Ronleech 2nd Gear February 18, 2011 Share February 18, 2011 I think that time was another ministar was in charge. He was appointed as the minister of MND in 1999 and start building HDBflats in bulk and flood the market till 2006 they open the gate to let those FT camp in and then he decided to stop building flat when this island is crowded with foreigner and he chose to opt for BTO.... As BTO needs at least 3 years to complete but the rate that they are giving PR and citizen like old folks selling tissue paper (maybe old folks sold less tissue paper then ICA givng out PR and citizen per day), like that how to balance out leh????

Now I remember, he was Lim HK. Won't say he made a mistake but he just went ahead to build flats for the masses. It was just unfortunate that a financial crisis hit us which was why majority decided not to take up the flats they booked. Hence, wif the surplus units av'ble, they started the WIS scheme which I too benefited fm it. Not his fault though. But the current head of MND is control supply and prices type, dat's why the family MNC like him very much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relacker Clutched February 18, 2011 Share February 18, 2011 (edited) OT a bit, I think our govt is very clever. By keeping costs high, they make sure everyone must work their nuts off to stay alive.... hence no time to create trouble for them. So where is mr Goh's swiss quality of life? 20 yrs later build gambling den and all ah long and gansters come up, tis call swiss chocolate quality of life Edited February 18, 2011 by relacker ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
