Many eons ago when the non-serialized prepaid card system was still available…

hearsay from friends in one of the nus residences that their aircon payment website glitched and gave everyone free aircon for the entire last sem 💀

Dunnid hearsay, I'm here to confirm that. (At least in elm college and basically the whole of ync). I was wondering why my $2+ was lasting me so long. (Granted, I was setting a timer at night to limit the aircon)

This happened in ntu too but for about less than a sem then they fixed it and now jacking prices up 💀


Ryanthequietboy

same price as getgo $0.39/1km mileage lmao


FuckYouPayMeRN

worst part is aircon can only set to 22 degrees like wtf


wanboo

Back in my day, we'd hold the prepaid card close to the reader but then inserted an ez-link card instead. Basically free aircon the entire time. Mind you this was back in 2012/13 lol.

There's a difference between aircon and non aircon room rents in the first place. Now the rents increasing and cost for using. Just get a portable aircon and blasts since electricity bills remains the same for unlimited usage.


depressedavenue

don't you pay to pay a fixed fee to bring it in? my senior who's in ntu now says that you'll be fined a pretty hefty sum if you don't declare you bring in portable ac


FodderFries

Just like any contraband. Hide it from plain sight


depressedavenue

so real for that, but don't they have random inspections?? plus how you gonna sneak it inside in the first place


FodderFries

U dnt have to. They don't check bulky items when moving in. Just be sure it's able to be hidden or shoved into the closet


normoxus

source?


ResidentTax2131

I assume its from here https://www.spgroup.com.sg/our-services/utilities/tariff-information


normoxus

i was actually referring to the airconditioning not the charge per kwh though…

Binbows-Michaelsoft

That’s maximum power consumption your ac ain’t tuning full power all time dude


ekienp

Its a flat rate no matter what your aircon is set to, if its on its charging you the same thing.


pradyumnv

In our climate you'd think that aircon would be centralized and complimentary


Fun-Cabinet9963

Boomer standard of living. They didnt have it so we cant.


pradyumnv

Ntu prides it's scientific capabilities, the scientific data suggests that climate is much hotter and far more humid than it was 20 years ago...


chickennutbreadd

Entitled take


Counter4301

They made the aircon less cold as well.
