    Default More GLS are allowed yet.....

    I find it rather puzzle with the garment position on Property market,

    On one hand, the garment launch out more GLS siting reasons "no worry, countryman, there are plenty of lands available for you...."

    Yet, when developers launched out projects after successfully bidding the GLS thus registering more unit sales month after month...our dear garment say..." hey we have to becareful as the property are getting too hot, don't take my warning, nvm, take this cooling measures then you know how serious I'm"

    I find it rather funny is that don't the garment know with each land sales, sales numbers in units sales will definitely went up, right?

    Don't tell me garment expect developers to bid and keep the land for koi pond / fly kites purpose it's....

    I can accept that. But why punish buyers and not developers?

    Great, I agreed with you on this too.

    Again, why not punish developer's greed but buyer's greed?

    Cause they are rich, capitalist system take care of the rich. Some developer have strong investors... Get it? At least the system is stable when things go up and up, just make sure it is not too sudden and too fast. If it's down and down, developers and 100% of poor also not happy as they will also be affected. The happy ones are happy for a while until the next cheaper unit comes along. So that obviously won't work. If it's up... Many many people are happy, a small group is not and u can give them public housing. After that, they will commit suicide by taking mouse bait.

    Isn't this similar strategy as COE and ERP, contradicting but benefit the government. Government always pro business and rich/wealthy people. After election, and PAP is likely to lose some votes, may change their housing strategies.
