SINGAPORE - Selling new HDB flats for $90,000 to $270,000, making maternal and paediatric care mostly free, reducing GST to 7 per cent, and removing the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).

These are some proposals put forth by the Singapore Democratic Party on April 20 as it unveiled its manifesto for the upcoming polls on May 3.

SDP argues this will make homes cheaper because the cost of an HDB flat will only include the cost of construction and administration.

It said HDB flats with 99-year leases will be built on land specially zoned for public housing and not contain a land cost component. This is unlike the current HDB practice of including the cost of land in public housing.

SDP said it believes the NOM scheme can offer 2-room flats at around $90,000; 3-room at $120,000; 4-room units at $200,000; and 5-room apartments at $270,000.

It added that studio apartments with 30-year leases can be sold for around $40,000.

This is what we called raiding the reserve. Sell to edmwers at $270,000 so that edmwers can sell for $1,300,000, fleeching one million dollars from the government?

Absolutely not!!!

 

[deathan9el]

say until satki
later if it's not gonna happen oso xiasuay

 

[Tormented Soul]

I think main problem is because SDP cant attract enough young talented candidates. Too little volunteers for them to do things.

Even their social media, websites updates all lacking compared to WP

 

[GhostZM]

Lol with that proposal, no one would vote for them..


CheerS!!!

 

[Mancunian2]

it's nonsense like these that gives opposition a bad name

PAP will latch on it to discredit all oppositions in one broad stroke

Buy $250,000

can only sell back hdb ... 160 media left out the critical parts headlines to make sdp sound radical

shitt biased times

SDP proposes NOM flats only be sold back to HDB at the purchase price less the consumed lease, and their leases cannot be transferred in the HDB resale market.

It suggests current owners of open market flats will have the option of converting to the NOM scheme, where the Government will return an amount based on the original purchase price from the HDB and the price of an NOM flat of the same type.

HDB will also hold a buffer stock of HDB flats to enable Singaporeans to obtain their flats with minimal waiting times.

 

[tuxguy]

It’s a solution with good intention BUT what abt those ppl already bought? Their properties jitao deflate?

 

[nasfieldjohn]

new hdb bto ish papies cash cow
sure rejected like lowing car coe cash cows

 

[CCCustom]

dont be fooled, the entire SDP CEC voted chiam out, even SDP MP Ling How Doong and Cheo Chai Chen did not support Chiam

That’s exactly the thing … Gombak and Nee Soon voters did not vote for Ling How Doong and Cheo Chai Chen … they voted for Chiam See Tong. They saw this as 过河拆桥.
