I could also argue that there isn't an increased in security cost, but in fact, a reduction in overall cost. How so?

Whether the P stays in a HDB flat, a private condominium or a landed property, the cost in providing security services is not something the State can run away from. For a HDB flat, you could argue that besides guarding the P, the rest of the 50+ households also benefited from the extra security provided. Hence, the overall cost is shared by many heads / more people benefit per dollar spent. In a landed property, the number of households / residents per estate is definitely much lower than a few blocks of HDB flats occupying the same footprint.
There are lies, damned lies and statistics
-
Less cost per pax is still more than zero cost er pax. The 50+ household do not warrant any spending on security cost. They’re not office bearer.
Unless, you put all the Ministers into the same block… now, maybe this can make sense. -
Anyway, guess the residents there can freely borrow money from loansharks w/o fear of paint and padlocks at their flat. :evil:

It will never be zero cost per pax. The cost incurred for giving protection to the P is more or less the same regardless of where he/she/it is staying.

I would like the P to stay in my condo. I could then urge the MA to stop engaging any security for the property and save residents' $$$. Given that SecCom has an interest in ensuring the P safety, they can do their job and residents can enjoy the added security on tax payers' expense

sian hor, no public holiday for voting day. sigh…

[quote]MHA said it has conducted a careful assessment of the security arrangements for the President, and has informed her that security agencies \"face several challenges in ensuring her security and protection\" if she continues to stay in her current home.
The ministry has \"strongly advised\" the President to consider moving to another place, as this will enable the agencies to ensure her safety and security with greater assurance.[/quote]In simple English, MHA to EP:
