If you care to believe it, this blog tries to make a difference in the world by dedicating itself to the Democracy, Discussion, Freedom, and Furtherment of Comedy.

The author (mainly? sometimes??) talks about Singapore, but is into all things comedy and comical. And once even seriously entertained the notion of going into stand-up comedy full-time.

selected comments only, - but at least they are quoted in full ok (so dont worry - the old man will still look be made to look like the old good guy (and we wont question his age - nor that of his father's))

Actually when he meant Singaporean. He meant dual income married coupled Singaporeans. They get the highest subsidies and also the best choice in selection of flats.

The government does not think singles, and other non-married individuals are true Singaporeans. Thus, they have discriminatory polices against them. This is is even though we have a surplus in flats.

Anyone who believe in such words like every singaporean matters got to get their heads out of their a$$.

buying flat has always been a burden

If you buy a 3 room falt in a very ulu place + you pay 30yrs loan, most can afford that. Of course, whether its worth paying so much for a 3 room flat is another question.

All types? Never check the website rite? You can only buy three to four room. Otherwise, you would have to live with other singles to buy bigger flats.

AND

You can only buy from the resale market. So if you want Duxton plain or some high-class flat. Wait very long.
