Icedbs Turbocharged August 26, 2012 Share August 26, 2012 (edited) I like the idea of giving priority to couples who have kids to purchase HDB flats. It does make sense...those who have kids need the flat more. Some couples may not like that, but for quickly getting a flat, I think they will do it. Also for those who are singles, seems like he is hinting that they too could buy new HDB soon instead of just the resale market. Good news for singles and at the same time, moderate down resale prices. Edited August 26, 2012 by Icedbs 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I support this initiative of couple with kids. It's a real need and HDB has the power to do it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is free. Something need to be pay for another thing. I kind of like this year's Rally. More real, more down to earth. I sense the garment is waking up to listen to the people's woes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_blade Turbocharged August 26, 2012 Share August 26, 2012 (edited) I too, like some of the points touched. Apart from those mentioned in earlier post. I also like the part about being more big hearted to not just foreigners but also towards fellow Singaporeans eg. among neighbours, etc. Edited August 26, 2012 by Silver_blade 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturtles 6th Gear August 26, 2012 Share August 26, 2012 Priority for hdb for couples with kids and paternity leave, both could be helpful.. Don't understand how useful is medisave for kids, coz it;s our own pocket money after all.. There are a percentage of babies born with complications, or are impaired with complications soon after delivery. The medical costs can hit up to hundreds of thousands. As private insurers will never insure newborns with condition, it is non-claimable. New policies seem to include measures brought up to encompass such sad cases with medisave medishield, and this will help prevent moral families from plunging into financial dispair Give credit when it's due. The post election government has done well this time, much better in fact. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celicar Turbocharged August 26, 2012 Share August 26, 2012 I've always like watching the N Day rallies, this year no different. I like the PM, on/off bitching aside. But yeah, implementation is the key. Like Punggol development, talk talk talk for years then do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civic2000 Supercharged August 26, 2012 Share August 26, 2012 I like PM for very brave to correct people wrong mindset and attitudes in 1 part of his speech. & I also like PM quote " nothing comes from heaven" His father famous quote is "Nothing is free in this World". Both quotes carry the same meaning. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
