A two-storey, spacious villa with a parking lot huge enough to fit three cars— for some, such a lifestyle is but a pipe dream. But one Singaporean, Afiq Zayany, recently shared how he is able to live said lifestyle and earn up to S$6,000 per month The key? Working as a Grab rider.   Earning about S$200 daily "Really meh? Sure boh can get S$4,000 to S$6,000 [monthly] working as a Grab rider?" Afiq directly addressed the scepticism in a YouTube video. Armed with receipts, Afiq broke down his work and earnings in the video. He works about six to seven hours daily and delivers about 25 orders during those hours. On average, Afiq is able to earn about S$200 daily.   Screenshot via Ringgit & Dollars/YouTube   Incentives On a random week in May, Afiq managed to earn S$1,283.20 before incentives With incentives, Afiq can earn an additional S$150 if he is able to hit 180 orders in that week.   Screenshot via Ringgit & Dollars/YouTube   Earning up to S$6,000 "I've been working [as a Grab rider] for about 2 to 3 years now," Afiq tells Mothership. He said that he can earn up to S$6,000 in salary when he works every day for the whole month. "I cannot tell you guys how much I earn like that (S$6,000) consistently," he said in the video. "If I take one week off, [I earn about] S$4,000. If I work 7 days straight for the whole month, that's close to S$7,000." Afiq told Mothership that there are other "hardcore riders or drivers" who earn way more than him. Afiq told Mothership that there are other "hardcore riders or drivers" who earn way more than him. "If you work like how you would at a full-time job, 8 to 5 from Monday to Friday, [earning] S$4,000 is the minimum."   Tough moments, touching moments Like any other job, working as a Grab rider comes with its own hardships. "Every day is a tough day," Afiq said. In one video, Afiq said he travels an average of 250km daily as a Grab rider.   Despite its hardships, there are also moments that touch Afiq's heart. "Most of the time, Grab customers are really nice and thoughtful," Afiq said. "Some even prepared some snacks and drinks outside their houses for riders. Really makes my day that people actually think about us," he added.   Hard work pays off But hard work does pay off, and Afiq is able to prove just that. Today, Afiq and his wife are living in a RM1.4 million (S$424,600) two-storey landed golf villa in Johor Bahru.

SINGAPORE – Resorts World Sentosa’s (RWS) biophilic mall, Weave, has opened its doors to visitors on July 1. The three-storey development, billed by the integrated resort as a lifestyle and community enclave, spans 20,000 sq m and houses almost 40 tenants. Not all tenants have moved in, but some seven food and beverage (F&B) outlets are already operational, including Middle Eastern eatery WeWa, Chinese tea chain Chagee and Taiwanese restaurant Din Tai Fung.   Other stores to look out for include a flagship outlet for sportswear brand Adidas and two F&B concepts by Michelin-starred French chef Paul Pairet: French bistro Moutarde and ice-cream parlour Sundae Royale. These will open in the third quarter of 2025. Pairet’s compatriot, renowned pasty chef Pierre Herme, opens his first Singapore outpost at Weave with a two-storey outlet on Aug 1. Local brands, opening later in the year, will also be represented, including kidswear label Le Petit Society and traditional snack shop Old Seng Choong, which is slated to launch its first open-concept bakery.   “Weave represents a pivotal milestone in our RWS 2.0 transformation journey as we reimagine how guests experience luxury and leisure in one seamless environment,” said Ms Lam Xue Ying, vice-president of Singapore Oceanarium and Destination Experience for RWS, in a press statement. She added that it is a space designed to inspire ease and exploration.   The mall will be situated next to Universal Studios Singapore and Singapore Oceanarium, taking over the space occupied by RWS’ original shopping area, The Forum. Weave was designed by international architectural firm Benoy and landscape architects from local landscaping firm ICN Design. It was envisioned to be a green destination in multiple ways – featuring actual greenery throughout via green walls and shrubbery-lined walkways, while also incorporating sustainable infrastructure.   An artist’s impression of Weave, envisioned as a green destination in multiple ways, including shrubbery-lined walkways.

Additionally, Weave will make use of the cold water by-product generated by the hot water usage in RWS’ hotels to cool the air that feeds into the mall. Weave, named after the weave pattern in the architecture, is part of a larger development plan at RWS.

The $6.8 billion project adds more than 164,000 sq m to RWS, including plans to build a Super Nintendo World in Universal Studios Singapore. An 88m-high experiential “mountain trail” and two more hotels with 700 rooms in total are also part of the development.

A five-room Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat located at The Pinnacle @ Duxton was sold for S$1.58 million in June 2025. According to 99.co, the transaction set "a fresh record for the highest resale price ever" in the central region. The unit, located at Block 1D Cantonment Road, is 1,130 sq ft. This translates to S$1,398 per sq ft. At the time of the transaction, the unit had 84 years and eight months left on its lease.   Factors behind transaction price   According to 99.co, one factor that might have contributed to the unit's record transaction price was its high-floor position. Situated between the 34th and 36th floors of the 50-storey block, the flat is said to offer "sweeping, unblocked views of the city skyline" for its residents. Additionally, The Pinnacle @ Duxton has been one of the most popular HDB estates in Singapore, thanks to its central location and unique design. Besides offering amenities, such as fitness stations, jogging tracks, and communal pavilions, the estate also allows residents to enjoy panoramic views of the city on its sky gardens, located on the 26th and 50th floors. In March 2025, the estate made headlines after a four-room flat at Block 1C Cantonment Road was sold at a record-breaking S$1.518 million. At the time, the flat's owner told Shin Min Daily News that she and her husband bought the unit, which spans 94 sq m (1,011 sqft), 15 years ago at S$378,000.   HDB flats with very high resale prices 'a minority'   At a media briefing on Aug. 20, 2024, then National Development Minister Desmond Lee shared that while record HDB resale prices frequently made headlines, public housing with very high resale prices are "a very small proportion of all transactions". Lee added that such transactions make up only 0.5 per cent of all four-room or smaller flats transacted in the last two years, are very central, and are well served by transport connectivity and comprehensive amenities. Lee noted that more than half of them are also located on very high floors, above 30 storeys, and have good views. However, they have caused Singaporeans to be concerned about "the affordability of resale flats as a whole":     Lee also noted that flats that cross the million-dollar mark make up about 2 per cent of all resale transactions over the last 1.5 years.
