Public Housing HDB
Someone who had stayed and worked in Australia made a comment that Singapore is "better" than Australia.
It is said that housing is "comparably cheaper" in Singapore. The comparison is made between Sydney and Singapore HDB.
Why Sydney and not other second or third tier cities? Why compare public housing HDB with private apartment or condominium in Sydney?
The definition of "comparable" is actually skewed and slanted. They are really NOT comparable just for one simple reason, can you provide any Strata Titles for HDB which private housing in Australia has?
Many Singaporeans are pretty superficial and ignorant when they tried to make comparisons.
What so important about Strata Titles? It specifically means you own a certain part or percentage of the whole land which your apartment or condo is built on. You can do enbloc or decide on whatever things to be built on this land.
But you can't do that for HDB. because legally and technically you don't own that land and you don't have any Strata Titles.
Someone had tried to apply to do enbloc of their HDB flats before and they went to court and fight it out. Eventually they lost, expectedly. They didn't know they don't really own that land without Strata Titles.
So next time when someone come up to you to make such "comparison", just ask them for their HDB strata titles.
We must make comparable comparisons, remember?

So working in Australia did not make him smarter?

He said, in comparison to Perth FREEHOLD, our HDB would ALWAYS appreciate in value.
He meant ALWAYS. No 99=0 scam.
Even in China, when the lease is up, renewal is the default.

Well, aren’t the MIW happy to see that? But this is the behaviour of unscrupulous people. Unlike the MIW, our neighbour’s government had decided not to scam their citizens by publishing a new statistics to gauge the basic expenditure needed for decent living.

So, in Johor it will be about RM$1300 per month for a single. Can a SG single survived on S$1300 a month? Don’t BS about exchange rate, no one is earning in SG and spending in MY. This is about earning in your home country and spending it there. For a 4 person household in Kuala Lumpur it is RM6536. In SG, this amount sufficient for a family of 4?
Let’s admit it, our government don’t even dare to publish a similar statistics like our neighbour. Best to keep the daft ones ignorant.

Our gov says 1 or 2 million dollars a year needed for a family.

His brain went down under if you get what I mean.
It’s a favourable comparison.

Don’t talk c**k lah, GMS. How much you pay for a HDB and how much for private?
Want Strata Title? That’s why I say OPPOS & Sinkies are free riders and GREEDY. Want strata? Pay for it and stop trying to be an opportunist!!!

IT IS STUPID (@SRFR) COMPARISON JUST LIKE COMPARING ORANGE WITH GRAPEFRUIT!
There are too many issues with the pigeon hole HDB public flat!
The worst to happen is to see zero value at the end of lease when we have to pay for land cost & property tax where the flat sits. HDB get back the land & laugh all the way to the bank!

Popularism is more and more being used by people not in the ruling party.
This is not only very bad for the little red dot, but is extremely dangerous too.
Best wishes for 2025: to hell with it, the damn popularism!

Thanks you. I had long said that GMS is an opportunist and you just help me remind the readers here again.
The question we must ask GMS and all Oppie chief is how much they pay their political Party employee. Did they pay 1st World Salary ?

Yes, to hell with the popularism. Agreed with you.
The popularism (GMS) said:
No NS please, NS is a waste of time.
Like Zelensky and Ukrainians, the Popularism (GMS) want:
1. Freedom Without Responsibility;
2. Democracy Without Responsibility;
3. Human Rights Without Responsibility.

Please take your issue with the correct Ministry and Ministers.
They are the one who were handsomely paid for solving your housing problems.
Chinese saying 子曰:“不在其位,不谋其政。” meaning if you are not in that position👑, you don’t answer/comment on their behalf.
You can also try Opposition Big Mouth Chief Goh Meng Seng or Dr Chee for solution which I doubt they have any!
btw, please be respectful in addressing me. It should be (@2.5 Dr SRFR)

Are you sure our neighbour’s government don’t scam their citizens?
Let me help refresh your memory.
Dr M said he will “remove” GST if he is elected.
Yes, Dr M “remove” GST after winning, he “remove” by renaming GST to SST.
Is this not scam?

And then the so-called coaches and their crony companies will BLOCK BOOK all the facilities….and run it as a business.
Yes, tax-funded facilities are used by FOR-PROFIT organisations that are well-connected cronies.
Happening for years.
Not meant for public even though tax-funded.
