And these prized BTOs are not for sponging by new citizens. Only give to people who have been citizens for at least ten years!

No difference who it is given to as there will be a balloting system that is not full proof and may benefit one party more than another...the most basic condition would be can only sell after 20 years and also only people staying in hdb with less than 40 years of lease can apply even so not foolproof

Balloting? Why not special prefference to those with family
PAP treats those with children shabilly. They get badically no special treatment in the firm of car purchase( essential for those with children) to medical ( your medical cost is multiplied by the number of people in the family)

Wow look at all the real estate jackals swarming around their coveted prey.

Already plenty of high SES condo homes there: Corals, Carribean, Reflections. Still not enough? Still not satisfied? :rolleyes:

If its all about size, then we cant beat our neighbours! After we reach 10 mil, then what? 15, 20 mil? And our flats to build up to 500 floors?

Maybe we should really learn from Austria or Luxembourg. They have small population and they never see increasing the population as a means to boost the economy.

that's true. increasing population is a very clumsy, perhaps desperate way to sustain an economy.

Of course there is a difference the more stringent the criteria the less the competition in the balloting for qualified people.

Although family with at least three children is one important criteria, must adhere to racial quota too for the BTO.

9000 flats in Keppel club site are nothing, already and easily built up by one China developer in JB within four years.

you have no more hokkien eggs, how?
This is no Hokkien but Roman history. I am applying what I am now reading of Roman land reforms. 20 years no sell and three children are all what some Romans suggested. Not sure whether implemented though. Do you know? Anyway make sense! No difference between giving land and giving prized BTO indeed.

Its too late to revert back to 3.5 mil. The wheels of repopulating the island started decades ago. After the south, they will start developing the north where the planned BTS and HSR stations will be built.

And 70% sinkies love this policy of increasing population ... You can't fault PAP! The majority of voters wanted this! :biggrin:
i honestly think the majority of voters don't know what they want. PAP you say. I say father was quite good at taking care of country, son less so. :laugh:
