The National Development minister urged buyers not to be too choosy when offered a new flat.
"Be realistic about the chances of getting a flat. If you need a new flat, please take up the new flat even if it's not something you like, even if it's not ideal for you. Take it up and then gradually over time, you may upgrade to the flat that you like," said Mr Mah.
LOL... my 1st response is also OMG!! Do you think we earn $10k per month? Everything is raising except our salary, so upgrading is not a good option at all! My question back to Mr. Mah is that, will you buy something you don't like? Something you will need to pay for easily 20 - 30 years for. Don't ask people to do what you won't want to do.
Our government wanted all Singaporeans to be able to think out of the box, be creative and clever in the international market. Yet, our minister here is telling us - This is the way to "invest".
But even i want to buy something "bad" or "unsuitable" , i can't!
My BTO Q number is most of the time above 1000+. So i won't even want to go q at HDB, as why q when you are only left with little or no choice? One fine day, my friend bid for the same area as me, and she got Q 200+ for her 1st try. I am wondering, am i blacklisted or what? I am not in any form of debts....damn.
