Right, exactly. That's what I mean. They shouldn't be commercially leasing these places out to other people till they've settled the rental issue here. That's not right, even though it's commercially sound.

Hahaha, yea. But then again, still should have multiple sizes. Not everyone is gonna want or need such big flats, smaller flats are also good for smaller families or couples or siblings who buy together, etc. I just believe there should be variety to cater to as many different lifestyles as...

Man, I honestly wish what you said was true. No, really. Cos then, would have money, right? Then wouldn't have been in the situation I was in ma. Twit. And still got error, you seem unable to spell it right. I mean, most die hard racists are twits, but you take the cake.

Gotta see results after BTO's hit market, since this discussion was focused on things over the next few years, not just right now.. Also, EM services stops using all the old flats that were en-bloced but have not been demolished yet and we house people there instead. After all that is done, THEN...

Agreed. At the very least, the option for them to volunteer to do so should exist, if the die-die must do scenario is not viable for now. I do know of new citizens who would very much be willing to volunteer for the police, or fire department, or as a paramedic. I know we have auxiliary...

There really isn't a best of both worlds, other than perhaps having a place to fall back on should you decide to go. Not every country has benefits available for citizens overseas and earning above a certain amount, and things are more expensive as a PR than a citizen, and same taxes. And I say...

I absolutely agree the state has no obligation to "repay" PRs. I don't think I ever said otherwise. What I was talking about was the bind Singaporean kids who are born here but have PR parents face later. Also, I never denied they're a factor. I said they aren't the driving force of the...

I don't get why people say that....What benefits are there? He gets no benefits from a home country he hasn't been home in years, and essential services are much more expensive for him. How is that the best of both worlds? Really, I would actually like to understand this POV...

A lot of you have this misconception that when all that was said, I KPKB. Not true. My only real gripe with HDB was that the family unit is focused on the father(at that time at least. need to check if it's been updated). Even if my mother were alive at that time, even though I'm a citizen, they...

Do your research, they actually are the minority of the market. Prices going up has a lot of other factors beyond who is buying. Also, since we're talking about the flood gate and all, who's selling the flats to the PRs, since they can only by resale? Vastly more complex then you make it out to...

That's the best you've got? Ahahahaha. I shaved my head and it's growing out now. But hey, even if I do grow bald it's all good. Don't feel the need to compensate with all these treatments. @Poomer Naw, would hardly stalk myself. Don't have that inflated an opinion of myself, unlike some...

You're welcome to how you feel, and I am sorry you feel that way. I don't see it that way, personally. And I'm one of those born in the 80's kids, so it's not like it's all about the flashy, glitzy stuff for me. Honestly, we could scale back on certain things and invest in other areas. But I...

No, we just love the country we grew up in as our home. But yes, many Singaporeans have asked me that. It's ironic. On the one hand, the complaints are we don't wanna take up citizenship, don't wanna integrate, etc. But when we do, everyone is in disbelief and asking why we would do it. And...

Now, anyone interested in all that was said by me and the others at the dialogue, drop me a message and let's talk shop. Those who're just interested in being bigots who bash, you may wanna find a target who isn't actually Singaporean at heart. Koteks.

Also,the differentiation is quite large. You can actually find the differentiation listed out online, to get a clear picture of just how big it is. I never disagreed with how there should be differentiation, I was just pointing out that the existing differentiation was both quite large and...
