Mostly mass produced stuff. He was happy to get it cheap...but person who sold also got it cheap.
Just go to Carousell you can find many amazing rugs for $20-$100

He also buys many "bronze pieces" without providence....
If someone sells you $100k bronze piece for $1500,...it is likely it is fake worth less than $50.

His CPF statement has no more $1 millions, he dare not show his latest CPF balance statement anymore.
Now, he can only show his cheap rugs.
With govt restriction on prime flats, resale flat price will be dampened.
His resale flat price will be depreciated after 10 years.

Okay lah...at least at one time it was a million plus. Think he used it to buy new flat so now less....Still okay can consider lower middle class in Singapore.

Show proof with your Oct CPF balance statement.
last time, you had balance of $1.2 millions (RA+OA+SA).
$700K was deducted from CPF for resale flat.
your balance should be less than$200K

a house should be a home where you can feel spacious and peace to relax from work.
A house should look like a house, period. Neither a mini museum, or storage space or warehouse etc

totally agree! the house looks cluttered to me.
Jac's taste is so unique la. I donno how to appreciate old and smelly dirty rugs. see already I feel giddy.
And those statutes....would they come alive at night ah? looks spooky...

So poor quality.
My Malay neighbour's house toilet fully made of marble not like Jac's.
Even my neighbour's living room rug is imported from Dubai around $20k.
There is a big difference in standard of living between my neighbour and a garang guni.

There's no point collecting such stuff. After one dies, the wife will just either throw them away or sell for cheap.
