He said on Facebook that there is no means testing for grants given for the purchase of resale HDB flats.
Mr Leong Sze Hian's statement on housing grants for eligible first-time home buyers of resale flats is false and misleading, said the Ministry of National Development.
He said: “Why are we giving more help to arguably, richer people, to buy more expensive resale flats, relative to poorer people who may only be able to afford BTO flats?” This means Mr Leong will be required to insert a notice against his original post, with a link to the Government’s clarification. “This will ensure that those in need will receive more help. With the recent enhancements, first-timer families can receive up to $120,000,” the ministry said.
