Dun say 5 million...Once it hits 2 mil for the most expensive hdb resale flat and hit 1 million in those more ulu area and people cannot buy a flat and go on with life even with the most generous loans, then the ruling party will be in a cul-de-sac...

Remember, those prime and plus can only sell the whole flat or rent out rooms nia even after MOP....

What Desmond Lee done with the prime and plus model is just build up a dam of housing pressures (with new "locals" joining in every year) at those sites hoping that the newer BTOs in non-mature estates will attract SC-SC or SC-PR couples to go there rather than join in the Resale market for Prime and Plus sites that PR-PR couples can also join in.

However, this will inevitably affect the TFR which cascades its sai into other areas.

In other words, what Desmond Lee has done is to kick the can down the road for the next minister of national development and pray hard that the resale prices dun sky rocket uncontrollably especially for the P&P areas. He and his party did nothing to relieve demand pressures while only increasing supply in not so well connected places for the Singaporean Electorate.

Really weird that the electorate cannot see this....
for sure they can see but they do it to protect their interests

Most likely is pap wants to weaken aljunied grc to make wp wonder whether to defend aljunied or attack Tampines.

Imho, wp should attack Tampines and defend aljunied at the same time if they have enough quality candidates.
Bad idea, they should go attack punggol first, defend aljunied, take whole north east first.

Only 3800+ voters, mostly from new BTO built that did not vote last elections.

Aiya, just hope they target the areas that PSP/SDP/WP are contesting ba. Please no multi-corner fights in those areas.

RDU last elections target jurong GRC, etc. all these areas where PSP did not contest due to lack of outreach ( they still new around that time), hope they can stick to it.

The other parties please don't kachiao, elections timing then come up to disturb. Don't pull opposition name down now please.
You mean not contesting in?

Frankly speaking they stand no chance of winning. Only die-hard oppo (~ 30% of all voters) will vote for them.

And should they get into multi-cornered fight, I'm not sure if they can even win enough votes to keep their deposits or not..
any multi-cornered fight is just a straight fight between PAP and WP (if WP contest)
