Perceptions are the truth

Hi all,

Im awake and all ready for work again.
The morning started disturbing enough again... I strongly believe i should stop reading the papers. I cant seem to grasp what my dearest leaders are thinking and it definately didnt help that their words are captured and publish in just about every major newspaper. I hope the circulation of the papers remains locally.


"HDB flat still very affordable for average S'porean
Some get up to $88k in subsidies, says Mah Bow Tan; also flats still cheap enough for families to use CPF for full mortgage payments

And flats are still cheap enough for families to be able to fund their mortgage instalments entirely from Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions - without the need to stump up cash

Mr Mah said: 'A recent Ministry of Finance simulation estimated that the typical young low-income household could enjoy housing subsidies worth about $88,000.'

Anyone knows just how much subsidies does the majorityrest of the population gets? There are 2 sides of the coin...i think alot of us would appreciate measures that directly affects the general population...

And really....reporting news that affects 5% of the population is definately a waste of space/time.

Disappointed..
