  Once the can of worms of allowing PR to own HDB flats has open. now we all know, what drive up the property market. i mean the idiotic explaination of govt that PR are the the cause of driving up property market are nuts. govt explaination cannot simply ignore the facts on basic economics facts, supply n demand. If suddenly there are 3 PR out of 5 buyers competing to buy a resale flats, will it indirectly drive up the resale price of HDB flats? 

   

  
  u've clearly forgotten tat as a country becomes more and more developed and land usage becomes more intensive, prices of land would only go up abeit the rate is somewhat in controversy.

  furthermore, how much land do we have?

  Yes, you should ask the people at the top how much land we have left before they embark on another round of population increases.

  it's not just population..

  if we begin to go higher level in e industries, then it's likely you see big big plants but employing very few ppl.. They're highly machinised..

  go to Tuas to take a look at these mega factories.

  They need to hire more foreign workers since almost 40% of the Sg population are foreigners.

  You can't beat him.

   

  Odds of him getting a million dollars a year - 100%

   

  Odds of you striking toto for a million dollars - approximately 1 in 8 million.
