Any surprises that this is so?

Until today we have not seen or heard a coherent housing policy since he replaced MBT. Its like playing catchup strategy so far, instead of a hard nosed clear-minded idea of where he wants to go, how he wants to do it, by when he should get there.

There KBW, I've opened the door a liitle so that some light gets thru your thick skull. If you still don't get it....tsk tsk...

Lets dissect his thoughts:

"Are prices affordable generally for most units? I think we have achieved that in the last few months with the pricing of the new BTO flats."

BTO prices are at its highest ever since. How can that be translated to affordable. Maybe he meant that the mortgages are affordable. But wait, when prices of units escalate faster than wages, how can it be affordable?
Current housing prices ara at its highest peak, and it happens under KBW's watch. Are you trying to snook us?

"These month to month fluctuations, I won't waste time worrying about."

That was what MBT thought too. If I have a minister that will not worry and only takes the longest timeline projections to make him worry, then I'm worried.

Maybe what he meant was that at the end of the day, we all die. So monthly, don't worry, Yearly, also don't worry. Decades, no worries. Only worry every century, and by then we're dead, so why worry?

"Its the overall picture (that matters), and the overall picture is that the situation now is totally different from a year ago."

We can take some bullshitting by politicians. But this one takes the cake. You mean less than one year after KBW takes over and the houses have been built? Has the prices stabilised? No, it has not.

Trying to pull wool over our eyes just does not cut it for a politician in this day and age.

The real overall picture is that housing is increasingly becoming unaffordable for our children. That is as big picture as anyone can realistically get. It will happen in our lifetime that an average Joe just cannot own a public home at the rate KBW is snoring.

One year ago home prices were expensive. Now its unaffordable. That is how different one year makes with an incompetent, overpaid housing minister in charge.
 
Another four years of Lip service to go!!

Than wayang its way to 2016 than go ko....goal!!!

By than he'll be filthy rich already, can retire happily every after!
 
i hate his $8 open heart surgery bragging. basket! a polyclinic simiple consultation already cost $30+ and after "subisdy" is nett at $10.50. yet his bigtime heart surgery only $8. just gets to show the richer pays lesser than the poor.

holy cow went on to highlight the importance of "insurance". ya, thought there's already the medisave, medishield I, II...and dunno up to XXX. if peasants could afford all those, they wouldn't ve any problem and worry about dying when they fall sick.

in singapore, CAN DIE BUT DEFINITELY CANNOT FALL SICK.
 
HDB is not only a sacred cow, its more than that. its the supporting pillar of the Singapore myth. shake that and shit will fall. Being KBW, how u think he will take the guts to shake the pillar? He cannot...LOL
 
When he tries to make it look like housing issues are on the mend, that is a big fat lie.

It pisses me off when a minister instead of doing his job (in this case, he's got no idea what to do) tries to hoodwink the people.

Things are not getting better and all of us knows it.
 
Mah Bow Tan fucked things up.
Khaw Boon Wan pretends that there is no problem.

In both cases, the weasel word 'affordable' is overly used.

Remember who came out with the means test and send your parent to JB; all these from a supposedly buddhist.

A Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography test cost S$409.65 ( includes S$26.80 GST), how can a major heart operation, pays only S$8 ? only fools, like the 60% will nod their heads and say "yes sir, yes sir, three bags full"!!!:mad:

Maybe he is doing his job: to serve corporate interests of the HDB and private property developers.

The Lord Buddha overcome the "temptation" issue. Remember the Rakshas?

Let us see how this Buddhist fares in the overly materialistic society!

Can't blame Boon Wan though. He's not the first Singaporean to mistake Singapore for a first world country like France or Sweden where healthcare is virtually free. :rolleyes:
 
HDB prices will never allow to tumble. The ever increasing prices is part of the grand scheme of asset enhancement started by GCT.
Buy a flat now and you are expected to make money when you are ready to sell in the future.

With 30 years bank loans, if the price drop, and the value lower than the outstanding loan, banks are going to foreclose the flat. Many people are going to die. So don't expect it to drop.

Many years ago, we were jokingly saying a $ 1million HDB flat is a pipe dream. This has became reality. I am very worry for our kids.

Sorry, I forgot, he is from Penang, a backward state of a "backward country", mien apology!

The cab fare to the hospital costs more that $8.

I don't think anyone believes in an $8 surgical procedure:rolleyes: If you lie about something you at least have to try to make it sound credible. Obviously the PAP feels secure that they don't even bother anymore.

From the direction of Butterworth, take a drive along the majestic "Aiyoyo Samy, Toll Di Sini, Toll Di Sana" Bridge and you will be in Jalan Kapitan Keling and Gurney Drive. See the thugs moving around there.
Maybe that is the reason why people seek shelter in Singapore, where a heart ops only costs $8/- cheaper then a murtabak kambing in Penang.
