    Is that really so big? It's less than half of perth. Try not to think of relative size too, the population density is relatively low. 1x HDB's population can easily cover a large area there. I'm just hoping the prices steadily rise and not too fast which may create social problems.

    You can't raise prices overnight. And if they do, it only means more of the locals priced out, means less demand. In short term it'll taper demand, as even investors will be worry they can't offload to locals above 1mil price range. It'll also price out common singaporeans who'll find investing...

    Went to Hello Kitty and big5 theme 'towns'. Was bit disappointed as legoland was a great experience. IMO, they should have done up 3 stories of Hello Kitty theme towns instead of one floor. There's so much potential in hello kitty, more rides etc. The hello kitty town was nice, pretty...

    leasehold in new areas might not necessary be a bad thing. i.e. LH will always be at % lower than FH, but as FH appreciates, LH will too, and vice versa when in downturn. Only in matured countries, FH and LH will start to diverge. Even SG is considered a young nation which is why FH and LH...

    For your e.g. The Mthly installments for the 500k RM msia house is RM 2445, the HDB one is SGD 1478, after exchange, it's RM3547 which is 45% more. The weird thing is what are you comparing Msia Condo to HDB? You mentioned your appt is at 175k, isn't that a fairer comparison to HDBs? The...

    I don't get you at all, first you claimed most msians need to pay 30-40 yrs loan, which defies official statistics (real of not depends where you go, who are those around you, but national statistics being stats, is an averaged number) Then now you mentioned they could get 170k RM Flats, and...

    Your "affordability" comparison is not correct. Given the same affordability, the person easily can buy 2x landed of your example in Msia, stay in one, rent out one for added returns. The comparison to last generation is the steep upslope of price appreciation in SG, it's not solely about...

    Two things fundamentally wrong with your example. You cannot compare different housing prices after exchange rates. i.e. HDB of 350k vs Msia Landed of 250k RM. It only make sense if you compare equal affordability. Your leasehold example does not hold water for future generation. When a...

    5 times the old toll rate is ridiculous. Wonder who is the bright mind behind this. If this deter spenders to cross over, the businesses can easier lose many many many times the toll profits.
