Cardboard land now really scared of their $ in US.
-
I found my unused US$ notes (during previous trips)..and now they are worth less liao.. lucky only US$80 -.-""

Ironically, some people are rushing to buy USD now in the anticipation that it would eventually rise again in the future.
But of course, currency speculation has its risks. Some currencies go down and stay down.

The problem with currency speculation is that you never know where the bottom of the barrel is.
A few months before going to Turkey, 1 EUR = 1.85 SGD.... I figured that since it was already pretty low (1 EUR usually costs more than 2 SGD), I bought some euros....
Then just a couple of weeks before I went, it dropped to 1.70 SGD.
Luckily I had only changed a relatively small amount of money previously.

would we ever see the day when sgd goes dollar for dollar against the greenback ? ....

Not too long ago, I would have said this:
But now, I can't rule out the possibility.

1 GBP was just over S$2 when I left, and now it's under that. Our strong currency makes travelling a lot more affordable.
I think the US dollar will take a further beating and it will be a very long time if it ever recovers. It was worth S$1.44 early last year and it dropped by 0.10 by the time I left.
