Honestly at this point of time, definitely no easy way out. Either the current home-owners accept lower selling price or those unable to buy a house will just continue with their current situation.

MBT created a mess during his time with his "Asset-Enhancement" scheme (btw he also came out with ERP and COE for your information), then Lawrence Wong during his time in MND and Desmond Lee later also did nothing but exacerbate the situation to what it is currently.

Here’s a point-by-point breakdown comparing the NOM scheme with the current HDB model, across several key factors:

---

1. Affordability​

• NOM Scheme: Very High
  • Flat prices exclude land cost — significantly cheaper ($90k–$270k range).
  • Opens access to homeownership for lower-income groups.
• Current HDB Model: Moderate
  • Prices are subsidized but still include land value; costlier, especially in mature estates.

---

2. Resale Profit Potential​

• NOM Scheme: None
  • No capital gains — flats can only be sold back to HDB at original price minus lease consumed.
• Current HDB Model: High
  • Allows for capital appreciation in the resale market, forming a pillar of retirement planning.

---

3. Mobility & Flexibility​

• NOM Scheme: Limited
  • Owners may feel “trapped” — they can’t unlock equity for upgrading or relocating.
• Current HDB Model: High
  • Owners can sell and move, upsize/downsize, or cash out.

---

4. Speculation Risk​

• NOM Scheme: Very Low
  • No open market resale = no incentive for speculative buying.
• Current HDB Model: Moderate to High
  • While measures exist (e.g., MOP, loan limits), resale profits still attract speculative interest.

---

5. Social Stratification Risk​

• NOM Scheme: High
  • Two-tier housing system might emerge: “asset-owning” vs. “non-asset-owning” citizens.
• Current HDB Model: Better Integrated
  • More homogeneous public housing ecosystem; less risk of visible class distinctions.

---

6. Government Cost / Fiscal Impact​

• NOM Scheme: High
  • Heavily subsidized — excludes land cost, with added buyback liability.
• Current HDB Model: More Sustainable
  • Land cost recovered partially; better long-term fiscal sustainability.

---

7. Market Disruption Risk​

• NOM Scheme: High
  • Could suppress resale market demand/prices; potentially destabilizes current ecosystem.
• Current HDB Model: Stable
  • Existing demand-supply dynamics are relatively predictable, with moderate government intervention.

Criteria	NOM Scheme	Current HDB Model
Affordability	Very High	Moderate
Resale Profit Potential	None	High
Mobility & Flexibility	Limited	High
Speculation Risk	Very Low	Moderate
Social Stratification	High	Better Integrated
Government Cost	High	More Sustainable
Market Disruption Risk	High	Low
