Fuelsaver Supercharged August 12, 2014 Share August 12, 2014 you can get a 450 sq ft 2 room flat at $70K, and that is only eligible for one person to stay something is wrong here - the "upper" class is justifying how "beautiful" is small but are living in much bigger residences. so whatever LKS or the likes give talks on "how to" etc etc etc, i would take it as a "brainwashing" session. they probably want the peasants to continue to pay thru they pockets while working hard to serve their needs. be aware when the "upper" class share their "secrets" of success i suppose. spore private property price skyrocketed high because we got hdb spore F&B price skyrocketed high because we got hawker centre minister ask you want hawker, foodcourt or restaurant as far as public housing is concerned, spore 7 : 1 hk ... kena trashed like brazil as far as private housing ... both are skyrocketed high apple-to-apple comparison guess what - the hawker ctr at my place recently got A&A-ed & food prices increased slightly. actually i'm ok with previous hawker ctr that was oredi upgraded yrs back. 242k for 16sq m is CHEAP. This is ONLY 1400 psf. KNN, even jurong is more expensive than this now. Clementic is over 2000 psf for studio. Actually when I went hongkong, and walked past their property dealer office with all the resale condo ad outside, I LAUGHED. People say hongkong is expensive, but actually singapore has caught up and overtook, depends on where you compare with. This really shows how weak the government is and how much change has to be made. i dont consider 1400psf as "cheap"; then again, it's relative. govt is pro-rich, wat to do. serve their pocket (deep deep) before serving ppl. they just need a very justifiable reason - if no rich come & invest, who feed you n ur family? the problem now is hdb also want to go atas-level ... no $500k no talk think they forgotten their motto of "to provide affordable housing". that y now mus find reason to justify that, esp when based on median salary, how clever.

Galantspeedz Turbocharged August 12, 2014 Share August 12, 2014 i think the major difference is HK govt housing is truly for the needy while SG govt housing is for the majority... that is the big difference The other point is... people take hk price divide by 6 and says SG price is higher... so my question is does majority of HK people earn 6 times more than us? HK median income is hkd $22k , about sgd $3.6k http://www.news.gov.hk/en/categories/finance/html/2013/05/20130527_142244.shtml SG median household income is $7.8k http://sbr.com.sg/economy/news/singapores-median-household-income-4-7870 So Singapore housing more expensive? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then those small expensive hk condos are for the super rich or the poor? both does not sound right to me leh... logically, its better to have a thick middle class group, like in SG. this way, the majority of population are secured and remain happy. its a common knowledge that a huge disparity gap between rich and poor will create alot of social and economic problems.
