Chitchat PAP hideaway?

Always fancied a private bolthole for vacations away from the city bustle?

One Singaporean businessman clearly did, so much so that he reportedly spent almost 5.5 million Australian dollars (S$5.5 million) on an island off the coast of Tasmania, according to a report by Australia's national broadcaster ABC.

For less than the cost of many condos in Singapore - which in March topped the Economist Intelligence Unit's "world's most expensive city" list for the third straight year - the unnamed man purchased Waterhouse Island, a 300-hectare island about 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) off the northeast coast of the Australian state.

The island came with a three-bedroom main house, a guest cottage, sheep-shearing shed, airstrip, permanent power supply and mobile phone reception, the ABC reported.

It could, however, only be accessed only by charter flight or boat, according to the property's sales listing on real estate site domain.com.au.

Property agent Ant Manton of Ray White told the ABC that he believed the buyer planned to use it as a holiday destination.

"I think down the track there might be some plans for an eco-tourism type development but at this stage just a magnificent private retreat in the middle of Bass Strait," Manto said.

man hope one day i can become a billionaire and buy my own island and start a new singapore......a clean eco friendly green sustainable city with optimal population of 1 or 2 million and human density ten times lesser than singapore with plenty of room for expansion at least ten times land mass of singapore the friggin red dot and a optimal gdp per cap of 35,000,no need 70,000 gdp or number one in the world.gini must be lower than 0.30.everything must be green renewable and sustainable,solar,wind turbine or hydroelectricity,water recycling plants and desalination plants,all transport must be zero or close to zero emission.all these factors must be written into the constitution and preserved for eternity regardless of who the government is,they must be the inalienable rights of all future sinkie generations..........also one important thing,foreigners must not exceed 10 percent of the population,anyone who did not immigrate there within the first three generations of the colony being started is considered a foreigner.basically if u are not on the first boat of queen mary or coolie boats of nanyang to the new singapore colony or the subsequent two generations, u are considered a foreigner and not allowed to call urself a native.

pristine beaches and crystal clear blue seawater,beautiful nature everywhere and the weather must be perfect 20 degrees year round,30 in the summer.
