  if let say singaporean pays 5%, PRs pays 10% or 20% then i got nothing to say.

  The difference must be large enough to reflect the tremendous sacrifice of national service...On the other hand, if first generation PRs must also serve NS, then I have nothing to say also

  An upgraded flat won't cost you another 100k you dummy.

  unless u have bought the 1st generation flats tat cost less than 50k, u will not b making a profit...

  W/o these PRs where would Singapore be today? They built this country too just like us. Very often, they get much lower pay than us.

  ha ha ah...
  
  Yeah, we should pay for their groceries too!!!

  Its no good for people to buy and sell houses to make profit. I'm glad that the govt impose levy on sales. Otherwise the less well off and new home buyers will die.

  Sigh, the upgrading thing is again being used as a political tool. What is new?
  
  The PAP-run municipalities are cash-rich. Surely they can afford to do the job at low cost for all residents.
