You don't own anything at all
-
Have it ever actually occured to you that you actually do not have any physical material possessions?Look at the majority of us who live in HDB flats, its actually on lease from the govt. for 99yrs we don't actually own the cars we drive as its also on loan for a period of 10yrs.
Its like we work like a dog for over 60% of our lives and we actually don't own the house we live in, the cars we drive. How do you feel about that? -
Actually you may be right.
My dad once told me, the richest people are those kampong or village people.
Cause when they die, they will leave land and property to their children. the land they are living on is already theirs! They can cultivate it as they deem appropriate. -
thats the trump card of the gaffers.

Everything is on loan here. u dun own anything. u will work and protect the country till the day u die. We r just worker ants n earning peanuts

I came to this realisation this morning while studying for my exam in the afternoon. Its like, it hit me that we work for 30-40yrs then we cannot pass on our house to our kids or grandkids etc...its like really we don't own anything man in the country

ermm technically your theory is not correct.
HDB flats generally keep their value or likely appreciate so if you have wanted to,you can sell it away for that amount of $$ back which you can then decide to give it as an inheritance
Car?k maybe not but well the theory is just that its value depreciate alot and you will not get back much but still you accepted that when you buy it thus you did accept the ownership of a car for 10 years,if it was truely leased like what you said,after 10 years,do you return the car to the govt? No,at the very worst,you can sell it for scrap which is not much thou,but still the scrap is for you to sell.
If you have enough money left after all these heavy expenditure and invested wisely,these are also your ownership and is free for you to be given as an inheritance too provided that for all your stuff,you draw up a proper will if not good luck,the govt will tax the hell of out it.
Beside these are all material stuff,you can't even take any of these with you when your time is up,ownership or not,it does not really matters at the end of the day -
