Khaw Boon Wan, Minister of National Development, Chairman PAP and ‘probably
Singapore best Health Minister ‘ (that according to the PM who promised Swiss living
standard only for his elites but Swiss living cost for the rest of us and who appointed
him to the post) , appears to be styling himself as the Spin King Extraordinaire with
his latest Budget debate speech.
Please bear in mind how this self-proclaimed, practising religious man, very forgiving,
instead of apologising for a serious lapse (first time in 25 years) in the Fernvale espisode,
chose to spin the Butterfly Lovers tale to deflect responsibility.
It has come to the point where instead of assuming integrity of info in the august chamber
of parliament, I now need to fact-check ALL claims that ALL PAP ministers make.
Likewise, WP’s info.
I am not in the real estate business. So, with regard to the preface to Khaw’s claim
of the ‘more benign situation’ (i.e. public housing) in Singapore, I did a check on info
available on the net. Here’s the result of my trouble.
Chobham Manor vs HDB – Profit-seeking Private vs Public-Service Housing
Confining my brief research to the Chobham Manor development, we can now compare
almost apple-to-apple:
