照理說,80%左右的人口能有住"政府組屋" 的機會,高價 的 private  property 問題應不大..

但是----
政府組屋漲價.買賣 (有些賣了不能再買)所產生的問題遲早會演變成"民怨"

大選快到了......
現在,很多新加坡人的"急躁" 已變成國會殿堂內的MPs 議題了 

且看這一則新聞；(下半頁有全文照錄)

MPs fear Singaporeans priced out by foreigners, private property owners

在找尋"PRICED OUT" 這詞的中文翻譯時.  卻在網絡上看到  很有趣的網站

You are being priced out forever   (http://pricedoutforever.com)

2007 到現在都沒更新,內容不多,

相信是美國房地產"崩盤"之前的"急躁,不安" 的寫照

恰恰好和今日的新加坡社會有"相似"之處....

尤其是看到以下這一頁

What house salesmen want you to believe ?    (http://pricedoutforever.com/learn.html)

3 , 4 年前的美國房地產經紀 和今日的新加坡,台北的經紀一樣的論調.

對照今日的亞洲,時空交錯,      現在是否是崩盤前夕?

MPs fear Singaporeans priced out by foreigners, private property owners

By Leong Wee Keat, Posted: 03 March

SINGAPORE:
They were free to discuss any point raised in the Budget 2010 speech - and on
Tuesday, several parliamentarians chose to reiterate the concerns Singaporeans
have over the affordability of housing board flats.

While Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam in his February 22 speech had
touched on a new tax regime to buffer flat owners, whose flat values are
rising, from a growing property tax bill, MPs broached a more direct fear:
Would residents be priced out of public housing, whether by foreigners or
private property owners?

By admitting too many immigrants too quickly into the country, Mr Inderjit
Singh (Ang Mo Kio GRC) said Singaporeans must now compete for resources, which
drives up the cost of living: "The clearest manifestation of this is the
cost of HDB flats."

Dr Ahmad Magad (Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC) said going by anecdotal evidence, there
were private property owners who owned resale HDB flats, but instead of staying
in them, as the rules require, were renting them out. "While the numbers
may now be quite small, I fear they will swell if no new measures are
introduced."

He is asking the Government to review its policy of allowing the sale of HDB
flats after a year if they are purchased with a bank loan and the rental of HDB
flats after a three-year occupation period.

"Harsh action should be taken against those who rent out their flats
illegally," he added.

MP Sin Boon Ann (Tampines GRC) called for a review of the S$8,000 household
income ceiling for buyers of new flats.

"Not everyone whose combined income exceeds the household limit can afford
private housing, (nor will they) necessarily have the ability to stump out cash
for the cash portion if they bought an HDB flat from the secondary
market," he said.

And with the perception that property prices are rising, many feel owning
"a decent home" is even further out of reach, he said.

Meanwhile, MP Liang Eng Hwa (Holland-Bukit Timah GRC) hoped the Government
would pre-empt another emergence of en bloc fever, which he said could distort
the property market and cause short-term volatility.

"Besides, en bloc sales, if too widespread, can be harmful for the
environment and waste much of our precious resources," he added.
