When we compare our city with HK, the only thing we have caught
up with them is the small and limited living space. Other
things like salary, GDP, not.
The recent clementi DBSS (I am only talking about the 5 rm cuz
it's the biggest unit they are selling), it totally reminded me of
the apartment that I stayed in HK. I used to think that only
HK apartments are designed in such a way that the moment you enter
the bedroom, you can touch the bed. Now after seeing the
recent showflat, I am confident to say Singapore is "catching up"
and will surpass HK very soon.
check first when you compare Singapore to HK. 2011 Singapore GNP
hit 260 billion, HK is 243.3 billion. on per capita basis,
Singapore is $50,700 while HK is $34,300.
Ask the HK people what they think about the 35000 cap for
双非parents giving birth in HK, ask them about granting PR status to
phillipino maids, ask them about the "locust"....
As far as population is concerned, Singapore will never catch up
HK, Singapore is 5 million, you know how many people are there in
HK? Singaporean can still buy HDB, and you still have the choice of
DBSS, ask what choice do the young couples in HK have????
Tell the young HK couples who have just got married, about
giving birth, buying apartment...tell us what they tell you.
You still living in HK?
