Singaporean siblings can buy HDB ? Wait Long Long !!!

[HokkienMee]

SINGAPORE: Unmarried Singaporean and Permanent Resident (PR) siblings whose parents live overseas can no longer buy a new or resale HDB flat, from Monday.

The government said they can either rent a room or a small flat from the open market.

It said with the liberalisation of the subletting market for HDB flats over the years, the Citizen-Singapore PR sibling scheme, introduced since 1990, is now no longer necessary.

Previously, the government allowed unmarried Singaporean siblings to buy a new or resale HDB flat, while PR siblings could buy a resale flat on a case-by-case basis with certain conditions attached.

Senior Minister of State for National Development & Education Grace Fu said: "As HDB has been very stringent in assessing applications for this scheme, the number of such cases is small.

"There are about 300 cases each year, or less than one per cent of total flat transactions".

mostly Malaysian Chinese have benefited from this scheme.

300 each year ............

300 x 20yrs = 6000 cases for the past 20 years . Of the 6000 cases, how many % belongs to PR siblings ?

HDB is sleeping on the job in allowing PR (NOT SINGAPORE CITIZEN) siblings to buy a resale HDB Flat.As the HDB rules are so strictly applied to us Singaporeans,WHY MUST HDB GIVE SO MUCH LEEWAY TO PR SIBLINGS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS ???
HDB KNOW THE LAW AND KNOWINGLY BREAK THE LAW.ONLY UNTIL THE PEOPLE OF SINGAPORE VOICED UNHAPPINESS THEN NOW ONLY THEY DECIDE TO STOP THIS PRACTICE OF FAVOURING PR.WHAT IS SO GREAT ABOUT PR ANYWAY ???
