      I wonder would the gvt do anything about the prices of new HDB flats.


      If new HDB flats prices keep increasing, will the gvt build flats on islands such as pulau ubin to provide lower priced flats? I can't see salary increasing the same pace as the prices, so really don't know how will the kids afford housing next time.
      Move to JB.

        If we continue to be ONLY economically driven country surely we will only have lots of empty HDB flats left. :lol: It is a balancing act.
        if the PR/ FT/ FW issues is not tactfully solved, (when they start leaving Singapore)
        we are going to see the ppty prices plunge down when all these empty flats /houses floating the market,
        esp now when they keep building new ones.

          JB houses also not that cheap.
          Best is buy low in Singapore, amortise over the remaining lease period & that is your rental cost
          Problem is need to wait for next trough... if it ever returns

            If JB houses are not cheap, then buy from much further \"North\" into the Malaysia? Old folks also ask to go JB...Maybe all move to there stay. Lower costs...

                    [. CST is truly a great patriot. He is not as aggressive as JBJ, CSJ ( or even LTK ), but then if he had been, he probably would have been bankrupt by now. Don't forget, he survive 27 years in parliament, and considering the 80s and 90s were like iron-stronghold and not as liberal as present times, kudos to him.

                    Please remember what he did all these for - not for fame and glory, not for seeking multi-million paychecks and solid pension schemes ( he gets none of these ) - he does it purely for the people of Singapore. This is a man who loves his country and despite his meek personality, has withstood the wrath of the ruthless empire for more than 2 decades.
                    Yes, CST earns the respect and admiration truly fr the residents.
                    we can witness how deeply these residents are emotionally connected to him when he bid farewell to his long political career.

                    ya, fortunately he is not that aggressive, otherwise could end up like JBJ, bankrupted and jailed during the period of 80s to 90s.

                      yes, i agree 😄 but i just hate the fact that they are treated in this manner 😞

                      btw, anyone know how to check which constituency we belong to? as in based on the address we stay in

                        cos void decks are where we (the citizens) gather & chat, so they have to blend in with us as well in order to understand better 😉
