slowing global economy and rising inflation, said Mr Lim.

And to tackle these concerns, the labour movement, the employers and the government are addressing two core priorities.

First, coping with the impact of inflation without being caught in a price-wage spiral.

“The worse thing that any country does at a time of high inflation would be for the unions and workers to push for wage inflation. Wage inflation is different from wage increment. Wage inflation means you are pushing up wages to fully offset the inflation,” said the labour chief.

He added that companies in the unionised sector are currently in talks on their annual increment.

One key consideration that is being taken into account in these negotiations is the current state of inflation.

The labour movement noted that private sector companies in the unionised sector have been giving a higher percentage of built-in wage increases in the first half of this year compared to last year, with the figure in the range of 4.4 per cent against 3.8 percent in 2007.

Award-winners to design HDB flats

SCDA, WOHA and Surbana named consultants for Dawson Estate flats

FLAT-BUYERS eyeing Dawson Estate in Queenstown will be spoilt for choice, as upcoming public housing will feature designer looks courtesy of not one, not two, but three local award-winning architectural firms.

The Housing & Development Board (HDB) said yesterday that it will appoint SCDA Architects, WOHA Architects and Surbana International Consultants as design consultants for the district’s public housing projects.

Dawson Estate comes under a ‘Remaking Our Heartland’ exercise that aims to transform public housing into vibrant homes for Singaporeans.

To showcase the regeneration of an old estate, HDB invited the three architectural firms last year to design public housing precincts in Dawson Estate based on new ideas and concepts.

Favourable response from the public led HDB to appoint all three as design consultants.

SCDA and WOHA received their letters of appointment at a HDB awards dinner yesterday evening. The two sites which both firms worked on are vacant and ready for development.

HDB plans to launch the first batch of flats on these two sites for sale under the Built-to-Order system in the third quarter of next year.

Construction could start in the first quarter of 2010 and be completed in 2014.

HDB will appoint Surbana later, when the site it worked on is cleared and ready for redevelopment in 2011.

‘The participation of these firms will not only give HDB flat buyers greater variety and choice, it will also bring a livelier, more attractive buzz to Dawson,’ said Senior Minister of State for National Development and Education Grace Fu.

HDB has also appointed a local landscape architectural firm, Cicada Pte Ltd, to draw up a landscape masterplan. The plan will create a distinct identity for Dawson Estate and bring together the three different precincts.

To retain Dawson Estate’s heritage, HDB is inviting the public to contribute items from the district’s past. Selected heritage items will be woven into the new development.

Ms Fu said yesterday that the ‘Remaking Our Heartland’ programme has made much progress. Nevertheless, she added: ‘There will be challenges along the way, such as grappling with inflation and competing for resources amidst the global construction boom, while keeping HDB flats affordable.’

Frasers to support top KL serviced residences

FRASERS Hospitality, the hospitality arm of property group Frasers Centrepoint. said yesterday that it will provide technical and advisory services for a ‘gold-standard’ serviced residence project in Kuala Lumpur.

The project, Fraser Place Kuala Lumpur, is in the Malaysian capital’s ‘Golden Triangle’, where most international banks, oil-and-gas companies and multinationals are based.

It is also within walking distance of the Petronas Twin Towers and the retail mall Pavilion KL.

Fraser Place Kuala Lumpur is owned by Malaysian-listed YNH Property.

The project is part of a mixed development comprising an office tower and a second tower with 217 studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and penthouse serviced residences.

Frasers said in a statement yesterday that when Fraser Place Kuala Lumpur opens in the third quarter of 2009, it will set a new standard for Malaysia’s extended-stay segment.

Every apartment has a separate bedroom, a fully-equipped kitchen with cooking implements, cutlery and a dishwasher, and a washer-dryer for clothes.

Guests can also make use of an all-day dining outlet, meeting and function rooms, fitness centre, and playground and playroom for children.

Frasers Hospitality chief executive officer Choe Peng Sum says the project will be ideal for expatriates working in Malaysia on medium- term projects, as it provides comfort, all-day-dining and even facilities for accompanying spouses and families.
