One one hand....it allows more 'higher' income couples to buy HDB. (Which is good for those high income earner PR and FT) Based on the 25-35%(I think i read it somewhere) of monthly income ratio used to finance the HDB installment as the affordability benchmark. If if adjust higher income ceiling, then only need 15-20% of income ratio to finance future HDB. Higher income ceiling means = HDB is even more affordable for the citizen? Correct or not? National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan has hinted that the income ceiling for new Build-To-Order (BTO) flats could be raised to S$10,000. Speaking to reporters after a walkabout in Tampines on Tuesday morning, Mr Mah said the review is being done as the property market now is more stable. Mr Mah said the review will be conducted after the election and is expected to be completed within six months. He said: "We will have to look at how much salaries have gone up, how fast and what is the affordability level. The affordability level is based on how much of their income is being used to service their loan. "So I think we will look at all these criteria and we will make sure the income ceilings, the prices, the loans, the repayments, etc, all fall into place so that the first-timers will be able to afford and will be able to buy our HDB flats."

Understand from MOM website that for service sector, foreign worker dependency ceiling is 50% of total workforce. Just wondering if employer himself is counted as part of this "total workforce".

Bros I am thinking of DIY-ing a playhouse for my 5 cats. Something along this idea (see pic) but indoors. But first I need to buy an extendable metal pole which can stretch from floor to ceiling (~ 2.4m). Saw something in the Ikea catalogue which is for those exposed cupboards but it is kind of pricey at $180. I still need to buy boards so that costs something as well. Do you know of any place I can buy such poles at perhaps a cheaper rate? TIA.

Anyone has that ? It has this Temperature sensor "LED illumination lamp" - this "LED illumination lamp" is it also a lamp that provide lighting ? I am not so into the temperature sensor but am looking for a good ceiling fan with light. If you have it, how much you pay for it ? Thanks !!

Any thoughts on above?
