DC up -> Redevelopment cost up -> Sales price up

What cooling measures?

Typical tactic. Left hand saying oh we help you afford your home by cooling measures. Right hand saying well we introduce higher DC so that right hand can collect more $$$ to give left hand to build better (read more expensive) BTO or DBSS etc homes for your first home...

In the end the winner is still the owner of the left and right hands - they collect more revenue as a result.

Otherwise, how to give an average of angbao $3000 to middle income household.

"SM Lee and the eye-opening trauma in London. Monday, November 3, 2003 by Val Chua

EMOTIONS ran high on a balmy Sunday night as the normally stoic Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew nearly broke down while recounting the ordeal his wife went through in London recently. The troubles that the couple faced - including joining a queue in a free hospital - when Mrs Lee was hit by stroke two Sundays ago, revealed how differently two systems worked. "I cannot tell you how restless and unhappy we felt," he said at a community event in Jalan Bukit Merah yesterday. "We run a (healthcare) system where you have to co-pay ... but you get the attention. There, no attention, just join the queue,"

....... When Mrs Lee reached The Royal London Hospital at 12.30am, it happened to have three cardiac arrest patients. Mr Lee was told his wife's brain problem was "not as important" as the cardiac arrest cases, he recounted solemnly. She would have had to wait till 8am the next morning for her CT brain scan if 10 Downing Street had not intervened to get her early attention. High Commissioner Michael Teo had sought help from 10 Downing Street at 2am on Sunday and she received treatment at 3.30am on the night itself. "Once upon a time, it was a wonderful hospital. But after 40 plus years ... the system cannot deliver. There's no connection between those in the system and the patients," he said. But it's the way free healthcare systems work, he added, noting that Singapore must not go down that path, even though there are calls for free C class wards in public hospitals here. ...."

I knew someone is going to say that. Dr there treats everyone according to the level of emergency and there are so many other patient as well. The service "expectation" at MM's level is different from ordinary folks.

In SG, they will be treated honourably.

Why he never visited a private hospital in UK?

I shall not elaborate more.

Does the rate increase affects property prices?

[land118]
