Puthucheary scoffs at NMP Lien

Maybe but they then build new flats/EC on vacated land and sell them at subsidised prices, I bet.

As I understand it ...

 

Land sales money goes directly into the reserves (is not part of the general budget)

Money for SERS comes from the reserves - it is not a part of the budget.

 

I could be wrong though.

 

Now of course - if I was wanting to "pump money" into the economy, one way that I could do it would be to "speed up" SERS - no money from my budget, throws money back into the economy etc etc

I think the baby crunch problem could be resolved significantly if the State provides free education up to tertiery level.

I don't think it would make any difference -

 

free tertiary education makes no difference in my thinking whatsoever

 

I'm more worried about day to day care when the kid is still a baby -

 

Can I get around?

Who is going to care for baby while I'm at work?

Kindergarten care -

Getting into primary school

Is my house big enough for a third baby - and what about when I have three teenagers? Where are they going to be able to study?

 

 

University is way way down the list

not resolved but one major obstacle removed

That was why the word "significantly" was added
