    Beats me. But I don't know why the government is restricting the supply of bangla workers when no SC will work as construction workers and toilet cleaners.

    You target 6.9 million people, but who is going to build the housing for the extra 2 million people?

    On the other hand, I see S passes and EP still easily issued for PMET positions.

    Anyway, the higher the inflation, the more CM will be imposed on properties.

    one reason would be to force developers to improve construction productivity, since that's the official tune of the day.

    i suspect another possible reason is to purposefully delay the housing units coming into the market - to smoothen out the looming spike in 2013/14, forcefully crank up salaries in the sector, etc

    2 euros can only get you a super stinky toilet most of the time. I usually have to pay 5 euros for those nicer and cleaner ones. During my time, 5 euros is about $12 singapore dollars.

    It is even worse in Zurich. S$15 per visit to toilet. And Singaporeans complain about high cost of living. Hahaha.

    And their salary isn't fantastic. It looks high on paper but in reality, the nett salary is pathetic.

    I was working as junior engineer then. About Singapore $12,000 of which $6,500 goes to taxes. Left $5,500.

    Just to illustrate, a McFlurry magnam there cost about S$10. A mc meal is about S$35 to $40. So you can think how much their stuff cost there. The scenery is fantastic, air is clean, lesser people, efficient transport but really hard to survive. My colleagues told me they have to cook at home because it is impossible to eat out most of the time. I come back after 1.5 years there and I feel richer even though my salary was just 4k.

    I know a china engineer who said his friends went to Japan work as toilet cleaner can earn more than him.

    I told him the cost of transport and food in Japan is high, but he said his friends ride bicycle to work, eat instant noodles for lunch and dinner, can save more money than him.

    garmen imposing CMs is to moderate property price increase so that it is on par or lower than with salary increase .. no issue if D'Nest selling for 1000psf for their 7xxsqft 2br

    normally it is FEO who spoils the game by setting high prices in OCR and invites the next CM ... their SOHO also artificially boost the avg psf in a project

    You can literally spell the shit and pee near the subway. Especially in France, Italy and Greece. Who in the right mind will pay a few euros just to go toilet.

    Anyway, my point on the salary is that on paper, you have high salary. So don't be fooled.

    If you hear him at the Standard Chartered seminar, you will notice how matter of factly he put in.

    The 6.9 million is a done deal. With foreign labor restraint, it will only mean that the timing of immigrants (LKY says these are high end immigrants - we are selective!), will skew towards a people-come-in-first-then build-more-condos situation!

    Sit tight!

    Those still at the Jetty --> there is still a very good chance if you take this next boat! When the 5% inflation stays for a few years, it will become a given and people will start getting used to it. And that will include property price increases.

    yeah, they interview the Urban Vista buyer who has multiple properties, to him/her, ABSD is less of a peanut

    our China friends already arrange for divorce to avoid paying capital gain tax, what is ABSD 7%

    Correction : 15% ABSD.

    Not many people can understand the foreigners buying mentality.
    If you use your local thinking, of course DIE DIE wont pay the 15% ABSD la!

    But if you are a foreigner, either from a country whereby your daughter has a good chance of getting raped in a bus, or a country whereby buying additional property is TOTALLY banned, then 15% tax is really peanuts. Also considering that the additional tax brings the government to your side of the investment. ie, if property prices drop, government stop land sales, remove CMs.
