00:00What has the government done to control or to manage the HDB flat prices?
00:11It just continues to go up, continue to ramp up supply of the HDB flats is one thing.
00:19But at the same time, I think there needs to be an overall strategy on the part of the government
00:25to rein in the escalating public housing prices.
00:30But under the current system, HDB prices, including BTO prices, are not going to stop rising,
00:38and not going to stop rising at such a rapid pace.
00:42So we have to actually talk about some real solutions.
00:47And PSP has proposed a solution in our affordable home scheme,
00:54which is a scheme that says that Singaporeans who just want to live in HDB flats
00:59do not need to pay land costs.
01:02The government is totally distorting the original purpose of public housing.
01:09And PSP strongly invite Minister Desmond Lee to debate on that point.
01:21and PSP's with the government.
01:25However, at the same time, the people at PSP IN anda is a key for the service of the human being.
01:29And so, I would like to mention that you will make sure the experience even of the different aspects of the government.
