HDB has announced 10,622 flats for sale today (10 February) under the February 2025 Build-To-Order (BTO) and Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) exercises.

In total, there are 5,032 BTO flats across projects in Kallang/Whampoa, Queenstown, Yishun, and Woodlands. HDB says 8 out of 10 BTO flats offered have a waiting time of four years or less.

But if you need to move into a flat sooner, you may want to consider applying for balance flats in the SBF exercise which HDB says 4 in 10 flats are already completed. There are 5,590 SBF units located across Singapore that are being offered – HDB’s largest SBF exercise to date.

SINGAPORE: Singapore must adapt to a “new reality” of a far less orderly and predictable international environment - one where the United States is no longer prepared to underwrite global order, Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Saturday (Feb 8).

Speaking at a Chinese New Year celebration dinner at Teck Ghee Community Club, Mr Lee said that international geopolitics is “as tense as ever” with “much uncertainty” awaiting in the new year. He pointed to the new US administration as a “significant new factor” shaping global affairs.

Mr Lee added that due to internal challenges and divisions, the US now has an administration with a very different approach to government and the world, and is defining American interests more narrowly.

“It takes a transactional approach to achieve its immediate objectives,” he said, adding that the US looks on tariffs favourably “as a preferred policy tool, an external source of revenue, and a way to force other countries to make concessions”.

Mr Lee also highlighted Washington’s retreat from multilateral commitments, such as the World Health Organization and the Paris Agreement on climate change.

“The US is no longer prepared to underwrite the global order. This makes the international environment far less orderly and predictable,” he said.
 
Please get out the gun carriage and clean and polish it because it's long overdue to be used.

There is a queue of two in line. I worry if one of them doesn't use it soon.
 
Yes, and also please look forward to the 102nd birthday of LKY this September. :biggrin:
By then, election already over and PAPPY earned another term of solid mandate from grumpy sinkies who will continue to complain indefinitely.
