When your parenst pass away. I think u need to sell off that HDB cos the government doesn't allow. By then, u can be very poor again. haah

you do not have to sell the hdb flat that your parents own when they pass away.... 99 years' rule applies .... but you cannot buy a new hdb flat under their names.

charlize SG

Don't say until like that.

There is only one and only reason for raising GST, that is to help the poor. 99% of Singaporeans will be happy for the raise.

It's good that they care for the poor.

Really.

You just need to read the ST and realise that Singaporeans are generally very happy people.

Nonsense.

Singaporeans are genrally very rich.

Most earn million dollar salaries so that is why housing, transportation and almost everything is affordable.

I'm not in the low income group but many of my frens are....yes the stuffs are "affordable" but need to borrow $ to pay for house....is a 20 to 30 yrs loan still consider as "affordable"?

Yes.

Toto is the great income gap narrowing tool for Singapore.

av98m SG

Nonsense.

The incumbent party will win the elections again.

And raise GST to reward its loyal supporters.

we can see how much better life has become for the poor since the GST was raised to 7%

Life will be better when it is 10% or 15%.

Really.

This is what 25-35 yrs old think (10 years ago)>buy HDB>sell HDB>make 100K>buy condo>pay cash 150K>CPF100K>loan400K...bingo 600K condo! Installment 20yrs and pay 2K per month

This is what 25-35 yrs old think (now) >buy condo>pay 50K>CPF 150K>loan 800K.....bingo 1m condo !!! Installment 35yrs and pay on 2K per month!!

It is not difficult to know why condo is above 1m!

So with 800K new PR and families in Singapore + 1% of rich Indo chinese, Indian, PRC chinese..this is why HDB is above 600K and condo is reaching 1.5m

I'm feeling fearful that this election's outcome would be nasty. I believe that our government is working for the best for us. Not just for their own pockets but also for US. So think before you vote. Do you really want a new government? Do you not get what you need? Look at other countries. Our current government is already doing its best for US. Due to the lack of resources Singapore dont really have anything to 'sell' and the economic growth is not steady. You might not have a lot but i'm sure most Singaporean would have enough to live with.
