Tigerwoods Turbocharged January 24, 2011 Share January 24, 2011 It is true that if you have opposition, any ruling political party has to make sure they be disintegrated, dissolved and dead. The sacred key to a Political party continued success lies in the manipulation of the policies that won't push the citizens to the point of rioting or a civil war but leaves them with a small glimmer of hope for better things to come. Those that failed are Marcos, Tunisia President, etc etc... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christan Turbocharged January 24, 2011 Share January 24, 2011 When LKY rules (until 1990), probably yes... But now... I doubt. Must ask Mr Horse Since he is also known as Marlboro Tan, can call him Cigarette Smoking Tan (borrow from X-files) except name is too long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itsec 2nd Gear January 24, 2011 Share January 24, 2011 In theory, we rent, we don't buy HDB. you only realised profit if you & spouse both die...... or sell your HDB flat & stay in private, w/ parents, w/ kids or in tentage. u mean 99 yrs lease??

Ncss Clutched January 24, 2011 Share January 24, 2011 (edited) okie.. .. all the while.. i have doubt about our flat valuations.... allow me to pour it out.. correct me if i'm off track... my ex-colleague bought a flat more than 600k, taking 30 yrs loan, with 500k of loan... excluding the interest!!! I believe at the end of the repayment period..... his CPF OA shall be very min. - assuming he stay on his job.. not many promotions... not job-hopping... Is that our dear 'horse' promoting AFFORDABLE housing!!!! My thoughts -> Are we are the slaves to our property... 30 yrs later.. we are left with no $$$..gov earn us via their so-called valuations and compound interest and we had to sell our flat back to them or pass down to our kids... Its as good as i'm the tenant of this plot of land.. raised the price... and u lend $$$ from me.. with interest... then 30 yrs later.. u sell the house back to me.. and i pay u monthly bit by bit till u die!!! In short, the $$$ is always in my pocket... now back to the current situations... the resale of my unit had increase more than 150%.. Hence, simply value the unit with approx 150% profit.. meaning our gov is filthy filthy rich.. and inflation does not increased by 150% more... same goes to our salary... :angry: correct my analogy if i'm wrong... 600k... so exp? It must be re-sale flat or DBSS la... Mr Horse is promoting Singaporean to buy BTO . Re-sale or DBSS flat is for those richer ppl with extra $ to buy convinent places... Unless your colleague is PR, then Bo Bian la... convert lor. Edited January 24, 2011 by Ncss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonTan 2nd Gear January 24, 2011 Share January 24, 2011 Will LHL come out with books when he upgraded to MM status? How come Tony, Dana, Prataman, Goh, etc never come out with their side of the story and books? Singapore and the rest of the world seems only to be interested or obsessed with LKY and no one else. What will happen with there is no more LKY to go around the world to give speeches and talk about Singapore. Will LHL take over or Goh will take over, as spokeman for Singapore? I dont see them exerting their authorities in world stage at this moment yet. Seems like a void might be there in the near future, when the pail is kicked. Look at Apple when Jobs' take a rest......all the bad news speculating Apple's future plans and its future success are in doubts! I pray for longevity for my beloved MM Lee. I feel very secure when he is around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itsec 2nd Gear January 24, 2011 Share January 24, 2011 Wa lao err... EC . He should not complain if he cheong this kind of houses... hmm.. my point is...since when EC is so ex... or flats are so exp... my humble JW flat had increased from sub 200k to 430k... and its increasing.. as more amenities coming up... previously, my area's EC selling @220-250k nia... let say u grab 1... in which my colleague got 1 @dawson place... think about 500k... i dont see there's much different between 500k/600k... and probably u have 100k more as compare to the other grabbing the EC... u survive with 100k more... probably last till max 70 yrs old.. no $$$, and u are only 1/2 death....cannot rely on kids.. as they are struggling like hell... so sell ur flat back to hdb...

Sgnick 1st Gear January 24, 2011 Author Share January 24, 2011 Don't think LHL or GOh will want to be MM next time lah. Current MM can't let go of his baby that y he wanna be MM. But better to be MM, than to retire then still cant let go and every now and then take potshots at own govt or other govt, like our friendly neighbor ex-PM.
