HDB Issues Fixed Rate Notes

HDB Issues Fixed Rate Notes

Date issued : 24 Jul 2014

 The Housing and Development Board ("HDB") has issued S$900 million, 10-year Fixed Rate Notes (the “Notes”) under its S$32 billion Multicurrency Medium Term Note ("MTN") Programme

2The Notes have a coupon of 3.1% per annum payable semi-annually in arrear. The Notes were issued on 24 Jul 2014 and will mature on 24 Jul 2024.

3The Notes are in denominations of S$250,000 and were offered by way of placement to investors who fall within Sections 274 and/or 275 of the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore. Approval in principle for the listing of the Notes on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST) has been obtained. Admission of the Notes to the Official List of the SGX-ST is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of HDB, its subsidiaries or the Notes. The Notes are cleared through The Central Depository (Pte) Limited.

4The Joint Lead Managers are CIMB Bank Berhad, DBS Bank Ltd., The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited and United Overseas Bank Limited.

5Under HDB's MTN programme, HDB may from time to time, issue bonds (or notes) to finance its development programmes and working capital requirements as well as to refinance the existing borrowings.

6HDB was set up as a statutory board on 1 February 1960. HDB houses over 80% of Singapore's resident population and enables more than nine out of ten of them to be homeowners. This has made Singapore one of the highest home ownership nations in the world. The provision of quality housing and related services, and the renewal of the older HDB estates, will remain the focus for HDB.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS This announcement is not an offer for sale of securities in the United States. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (as amended), and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons absent registration under, or an applicable exemption from, the registration requirements of the U.S. securities laws. No public offering of securities is being made in the United States or in any other jurisdiction where such an offering is restricted or prohibited.

"dirty" drive in xp machine

Encountered an old win xp machine having "dirty" drive and then the said machine simply crashed.

How do you resolve?

Method 1:

First, check whether if the machine can be booted in windows or not.

If the machine is able to boot in windows, then perform a scandisk or chkdsk by invoking in the command prompt or simply use the windows check disk / scandisk.

If unable to boot in windows, then we need to check for the error messages and work on from there.

Then restart the machine and see if there any more problems.

There is also another method to do too:

Method 2:

Power on the machine, then go to F8 to go to Advanced startup options.

Select safe mode with command prompt. You will see the display of the windows system files being loaded.

After a short while, you will encounter a command prompt. Invoke this: chkdsk c: (if you have d drive, then chkdsk d: )

chkdsk or simply check disk is a system tool to verify the file system integrity on hard drives, etc and fixes logical file system errors.

And let the chkdsk tool run and if it needs to fix, then run chkdsk /f

Then restart your machine to see if there are any problems.
