He was reported by the Shit Times to have said: “It is FAIR and REASONABLE to do this readjustment since there are enough flats for all first-timers…. So, let us recalibrate and LET THOSE WHO ARE MARRIED AND HAVE CHILDREN go AHEAD of those who are applying under the FIANCE SCHEME … Once we have cleared the backlog of those married with kids, then we can go to the next group – which is, MARRIED BUT KIDS COMING.”
FAIR? …
So we hear from the horse’s mouth that the backlog of new HDB applicants runs all the way back SIXTEEN years. This is confirmed by the new measure relating to flat prioritizing for couples with children below 16 years old for which the minister referred to as “backlog”.
How is this fair and reasonable for those planning to get married now and hoping to start a family but who have to keep their plans on ice until they have their own flats? Shouldn’t they get the priority? Wouldn’t this be a more reasonable approach given the situation we are already in?
