Concern over public housing cost and land occupied by new construction
SINGAPORE: The new HDB project at Sin Ming has created a stir. While many are talking about the cost of public housing in Singapore, a handful have taken the “good location” as a sign that the prices will be higher.
An HDB project of over 900 flats has been launched at Sin Ming in the Upper Thompson area. It will be the first HDB project at Sin Ming in over 30 years. “Good location. Price should be higher,” said a netizen. Others made comments sarcastically, describing the HDB flats as “affordable.”“One million onwards. Affordable,” said a third.
Another netizen included monetary figures, saying, “BTO 4 room 525k-650k…resale 4 room 600k-750k…this is so called affordable.” However, a few commented on the space that residential buildings are occupying. “Still not enough for 10 million population,” wrote one. “Need to clear more more empty forest area in Singapore to build HDB flats.”The post garnered many more comments from concerned Singaporeans.Image: FB screengrab / The Straits TimesImage: FB screengrab / The Straits TimesImage: FB screengrab / The Straits TimesImage: FB screengrab / The Straits TimesSend in your scoops to news@theindependent.
