Don't think this will work. First, we knew very well that it's said that if you are not happy, you may just leave(migrant). Who said it, you should know by heart. Second, there are so many new immigrants(PRs who like here, why not, higher pay than home, less competition-like in big country-china.), plus certain amt of poor and certain amt of rich who have been benefitting and no complaints.

So the percentage of influencial citizen has shranked ........and you can imagine the weight of influence by them(citizenry!!)

that's why I said the foreigners come here to jerk up the price and govt just kept reminding us not to offer high cash but they allow those rich PRs to buy HDB, pretending that they don't know the cause of the recent record breaking HDB price, how ironic. Govt is able to do something if they want, so many things have been proven already. Just like the COE, announced that it would be increased by next month, it immediately happened the next month. If it cares about us, it may simply regulate that these are for middle class to stay and not more than certain cash above value is allowed. instead of asking we not to offer higher cash, those were offered by PR(not we). Well, well, am not govt, may be am too simple in thinking.

not to forget, nowadays a 4 room hdb's price is like the small apt/condo in the past, therefore I believe the young graduates have difficulty in affording ideal accomdation as before. think the different of $300k and $550k.............sigh!!

whao, didn't have time to check this site for only 1 day. Just realized how much I miss all the anger we the citizens of Singapore have(the middle class, I suppose). hei, I like the hokkien vulgar word you used here, hardly heard nowadays. and as for Phao" Cheaployees ( a new slogan for this modern city). Do you know that everynight govt allows some homeless Chinachinese sleep in the underground crossway between the Esplanade park to Esplande opera house. I don't understand why for so long a time there wasn't police to arrest them. guess they have already make it their home--why not bigger than 6 room flat and all chicly marbled, no rental, no hassel(cum there is no police hasseling them).........such is a "good" way to look upon switzerland for an example(ever mentioned by our heads).

Singapore is like montecarlo, attracting all the rich to jerk up the property price to an extend that we can't recognise anymore.

Well, will spend the good friday to good through all the posts and have some laugh. haleluya!!! happy holiday!!!

In facts, many already know what is happening in the property market if not all in regard to the pricing. Need not have to "blah blah" here too much. 

THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM.

BE CAREFUL, DIE ALREADY ALSO DO NOT KNOW WHAT  HAD HAPPENED!!!

you are right, better dont 'bleh' too much, this is public forum, sensitive topic.  Think better keep mouth shut!  Tks for reminding. Wait i on the road also dunno how i die.   LOL!

Being a PR in any country, is never a  win-win situation.   Since they want to become one country's PR, at the same time, retain their citizenship of their country of origin, they have to be financially sound in order to meet the great demand holding the PR status.

A no of PR got married to PR and their kids do not need to serve NS!
