Thank you all for your opinions! Great advice indeed! Yes all schools in Singapore are good schools. Please don’t misunderstand. This cooling measure is actually a blessing in disguise for many people.

I strongly believe that government should respect those PRs who are genuinely making their lives and growing their loving families on this beautiful land. Please kindly don’t put more obstacles such as paying extra 5% stamp duty for them to buy their ONLY property to get in some good schools in expensive districts. 5% is a lot of $ for many families. It’ll get in the way with a family’s advanced school planning. To get our kids in good schools requires great planning, efforts, time and $. Everything we do is for our future generation. Government should consider to impose this rule on those who buy for investment purposes to cool down the market.
