1. The minister for national development reported in parliament that HDB will ramp up BTO projects, with 150 projects to be built by 2025.
2. I searched the news report to find out how many units are comprised in the 150 projects. I could not find any mention. I am disappointed that the minister failed to give relevant information and the media does not ask for this information.
3. I searched the Internet and found a news report that 10 projects comprising 10,000 units were offered recently. I guess that each project would yield about 1,000 units.
4. The 150 projects would probably yield 150,000 units. This is over a period of three years. The annual rate is 50,000 units per year.
This is rather high. The number of marriages each year is about 25,000.
5. Perhaps some of the flats are required to clear the backlog, as the waiting time for a new flat is currently 5 years.
6. It is possible that HDB is building for more foreigners to live in Singapore. We might be aiming to increase our population to 6.9 million, or even 10 million. This was planned in the past.
7. As the MRT network has been expanded considerably during the past ten years, it can probably cope with the increase in population. However, I am not sure if we are building enough schools, hospitals and other facilities to cater for the bigger population.

The agony of housing shortages.
ReplyDelete1. Delay in marriages which translates to low birth rates.
2. On the rental level, these reasoning shortages translate to high rentals.
3. The same principle applies to resale.
Excess outweighs shortages. Enuf said.
Wishing the Prime Minister of Singapore a very happy 71st birthday. May you have good health to look after Singapore till you are 85 years. Thank You.
ReplyDeleteThere is only one man (non retard) who would never hurt a female and that is her father.

Paid my 5-room $680,000.
ReplyDeleteAdd in interest $800,000.
Divide by 99 years works out to $680 per month.
If I were to rent a 5-roomer it would cost me $3000 per month.
The good is that my 5-room is able to at least last 2 generations.
My only complaint is I am either walking by somebody's unit in which I have to keep looking straight without peeping into someone's unit or doors facing one another.
My wish is that they have better planning in the design so that people can live more privately where they love their home without trying to spend too much time outdoors eating and shopping?
Most couples were divorced or facing relationship tension, living with in-laws and waiting years for their BTO. I am one of them.
ReplyDeleteHow did we even come to such situations where there was prioritization on who was supposed to get BTO first? Poor planning?
ReplyDeleteGetting help from the Budget is one thing, but to put a country over-reliance and rule with money perhaps is going too far?
ReplyDeleteI raise my children to be self-reliant, defend themselves and live within their means.
As a parent, my duty is not to spoon-feed. I provide them with an environment that is safe, and secure, opportunities and good health (health is wealth) and bring happiness in what they do and a base of a good education.
I provide love and encouragement and try to protect them and their well-being. I give my best in being there for them in terms of physically and emotionally.
The one thing I detest is spoiling them with money, the latest gadgets, or material love.
Nobody can help you if you do not help yourselves.
My thoughts are that the needy should be given a special card when they shop for necessities at NTUC or eat at hawker centres be given a 15% discount and cut out all the crap including all GST.
One basic necessity is that housing should be affordable and available so that people are not forced into resale which is pricier and eats into their monthly income where they have less to spend on other necessities.
Entry into secondary and junior colleges and polytechnic should be based half on results and another half on distance weightage. Most households are spending a fortune on tuition and other lessons This ingrained kiasu that school results and the school that you attend defines a person for life mindset should change.
More dual-key homes should be built so that relatives are able to live harmoniously together taking care of the elderly or childcare so as to cut dependence on maids. This in turn cuts household spending.
If the government needs feedback, they need to visit households, not get it from Forward Singapore which did not represent the real picture. Most are for their own benefit not for the real country.

We all know that the government creates most of the problems, either by their policies or their non-action.
ReplyDeleteBut if one listens to the parliament debates, some are there to justify their existence with the nitty-gritty and if you have the patience to follow every word through the whole debate, it is like every individual from birth to death has a problem to be straightened out.
The government's duty now is to go around the globe to find a magic wand. So sad.
