After watching, i think the problem the couple faced is more due to bad planning and the insistence of getting a flat in good matured locations. It has nothing much to do with competition from Singles as they are restricted to 2rm n non-matured. There are also priority given to family, so it is also a matter of luck. From the gov, the majority of families can get their BTO if they are not picky on the locations.

[@shanelim19]

10:18 Very entitled couple. Singles can only apply at 35 and restricted to 2 room BTO in a non-mature estate, paying extra $15,000, no stay near parents grant. And you think your 6 applications are a big deal? Ratio for singles to 1 unit is 15.6:1, compared to couples is 1.5:1. Couples are given more priority with a lot more supply, singles applied 9-11 times that took up 4 years just for applications and 5 years to build, move in at age 44. You have no restrictions but yet you choose to be picky in terms of location, instead of a house for kids. Don’t make yourself even more privileged by denying others, singles pay taxes too.

[@bangkoknow1855]

The couple is just picky, just like anyone. Doesn't singles deserve a space (or home ) to call their own too? Ridiculous to think that Singles are like second class citizens. The whole point of "taking care" of married couples only just show how myopic the govt is. Pushing people to the brink of high real estate rental cost, especially for singles (not just couple or foreigners) will then make them unable to afford better healthcare for themselves especially with single income. To increase population with such policy is basically playing with fire. Exactly like one of the ministers comment "you need a very small space to have sex". Instead of trying to solve problems and understand the situation, they are sitting on their high horses and are totally either oblivious or have no solution. So why are they still making our poliicies?

[@russiasucks7170]

You can type this because you have a very one dimensional view of policy making. in short, you are a simpleton. For instance, increasing the population can increase the economic output and collect more rents .at the same time, increasing the population can also cause housing competition problem , just like you mentioned. Either ways , is that a policy will have good and bad consequences and the policy maker will have to balance between the two. You can question the policymakers efficacy all you want , but at the end of the day , what is your remedy?Sitting here and critising and yet offering no solution is like a keyboard rat warrior. Yes , you are one of them

[@livethiswayTV]

Only agree with your first sentence. The other points, you just sound like a taxi uncle, complaining for the sake of complaining, with reasons that doesn't hold water. If giving priority to married couples doesn't increase the chance of newborns, giving priority to singles will?? And with your own logic, if couples aren't given priority and must go for more expensive options, wouldn't they also have less for healthcare? You know how much money is needed for the children's healthcare? You want the bonus? Get married. It's a bonus, not an entitlement. Your entitlement is to go for resale or private.

Our gov sector n civil servants are abundant and one of most well paid in the world, cannot plan n build enough for the citizens but purposefully plan to create such bto scarcity situation for decades. Always in shortage? Cannot plan to let supply meet demands? Have all the age population marriage and demographic data n immigrants data all at finger tips.

actually property for staying ones, in SG, is worthless, merely hold it for a while after 25years value drops, Govt take back and build again. Singles with money maybe can just buy private, if not most of them are already lucky with parents having their own house, they can continue living in them.

[@deeppurplelim9914]

Well. Above 35, u have a 7k cap. Can we have a survey... for couples that have gotten bto, at 35, are they still making less than 7k ceiling? 1. Singles over 35 making above 7k, is not able to bto. 2. Even if they can bto, they r only restricted to 2 room. 3. In other words, they are forced into resale market, which bto buyers have bot and are selling to make a capital gain, which is then, passed on to resale flat buyer. Really, it seems really unfair. It seems like single, above 35, making more than 7k, is forced to buy a 3room resale flat...which can range from 350k to 650k, one person shouldering this amount (depends how old the flats are). This 7k ceiling should be removed. And not just 35. Imagine u r 40, trying to buy a hdb, chances of u making less than 7k? And the hdb loan are only eligible to below 7k salary too. And all the subsidies...e.g. living near ur parents...also does not apply. I'm proud to be a Singaporean but when it comes to this, I feel less of a citizen. Its like I am forced to pay for the premium in resale flat, for bto folks (that have benefited from the gain). Choose to be single -> u mean u would rather couples just settle down for the sake of it for the house and divorce later? I think fairness of the policy needs to be review.

I don't know who you are I don't know where you are But I want you to know that you are God damn right~ Thank you for voicing out here, I really agreed to what you said as I am in such plight right now. 2 more years to 35, for single ,there's additional $15k impose,yes due to sole ownership but hello...it's only 2rm BTO...ok anyway, then my future spouse is a foreigner but we don't plan to have kid(s) first (because of money$) then PR is not immediate even application. Ok, putting these aside. Then~ let's say applying at 35 and took them to complete building ,ideally maybe 4 years,by then I'm 39 then reno cost is another new price tag,ok reno loan fine. But this 4 years,maybe we want to have kid...then I would it's still manageable because its still baby AND not forgetting kid(s) grow up fast...then adding 5 years MOP...wow...9 years then can sell but almost no way to profit or even buy a resale or back to a 4rm BTO since our kid is SC by then...so another 4,5 years to build ideally after applying. Then my kid would be 5,6years old and reno cost is a new higher level, by then I'm already close to 50 years old...then it didn't solve aging issue and baby matters...a non mature 2rm at kovan is $200k onwards when it's launched, so what's the price tag of a 2rm bto for me in next 2 years? (Not forgetting there's standard/plus/prime to consider) how much to really get chance of a 2rm bto? And how to really convince that everyone get a house of their own as what they said over the parliament ? Then giving couple with a newborn baby 5rm bto just simply because they can afford . Then there's really no point for public to apply and ballot, simply to say priorty goes to high nett PCI and family nucleus profile applicants then comes to the old and/or singles...seriously?

Singles buying resale HDB at prices above BTO price rubs salt in the wound. You buy the resale BTO that other people don’t want; they use their BTO to earn quick bucks from your hard earning savings and upgrade. Singles clearly are discriminated.

The whole system is unfair and discriminatory to singles. Basically, singles are forced to the resale markets to make the married couples rich from selling their BTOs.

Discrimination agaist single, The HDB policy can be perceived as a form of age and marital status discrimination. By restricting younger singles' access to affordable housing, it inadvertently creates a societal divide based on marital status and age. This could be viewed as an infringement on individual rights, where housing, a basic need, is tied to personal life choices.

[@cuteart4470]

I can understand from govt point of view to let couple buy BTO (for family planning) compare to single getting smaller BTO. But now the times has change, more couples do not want to have kids and sell their BTO flat to earn more money to upgrade to Condo. If couples not planning to have kids they also do not need a 4 rooms or 5 rooms bto which they can sell as a super profit later. So i think govt plan should change. everyone will pay the market rate for bto and once the couple have a kid the govt will refund the subsidy rate to offside their housing loan. For single, i think min they can allow to buy 3 room bto, so if they happen to find a partner, they can already stay in the house and dont need to sell their smaller 2 room or wait another 5 yr to get a better house

[@nickng-jm1vk]

One of the main reason for married couple to get a BTO so that they can quickly settled down and start making babies. However, a lot of couples nowadays are not planning to have baby, they are just waiting for MOP and sold the flat for a 100% profit. To achieve the target of more babies, we should impose a baby tax, those selling flat after MOP and without any baby should impose a 20% tax on profit, alternatively, a baby tax can be included in purchase price for married couple, within 3 years if they have baby, the tax will be refunded. There should be measures to ensure couple getting BTO are those that really want to start a family, otherwise they should be seen as just two single staying together and therefore should be treated the same as single since they do not contribute to more babies like the single. of course, exemption should be given for those who are not able to conceive due to medical reason.

Given that Singapore doesn't allow same sex marriage, so it's BS to say it's about family, because same sex can adopt kids. Everyone is a taxpayer, therefore, they should be all be treated equally.

The only way the current setup is morally right is if and only if married couples are forced to pay higher income tax rate, and homosexual have lower income tax rates. no service = no taxation.

Tell you how to overcome this problem. If there is law that prevent you to own homes, not the private developer own and self build. Gather a club of single buyers to total up on 2 condo buildings of 1 acre. Register a developer company to build a project just say 1 acre land & 2 high rise building. 20x35 floors and 1 floor penthouse and roof (public rest area with cafeteria). Build by your appointed contractors, gather the money to pay and get loan. Solved. Not government build housing and quota limit to singles. You can own a unit by sharing the entire private project. 3 rooms 4 rooms you like. Its your combined project.

If 50% of sinkies wants to remain single for whole life, government has to build another 50% additional house,maybe minus some who will go for pte home. Too many new citizens fighting for your bto. Deal with it.

多盖一点一室一厅一厨一卫的组屋是不是会好点

[@ssg-mc6gt]

政府已注意到这一点，新建组屋中都会有几套这样的小型房，即可让人购买也可用于租赁，而且遍布全岛，方便相关人士，不再象以前一样在一个地点建整栋这样房型的组屋，

你的 BTO 的数量做够来，不是没有这种争端咯～ Hai Ya

在古代，一个普通人赚20两银子才能满足生活，不会挨饿。朝廷专门设置一个部门去研究，如何让百姓只赚18两，这样百姓才会更努力，国家才更稳定。

[@ryanjill1479]

Despite the many hurdles faced by singles in life and high living cost in sg, not only the current govt have no sympathy but even penalised them by setting an age barrier on the bto . Perhaps it is easier to change the current ruling party than to get marry....so singles can seriously considered this alternative . 😂

[@ghostbusters4627]

BTO本來就應該優先留給首次已婚家庭這非常合理。政府的限制必定有一定的原因。

[@juneamanda2944]

原本就有让已婚的夫妇有优先权。

[@ghostbusters4627]

@@juneamanda2944 所以不用改、現在政策就ok

[@Slla-th5vt]

我觉得应该限制每对夫妻只能买一次BTO。不然就只是在给结婚夫妻开后门赚钱，而不是单纯的解决房屋问题。

[@ghostbusters4627]

@@Slla-th5vt 如果5年后就售出赚钱、要再申请新的bto 就只有少过2%的机会、所以不用担心、他们不可能花$在不到2%成功率的bidding.

[@Slla-th5vt]

@@ghostbusters4627 第一次2%，再接下来呢？时间过的越久，机会不就也加大了。总之BTO就应该只有一次。赞助他们买房一次就好，干嘛还要赞助第二次？买过BTO还想买房，就应该靠自己了。政府赞助他们无本白赚的两次机会，还要问为什么单身人士能够BTO。单身人士交的税还更多，又不像结婚夫妻，一堆福利回扣还唧唧歪歪不休。

Singapore's policy of giving everyone a roof over the head is falling apart right before your eyes. The policy is good-intentioned but not sustainable.

why compare BTO single and married? compare private = 0%. pap cant abuse.

of course the policy should maintain. Couple have to try more than 6 timesto get a flat that requires 5 year contruction, It involved Family planning with two adults and future children, For singles there are more options , as a single they can continue to stay with parent as they were is one of them or rent a room outside Singles want to have own space and not expensive is a want , Couples have own space to start family is a need. .
