<!-- story content : start --> FRESH evidence has emerged of Singapore's red hot property market with the Housing Board's (HDB) latest launches attracting six applicants for every available flat. A staggering 5,015 bids were received for 828 new flats in Sengkang and Sembawang by the application deadline of midnight on Monday. The high level of interest outstrips that of recent years, when about four applications were typically received for each new flat, according to housing analysts.

Demand was particularly intense for five-roomers in Sengkang, where 1,341 applied for the 126 flats on offer - more than 10 applications for each flat. This high level of interest follows January's launch of four-roomers at Limbang Green at Choa Chu Kang, which attracted 14 applications for every flat. The blistering demand for the developments at Fernvale Ridge in Sengkang and Sembawang RiverLodge is being attributed to the escalating prices of resale flats, which set a fresh record in the last quarter of last year.

of course

they need to ingrain in all sinkies how good HDB flats are, how well-run and efficient they are, how much demand they have for the pigeon holes

then simple-minded sinkies will think PAP sibei zai, the pigeon holes sibei worth it since everyone is getting, all cheebye kiasu sinkies will go in and sink in their 30 worth of slave payments to the masters

this is what happen what govt control and owns the media. they will NEVER report anything negative abt important things like HDBs etc
VOTE THEM OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
