Singapore - lowest % property ownership in the world?
-
I opened todays paper and saw HDB ad.
Singaporeans only own a "HDB lease and tenancy agreement"
If you infringe their "HDB lease and tenancy agreement", they can compulsorily
acquire the flat for infringement". You can be made homeless if you infringe their rules.
If we assume 85% of Singaporeans living in HDB flats, The Singaporeans
who owns a property rather than a lease is 15%.Doesnt this make it the lowest property ownership in the world? -
we dun relli own anything in singapore
not even car -
Good observations!

i think HDB is a quite a good political tool to control the people.
If you vote for the right party, the lease can be given reseted back to 99 years under some upgrading programme.
if they vote for the wrong party, thats too bad. The reason is only good policies
can reset the lease, those who did not vote for PAP are not voting for the good policies and get what they deserved.. -
If you don't own anything here what is the meaning of staying here, serving ns here and etc?

Singapore still has plus points especially when you compare with countries in poverty. But i think they know they are unable to meet the aspiration of the new generation of Singaporeans, perhaps thats why they try to compare with countries that are worst off than us rather than those who are better than us.Originally posted by (human):If you don't own anything here what is the meaning of staying here, serving ns here and etc? -

Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own. The government has made us feel that the country don't belong to us. Or should put it that it looks more like thiers?

What I want to know is why everything is going up, if there really a need for the bloody transportation company to make so much profits? This is a smart move on the PAP side, they privatised everything so profits is number one, and they can wash they hands off everything. Fark if everything is privatised, Singaporeans are going to die because profits will be number one, not keeping the cost of living down...Originally posted by kilua:Singapore still has plus points especially when you compare with countries in poverty.

The government is treating the citizens like a guest if there is no real ownership. Citizens should treat Singapore like an inn or hotel?
-
Yeah I really love this government, why should I feel attachment to a country that wants me out and wants FT in? Woots I feel so happy. Lets vote for them forever!

It is like saying,Originally posted by FireIce:ur luck and fate u are born in singapore

"You can always die one you know? You do not need to see the doctor and pay the exorbitant fees one you know? You have a choice one you know?"
What kind of choice? It should be,
"You have a choice to choose your government, you know?"
Please don't tell me Singaporeans have a choice. -
We only own Debts
We owe our leaders for leading us towards such advance progress -
They own our arse.Originally posted by (human):Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own. The government has made us feel that the country don't belong to us. Or should put it that it looks more like thiers? -
Need to check with you guys something. They only give us back our CPF when we give up our citizenship? So if my PR application in another country is approved, how soon will I get it?

If you know you don't really own any thing in Singapore, do you still risk your life protecting Singapore? Those who serve NS will they not think they have been made used by the government to protect those who are real in ownership?

Is it really impossible for the HDB to reduce all HDB units by $40,000 each? Will they still make a loss or profit? I have a feeling they still profit.
-
Cut $100,000 still profit lah... With the interest you pay on the loans, COE and medical expenses? Singaporeans should have extra $300,000 in their bank accounts by the time they hit 65 if not for the "hidden taxes".Think about it, if Singapore is a real democracy, you have extra $300,000 in your bank account!Originally posted by bigmouthjoe:Is it really impossible for the HDB to reduce all HDB units by $40,000 each?

Can still be the same people in power but they dare not take your money like that in case you kick them out.
Why do you think they have so much money to "invest" in Thailand (Shin Corp) and other property development projects in Bangkok; Hong Kong (Dao Heng Bank) and Australia (Optus) among others... -
In that case... why make it so expensive? Last time my friends pay off quite fast (in 10 years I think), now it seems like my friends paying forever...Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:Cut $100,000 still profit lah...

main reason is to have control over your basic needs. so you will never dare to go against them.
realise why there are not demonstration here? mainly because people have to work. otherwise don't work, no money (also because we pay and pay), which will lead to no food, no house, no this no that.
