Why Tell Us to Have Sex, But Wait 4 Yrs for PHoles?

Courtship timeline

'Missed one...the three to four years of waiting to buy a HDB flat after marriage.''
MR SAM SIM: 'In describing the timeline of a typical Singaporean courtship, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said a couple meet, get to know each other for a year two, get married and enjoy their marriage for a few years before deciding to have a baby. PM Lee missed one Singaporean aspect: the three to four years of waiting to buy a HDB flat after marriage. Like most of my friends, my family-raising plans have been delayed by three to four years. I hope the Government can look into prioritising new flats for newly-weds, a young family or a couple expecting their first child.''

This is why some couples register first to get the HDB flat while waiting

Nobody is being forced to wait for those crummy pigeon holes. There's such a thing as consumer choice.

People are free to buy private apartments if they so choose.

... There's such a thing as consumer choice ...

consumer choice is one thing, the ability to afford is another. the actual problem lies in their inability to think for themselves on how to work smart and earn more.

the crux is that Sinkies have the "crutch mentality" and why? the Government has been busy churning out serfs rather than active Citizens capable of thinking on their own, less to survive on their own...

 

[Leongsam]

If they don't have the ability to earn enough to buy private property, it would be best if they didn't have children.

That's a bit harsh lah 90% of us would be childless if that's the case

The top 10% should have 90% of the children.... not the other way round.

i totally agree, but the sad part is the poorer folks tend to have more kids... do the parents even spare a thought for their unborn child? the dire situation they are going to be in?

Back to the subject of polygamy huh?

be it the rich or the poor, the humping can carry on anyway...

 

[zhihau]

not quite. the rich who can afford more children can jolly well produce more babies, like 5 or 6 of them. the poorer folks could make 1 or 2, depending on how much they can afford. :p

Meaning the woman has to produce almost every year or so? Simultaneous production by 2 or more women may be more feasible rite?

 

[zhihau]

don't have to produce every year what... a gap of 2~3 years each sounds good.

I guess they expect us to sex in parents flat, when baby comes and 4 years later then only can have flat :(

I like the term" Active Citizen". It is the exact opposite of "Sinkie".

yes - and push the car to malaysia when it breaks down as there are no car mechanics in Singapore.
