$1250 per sq ft in Bedok - so that our reserves do not get raided

[Confuseous]

The PAP's mantra for workers is make yourself cheaper, better and faster. to be more competitive. But how does one compete when costs are so high. Workers elsewhere enjoy cheaper cost of living even those in Australia or USA, can get a home just outside the city for less than $150K and drive to work for the cost we pay for public transport. The responsibility for our competitiveness does not rest solely on the shoulders of our workers. The high cost of housing eats into everything - our competitiveness, our quality of life, our ability to save and retire ..and ability to start a family.. Ex-minister Mah explained that prices are high to fill the govt reserves - selling homes at lower price is equivalent to raiding our reserves.

Mr Mah Bow Tan did the most honourable thing. He could not fix the problem, so he RESIGNED. Mr Khaw Boon Wan offered his services with the blessing of the PM. If in the next 4 years, the problem cannot be fixed, it is only honourable for these two great leaders to resign and let someone wh is capable to take over their jobs. In the meantime, we sit and watch, sit and watch, sit and watch ......... When the time comes, do you have the balls?

Whose reserves? I am pretty sure I can't lay a claim on that.
