That really satisfies you, doesn't it? What happened? Got reprimanded by your FT India-national lady boss again?
Hello, it's "Staying Together, Moving Ahead" not "Staying Together, let the last 5% pull you back!". And we're talking about the middle 60-80% here, not the filthy rich. Filthy rich don't buy HDB flats.
you're missing the mark by a mile.
If HDB flats are not cheap and greatly subsidised, would there be so many buyers.
You're the one missng the plot, paying attention to much to the marks.
If a system thrusts 80% forward, with 10% who are too ahead to care, and 10% who are so far behind that they can only pull people back, is it fair to pull back on the system?
in a caring society, yes. in a gracious society, yes.
in which direction are you heading towards?
At least we know where we disagree.
Yup the PAP has done a fantastic job of ensuring that Singaporeans have a decent roof over their heads.
No other country in the world has the same home ownership levels! I would like to thank MM Lee and his son for making this possible.
Yep agree, so you own a home or still renting in Toa Payoh?
With such heavily subsidised HDB flats, everyone can afford to own a peice of property. Singapore is also the only country in the world where all her citizens own their own property.

U are such a fucking moron. NOBODY owns their flats in S`pore. Its called a 99 year LEASE. That means u are renting it on a long term basis. By paying the money for the flat, u are basically prepaying your rent for 99 years. After 99 year or less, u have to RETURN the flat to the HDB. Or at anytime, they can demand it back. Does that sound like u own it! If u lease a car, do u own it or do u return it at the end of the lease. Please read your HDB contract. If u live in a freehold condo, u own it. But HDB flats are leasehold. So, the fact is that S`pore has one of the lowest homeownership in the world. I am really dissappointed the MHA is hiring stupid retards like u these days.
100% of Singaporeans find HDB flats very blah blah blah[/I]

I dare to say that the HDB flats are not affoardable especially when you come from families that earn less than S$1000 per month.
And are they realy heavily subsidised? can anyone prove that they are, having a totally independent view and information and not from any govt or govt related orgamisation? if there is none, then the answer is an obvious NO.
this Clinton666 is funny lah, he fails to understand that people needs a shelter over their heads and that's a basic physiological need.
when poor folks can't afford and kind souls sound out that the HDB is NOT affordable, this Clinton666 claims HDB is highly sought after because it's affordable.
where does he expects the poor to stay when they don't have a shelter? so much for the likes of WSM and the elites

And if Makapa was serious, he would have countered Clinton's points. But all he can do is return insults.
