SINGAPORE - Speaking at dialogue with Sembawang grassroots leaders yesterday, National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan urged Singaporeans not to be traumatised over rumours of a flat being sold for $1 million.

Minister Khaw said that there will always be ideal units with fantastic views that will fetch high prices, as in the case of the executive maisonette in Queenstown.

Its sale is still in the works with the price rumoured to hit $1 million including a cash-over-valuation (COV) of $195,000.

Pointing out that the larger picture is more important, Mr Khaw said that in the last few months the Government managed to keep prices for most units affordable with the pricing of the new Build-to-Order (BTO) flats.

At the same time, Minister Khaw noted that the record resale price is indicative of the fact that public housing can provide very good living conditions, reported The Straits Times.

He doesn't know that the selling prices of these "ideal units" will also add to the valuation and COV of flats in the next quarter?

"TRAUMATISED"

Omigosh, What a word to use on Singaporeans???

I wonder if Khaw is conversant in simple English???

Please learn to speak well and use the proper words.

Don't rub salt onto the wounds of many an unfortunate Singaporean who has yet to get a flat.

Surprised, overly-concerned would have been the right words to use.

Please remember that there are many Singaporeans who speak better English then many Ministers and MPs.

And of course, we also do have among us those that speak in bombastic English which none of us comprehend.

There are many among our readers that can become good and effective "Political Desk Writers".

Demand vs Supply, can he guarantee that as he pump new HDB flats into the market, prices will come down?

Demand vs Supply, can he guarantee that as he pump new HDB flats into the market, prices will come down?

then the new citizens are left sleeping in the streets?

He wants to pump, but many citizens are against it because it will depress their property prices.

All you complaint kings probably don t have any property to their names.
It would be the opposite if you own a property.

First, it was "repent." Now it is "traumatized ."

Yap - Sinkies like to use profound words wrongly - until they repent of their misuse of word, we are all traumatized.
