In the wake of the economic downturn, it has been reported that help would now be given not just to the low (income) class but also the middle class (specifically, the low-middle class). In the same report, the low (income) class was defined as a family with a total household income of $1500 and below, while the low-middle class was defined as those with a total household income of $1501-$2500.
Not too long ago, during the foreign-workers-domitory-in-Serangoon-Gardens saga, it was reported that those staying in the landed properties in Serangoon Gardens were middle class. Any one here knows how are households classified in Singapore in terms of income/class? I'm confused...

Why do they even bother to 'classify' households in the first place... opens door for social classification AND is ambiguous.
Should just state that for what income range and such.... that way, everyone can be clear (or at least, clearer) This post has been edited by Scoots: Jan 5 2009, 04:14 PM |

HDB use 8k as the cap on the egliability to purchase a HDB flat. Maybe 8k can be use as a benchmark for the classes criteria.
