WE THANK Mr James Koh for his letter on Wednesday ('Unfair'). Mr
Koh commented that it is unfair for permanent residents to be able
to own private properties overseas during the minimum occupation
period for HDB flats while Singaporeans cannot own local private
properties during the minimum period. The measure to disallow the
concurrent ownership of private properties and non-subsidised HDB
flats during the minimum occupation period introduced on Monday
applies to local and overseas private properties.

Problem is foreigners dun declare what they have back at home,
while we locals have all the data with them.
