Okay, I'm still on the damned floor. And I still believe that
public housing upgrading must be borne by the incumbent power that
chooses to implement it. It is USELESS to get the people to pay an
amount, no matter how SYMBOLIC you want to emphasize the
"no-free-lunch" mentality.
We're talking about a public good here, a priori, it has to be
funded by the State.Anything else is hogwash, mule feed and no
attempt at salesmanship will disguise that very fact.You don't have
funds to pay for it? Do it in batches.
Oh I forgot, it was done in batches, yet perhaps there was a
problem of prioritising the Budget eh? 
And if Singaporeans vote to continue this same line of governmental
policy, then they should take their own stupidity to court and sue
them.
