If my laobu wants to go back to Thailand for her retirement, why would i as children stop her from doing it?
If this is the best arrangement for her, then as children, i will gladly support her decision. So, am i the problem?

Of course not, i would do the same if i were you.

But the issue here, is the policy correct for a country?

 

[Eureka75]

Maybe they need more time to turn the ground sentiments around ? Anw let’s wait for further news

Not normal for the PAP tl allow so much time for the opposition parties to walk and cover all the flats before they hold elections?

 

[evildoer]

So in meantime where they stay ? Jus keep renting till 50?

no i mean hdb over 50 years..

 

[StoicGuy]

Usually president needs to dissolve the parliament 3 weeks before polling day.

I am not surprised if this is to be postponed to June or July because the government need to be functioning to handle the tariff situation.

 

[Eureka75]

later they will tell u this time round they got kervyn lim...

Still got many people joke they are no substance/ nonsense or Nicole Seah Party

Foreigners and PRs can always buy multiple private condominium apartments and landed properties once they reached 18 years old ok!

 

[evildoer]

cannot let PR to buy HDB for profit.. Tax them gao gao if they sell.. or they can only buy flat that is >50 years.

 

[boredom2012]

But amidst global uncertainty , wouldn’t sinkies flock to voting for tried and tested pap ?

Well daft sinkies will do that. Last COVID already shown what pap is capable of.

[charleslee1989]

[evildoer]

i am actually soft on the inside

 

[charleslee1989]

Have you not studied finance in university and learned about the concept of "time value of money"?

not all learnt that in uni leh....

 

[charleslee1989]

If non sell..go back hdb..one of the direct outcome is many agent would lose the hdb resale market.. lesser income to them.

And that will f@rk up the Manpower Minister's employment KPI to no end....

Should tax PR 50% of the proceeds of HDB flat sales when they renounce their PR to balik kampong

Take foreign spouses as an example, the next question to ask is, why are Singaporean men looking for foreign spouses instead of Singaporean women?
The next question will be whether it's correct to have a policy to say foreign spouses are banned to prioritize Singapore women, or the foreign spouses need to go through stringent profile checks.

So ultimately, it's a choice right? If you are in love with a foreigner and wants to settle down in Singapore, then the policies should not stop you from chasing for your happiness isn't it?

yes , and without PR the resale market will be felt a lot calmer too. Singapore land so limited. Most of them just make use of our properties markets to make XXXXXX profit.. and back with their profit.. And i think they shouldn't have special account in CPF too.. and pass the interest into Singaporean account. we have to start looking after our own.

 

[fatscaryuncle]

Should make pr can only sell back to hdb instead of in open market. Don't let them when balik kampong want to cash out fry the market at the expense of people really staying here.

Know here got many jhk prs hor edmwers

yes PAP don't know how to protect Singaporean . the system is flawed..

PR here should only use HDB (public housing) for living. Not for profit

Sounds logical
