Registration for 2027 MOE kindergarten admissions to open from March 23

Parents who wish to register their children for Kindergarten 1 (K1) admission to Ministry of Education (MOE) pre-schools next year can do so between March 23 and 31, said the ministry on Wednesday (Feb 11). A total of 57 MOE kindergartens — including a new pre-school at Rivervale — will be participating in this year's MOE kindergarten registration exercise. The new kindergarten at Rivervale is among three new MOE kindergartens planned for opening between 2026 and 2027. Another MOE kindergarten — MOE Kindergarten @ Townsville — which was originally slated for opening in 2027 at Townsville Primary School's Ang Mo Kio campus, will not be going ahead as planned, after the announcement of the primary school's relocation to Sembawang in 2029.MOE had said in a press release in 2025 that East Canberra, where the school will be relocated, already has a «steady supply» of preschool places. Registration for the admission exercise is open to children of Singapore citizens and permanent residents born between Jan 2, 2022, and Jan 1, 2023, both dates inclusive.

'I like to buy old cars at bargain prices': Singaporean delivery rider snags Porsche Cayenne for just $5,800 in Malaysia

The higher cost of living in Singapore has driven a Singaporean delivery rider to buy a car across the border — a move that left several social media users calling it a «steal».A TikTok video shared on Jan 31 showed Afiq Zayany, 31, showing off his 4.8 litre Porsche Cayenne. The price? A cool RM18,000 (S$5,800), he said.Speaking to AsiaOne on Wednesday (Feb 11), Zayany said he saw «potential» in the used 2004 model - even with its age and faulty engines - when a friend shared its listing on Facebook Marketplace in Nov 2025. «The owner listed it at $8,000. I walked away and he called me back,» he said. «We agreed at $5,800. So, not bad.» A brand new Porsche Cayenne in Singapore — excluding the Certificate of Entitlement —  starts from over $400,000. Meanwhile, listings on SGcarmart show that second-hand models start from $30,000. The cheapest Porsche Cayenne that AsiaOne found online in Malaysia is a 2004 model that cost around $9,000. While the car was paid fully in cash, its affordable price came with an asterisk mark.
