There&#39;s still a fair bit of area need to be dug up on Site 2, 3, 5 and they have not even started moving on 6 yet and that is the one that links up the two river.<br /><br />Site 1 I must say is moving fairly fast though as they are starting to lay concrete onto the river bed.<br /><br />The weather also doesn&#39;t help with the last couple of days constantly raining away. Hard for the workers to work.Michael Yiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03804325997011653021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876422285806931277.post-10221967926847894482009-05-01T17:10:00.000+08:002009-05-01T17:10:00.000+08:00very interesting info, just moved into punggol so the info is good. :DMichael Yiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03804325997011653021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876422285806931277.post-46282611074062238532009-03-26T22:47:00.000+08:002009-03-26T22:47:00.000+08:00Definition of subsidy<br><br>"In economics, a subsidy (also known as a subvention) is a form of financial assistance paid to a business or economic sector"<br><br>A subsidy based on market price is not true subsidy. And to say that our HDB price is generously subsidised is a way bit too self trumpeting when in actual fact the HDB did not subsidise anything.<br><br>Put it this way. The market price is determined by the market and the market price is has the element of PROFIT. IF we buy the flat with our own money and the government gave 40K, then that is subsidy to offset the profit.<br><br>However for first time buyers, the real subsidy should be based on the cost price of the flats. That is to mean that subsidy should cancel out some of the flat cost price.<br><br>Selling price of flat = cost of building flat - subsidy.<br><br>Therefore to say the subsidy is generous is contrary to normal understanding what subsidy should do. And in the context of non-profit organisation such as HDB, then the subsidy should be used to defray the building cost and not the market selling price.<br><br>Our flats should be the lowest priced for those who wants to start a family. I find that HDB is becoming more and more money minded to the point that HDB real estate prices is getting ridiculous. How to know?<br><br>When the selling price of HDB new flats is higher than market price. It shouldn't be and that shows the vast gulf between building cost and selling price.Wilzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02387650927649767929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876422285806931277.post-90929723717833387252009-02-26T03:01:00.000+08:002009-02-26T03:01:00.000+08:00waouh the picture is stunningLazyKinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00107095466924598166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876422285806931277.post-29904572402652945252009-02-11T13:29:00.000+08:002009-02-11T13:29:00.000+08:00Thanks LazyKing :)pinkcoralhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13331802682572227944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876422285806931277.post-11027354146865727432009-02-11T12:40:00.000+08:002009-02-11T12:40:00.000+08:00haha you are the first one I see who have the same layout than me. <br>Your blog is cool too.
