Pritam, Indranee spar over HDB development cost breakdown and BTO flat subsidy details
Follow us on KZread: str.sg/ytsub
Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh and Second Minister for Finance and National Development Indranee Rajah on Monday sparred over the development costs of new Housing Board flats and details of subsidies provided to buyers, with the minister saying it was not meaningful to provide such information as affordability is what matters to Singaporeans.

Ok people. Think. In Taiwan or any other democratic country, you buy a piece of land it's yours for keeps. HDB built hundreds of apartments on the same plot of land where we live like chicken coops. So if the land plus whole block cost $1m, it's already well spread out and paid back many times over. Becos hundreds of families are living on top of one another. Secondly, after the 99 year term, you return your flat to govt may have been inspired by Hong Kong after 99years, it gets returned to China concept. DO YOU HAVE A CHOICE to say no, of course not. Every building projects have budgets and actual cost. Why should they show you now when they've kept it secret for years. PAP never undertake anything at a loss. LKY was successful and good at biz before entering politics. True due to his biz savvy policies we became First World. But like everything, the Law of Diminishing returns exists and unfortunately, LHL is no LKY. Hence, this is the point of witnessing everything Spore has been good in in the 70s, 80s falling apart.

I don't think it is about disclosing profit. Secondly, we are talking about government here, the citizens are natural stakeholder in the country, just now how a private firm is held accountable to their investors, so why shouldn't there be a disclosure. I mean at the end of the day if the government can justify the profit and the usage of the gains, then there shouldn't be a problem. It also helps provide more insights in to the raising property prices, especially public housing in sg.
The HDB size shrink faster than Water level rising
Indranee is oblivious " Lost " The question is about "Disclosures" A simple question asked by Pritam to reveal how computations are arrived on how HDB sets out pricing on Subsidies in accordance with HDB units prices with consideration to Land Prices. Does Indranee need to consult the Auditor General on this ? The question is not about affordability - affordability is about a criteria which HDB sets out so mortgage debt can be serviced during & after purchase. 80 % of Singaporean's live in Public Housing (HDB Flats ) What did Indranee say ? She needs to formulate an answer ? Roof over your head is a fundamental need ! Disclosure on Public Housing Pricing & and the means it's priced categorically is of Public interest. What's going on ?

This is why we need Opposition. Shame on those leaders who discredit them by saying they do not do anything.
Sorry. Cost breakdown is key. Hdb is not making a profit so we must make sure there are no Najibs siphoning off funds along the way. We are mature enough to understand the hdb needs to price the flats differently or at a certain fraction compared to private properties. Heck, we can also accept we don't own the flats in the common layman definition of the term.

plenty of people say no need check and balance - the lack of a clear explanation from the minister to justify not disclosing the cost breakdown for public housing speaks for itself - to them, such information disclosure is not meaningful (seriously?) and flat buyers are expected to take the price set/fixed by HDB without question, even if it means the flat is overpriced. Come on, is the minister sure she wants to give that explanation to our next generation?
Even a PSLE student knows it’s a simple question can be answered..HDB pricing is getting more more ridiculous

Mr. Singh is not doing his homework; he just wants to know the dollar value of the flats so that they will be able to publish the amount of Singapore's reserves.

Means you don't have the answer, Indranee. View this as a display of incompetence and/or naughtiness. This kinda standard selected for CEC is the reason why PAP does not have my respect. Seems they reward based on loyalty not suitability. I can agree with some names but when Josephine Teo, Idranee, Edwin Tong are selected for CEC it really is poor decision making imo.
Should explore ways to build more BTOs asap to balance the supply and demand, when supply is high enough the prices will naturally become affordable.

Amazing when ruling party minister cannot answer question posed by opposition MP is embarassing & shame to draw million $$ from citizen & later get pension. Poor in the west gets pension & not elites. Days of Ford cars painted in black are over. HDB is built as an alternative housing to low & middle class citizens. It is not money spinning but help these class of citizen. It is not for the govt to quote whatever price & citizens had to bear for it. Obviously, we got the right to have the breakdown of the cost of a HDB flat. To us, 600K for public housing is extremely expensive especially it does not belonged to us or passed down to the next generation as we buy HDB with lease of 99 yrs. 100K to us is not easy to save as it means a life time saving. Quite obvious when elite speaks of 600K to them it means probably 6 cents. Looking at it, there is no answer to Pritam's question. Eye opening to decide carefully in the next GE.

LHL mentioned in his PAP address to the party that the opposition has gone AWOL with regards to thorny issues. This is worse cos when a formal, very valid question is put to the relevant minister about hdb costs, he receives a reply that “it does not matter”. And what matters is “whether Singaporeans can afford a flat” I think it is important to know what goes into the “costs” of our flats, and whether it has been inflated improperly.

Willing to convert? Lmao why would they convert when they have the best of both worlds by just being PR? This is something the GOV never ever look upon
Actually it's very true, so consumer can have a more informed choice in buying. to compare and see if it's worth it
No it's not just about affordability. People do want to know the costs before they make an investment that is more than their net worth at the time when they usually consider buying a flat (ie 20~30 years old). Why is it so hard to just release the prices so that people have a clearer idea about what they are about to purchase? When you go to the supermarket and buy groceries, do you not look out for what item has the best value for money? Just because we can afford to buy something there doesn't mean we buy whatever that is within our budget. And if people already want to compare prices for items that are worth $5, what makes you think we wouldn't wanna compare prices for things worth $500, 000++

the problem here is if they know that you can easily afford th pay then their prices auto shot up, its already happening everywhere now.
Properties prices are what most Singaporeans are concerned in comparison with 377A. For PM to bark that WP went AWOL at the latter is laughable.
Why she keep asking him to file separate questions?
Talk so much flats are still unaffordable and it matters to us and we want to know the breakdown of the flats in each project and we want to know the cause of high prices!!!! Like you buy food we know cost price like oil etc goes up but pretty sure prices like material etc are uniform across all estates
One by one starting to reveal and expose themselves as incompetents !!

Prices up 40% in 2 years, rental up 60% in 3 years (from 1.7k to 2.7 k ! for 2 bedroom) ! why no controls in place ?!! So employees suppose to job hopping all the time ?!!
Regardless who is the governing party, PAP or others, the people voted the government in to be honest and transparent. Therefore a breakdown of the cost of the most basic asset (ie. HDB Flats) of what the people are buying should be shown clearly and made known to the public. Furthermore all the country assets be it HDB, LTA or even GIC and the those Temasek and GLC, shall be accounted by a 3rd party reputable accounting firm and made known to the public. Nothing is negotiable on transparency. This audit exercise should not be done by internal related body like the Auditor General. Does not matter who is the running the government, this part is non negotiable to the public Miss Indranee. Let the people who votes in the government be the judge whether they want to know the details of this information.

All those who are asking actually not working yet or never buy property before lah. They want to stir and make up amusements and gossip. And Pritam is going through motion to appease and pander to the worst of his supporters. You think Pritam wants his family's HDB flats to crash in value or his own private property to dump?
Anyone who needs to wait for about 5 years for BTO is ridiculous. The waiting time should be reduced to less than 2 years.

Customer : Why my just a simple trim less than the usual full haircut, without coloring, wash and massage this month cost 50% more than last month? Hairstylist : Er, can you come back another day ask another stylist the question? I don't want to give you the wrong haircut just in case you don't fall asleep during the cut. ✂️😳🤥😱😜👏
The ONLY validated solution for FORWARD SINGAPORE 🇸🇬 is to vote PAP out of Government. PAP is no longer beneficial for Singaporean Moving forward. We don't need changes but TRANSPARENCY is key #PAPHASFAILEDUS #VOTEPAPOUT #GE2025
Price is one issue.. Size is another!

“Should we give the total development cost? We don’t think anything would be achieved by doing so. The reason is this - what is the real important thing to Singaporeans? The real important thing is, are you able to afford a flat?” said Ms Indranee, who is also Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office. 😡🤬*!!!!* *He knows he won't get it but also showing the people of Singapore how a reasonable request is said to be useless by the ruling party!!!*
Need to refer to accounting body for info loll LHL said in 2020 parliament that the Ministers need to know their stuff and come prepared to speak in Parliament..
The ironic thing is that now the PAP will NEVER release the HDB development cost breakdown...
2:57, Indranee, people should be given the rights of been fully informed , rather than fully blocked from accessing these figures/numbers. As people will have to make an informed decision regarding how much subsidy is enough , and people had enough being lectured again and again. We have to exercise our brain to prevent dementia . 😂
Look what we voted for. Minister who can’t even share the cost for building our home. They build a home and come out with a random price. I feel robbed. If HDB is to ensure every citizen has a home it should also be affordable.
