This will give singles more choices to find their own home a and write their own part in Singapore’s housing story.
The Singapore story has been an unlikely one from the start. It has been an exceptional story; but I believe the best parts are still to be written.
Let us hold fast to our values, mutual trust and dreams and come together with a renewed spirit and vigour, a semangat yang baru, to build a better, brighter Singapore for generations to come! Majulah Singapura!
PM Lee: Integrity and incorruptibility are fundamental to Singapore. They are the foundation on which we run a clean government and deliver results for Singaporeans. No matter the price; no matter the embarrassment or political cost – I will do my utmost to keep the system clean. Every generation of PAP leaders must stand by this.
Читать полностью…Prime Location Public Housing Model or “Prime” projects for short, are in the choicest & most central locations. These flats are very desirable & will be more expensive. They will have the most subsidies & tightest restrictions.
Читать полностью…PM Lee: In future, most HDB projects will be “Standard” projects with the current familiar and standard BTO rules such as the 5-year MOP, and no income ceiling for resale buyers.
Читать полностью…Our housing landscape is evolving. There are fewer and fewer large tracts of undeveloped land left to build new towns and estates. We will increasingly have to build new HDB flats within or near to existing estates. Even what we call “Non-Mature Estates” have become much more developed today. With the distinction between “Mature” and “Non-Mature Estates” blurring, a new framework is needed.

The full recordings of the Malay, Chinese and English speeches with subtitles will be available on the PMO YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/pmosingapore) shortly.
Goodnight from the PMO team!
PM Lee: One crucial task of preparing for the future is leadership renewal. I have every confidence in DPM Lawrence Wong and his team.
We share the same core convictions that we are stewards of Singapore, entrusted with the immense responsibility to lead and care for our nation.
Please give him and his team your fullest support too, now and after they take over.
This new framework of Standard, Plus and Prime flats will be a major change to the way HDB sells flats.
“Standard” flats are good flats built all over Singapore, and will have HDB’s standard subsidies and restrictions.
“Plus” flats are in choicer locations within a region and will have more subsidies and tighter restrictions than “Standard” flats.
“Prime” flats are in the most choicest and central locations in Singapore, and will have the most subsidies and tightest restrictions.
HDB will roll out this framework for all new projects from the 2nd half of 2024.
PM Lee: We will introduce a new “Plus” model for HDB flats at choicer locations within a region. More subsidies will be given for these flats, but they will have a longer MOP of 10 years and tighter restrictions when the home-owner resells the flat later on.
Читать полностью…PM Lee: The new framework has to achieve 3 important objectives. First, it has to keep home ownership affordable to all income groups. Second, it has to maintain a good social mix in every town and region. Lastly, it has to keep the system fair for everyone.
Читать полностью…The govt has kept housing affordable and accessible for Singaporeans by pricing them at a discount and providing a wide range of grants. COVID disrupted our public housing programme but we are ramping up supply and the market is calming down.
