You said our housing is the envy of many first world countries. Name those first world countries. Show us surveys of American or Canadian expatriates so we may see to what extent they prefer the small sized yet expensive apartments they are squeezed into now compared to the huge bungalows they have back home.

You said it is unfair to say that the PAP has failed in housing based on the strong foundations upon which we were built. But those foundations were built by our forefathers. The flats today are mostly built by previous leaders like Mr Lim Kim San. When will the present PAP government ever stop basking in the glory of previous generations and start asking themselves what exactly have they contributed to housing today other than sky high property prices? There is very little that the present government has to show to refute the nationwide belief that it has failed miserably in housing the people.

At this time, Lim was appointed to the Housing and Development Board (HDB). He had volunteered for the job and had not been paid for three years. It was in this position that Lim oversaw the massive construction of high-rise, low-cost apartments that will eventually become the main source of housing for Singaporeans.
