yip • 1 hour 5 minutes agoReport Abuse excuse me . PR and Singaporean are paying the same % of CPF contribution. Work here als o spending here . No different ....their hard earn money too. What's wrong if they take their own hard earn money when leaving. Dont tell me you not going to take your money if you want to leave Singapore ??? What is the different when Singaporean forgo their citizenship , sell the hse and take the money to migrate to elsewhere .... Not the same ?? PR are not taking someone else money but their own saving money OK !!..... AyeChan • 3 hours agoReport Abuse Goddamnit!!! PRs can only buy a resale flat with some restrictions... which means it's not your Gov who's giving HDB to PRs... it's you guys making profit out of homeless people who are contributing to your society. FYI, I'm living in a rented place (3NG) which cost me SGD2000 a month, $24K a yr and I paid almost $200K over 9yrs, in Cash (non-CPF). Do I own an HDB!? Hell, NO... I'm not even eligible. So what was your complaint again!? Yah • 15 hours agoReport Abuse Singapore belongs to everyone. Do not be selfish. Sinkies Pls do not behave like Racial Supremist denying other groups of a fair return that they duly deserved. Ask yourself, what if you are a PR instead of being a Sinkie? Would you want to be able to sell your HDB flat and take the earnings, retrieve your CPF entirely and go back to your home country? Would you, or won't you want to be able to? Stop being a hypocrite and start living like a real human being. Have a heart on those PRs and Foreigners, you Sinkies !!! Tan • 14 hours agoReport Abuse Writer Jeff Cuellar and Yahoo Singapore, stop all this propaganda of trying to create uneasiness and unfairness to Singaporeans. Your article will create more discrimination and society bias among Singaporeans. You are trying to create social disharmony by writing an article directing at PRs. It may seem PRs tend to enjoy certain benefits more than Singaporeans. But the truth is, you report the surface information only. Your article didn't mentioned the details such as PR pay much higher interest rates to buy HDB compared to Singaporeans; and the fact that they can only buy resale units means at the end of 30 year loan, PR pays hundreds of thousands of dollars more than what a Singaporean pay just to own a flat. If you did your homework well, you will realize how much sky rocket price PRs need to pay just to purchase a HDB flat. However, one thing I am very sure about the author of this article. The author is targeting PRs and cultivating a sense of injustice among Singaporeans. And if you ever realize, just by writing such a report, there may be more Singaporeans targeting PRs for every small unhappiness they have. But to the PRs, it is hundreds of thousands of lives you are affecting which includes their families too. Spare a thought to others when you write such an article because your article can lead to devastating consequences. If the end who emerge as victors? The answer is NO ONE.
