Singaporeans are so blessed with a very clever govt that could devise such a miraculous scheme call asset enhancement. The scheme revolves around the buying of 99 year lease public flats built by the govt at relatively low price and the owner could eventually sell it at a hugely inflated price, to receive an expected windfall along the way. It is a sure win formula and many Singaporeans are now very wealthy landlord in a way, sitting on a public flat that is worth at least $300k for the smallest unit in the open market and some worth more than a million for the bigger units. As in all sure win schemes, there is a caveat of course.
Here is how the price sure go up scheme works.
Year 1 - Buy a public flat from the govt, say at $250k.
Year 5 - Eligible to sell in the open market at asking price of $350k.
Year 10 - Open market price could be $450k.
Year 20 - Open market price could be $550k
Year 30 - Open market price goes higher to $650k.
Year 40 - $750k!
Year 60 - $800k!
Year 80 - $850k!
Year 90 - $850!
Year 100 - $0!
Every flat owner could look at this guide to see the price of his flat could go up and up all the years. Notice the caveat, make sure they are not holding on to the flat at year 100.
The scheme is very favourable to those who sell the flats at a profit in the first 50 to 60 years. Singaporeans could go for a second bite of the cherry to buy another public flat from the govt to restart the cycle. Foreigners could only buy from the open market so the margin of profit cannot be as high as the Singaporeans buying direct from the govt. But they are still guaranteed of a reasonable profit.
For those new citizens who bought and sold and bought again and sold to return to their original country, this scheme is highly favourable to them as they would not hold on to the flat till year 100. I might say a bit sorry for those who have to hold on to their flats till the very end, its miraculous price would miraculously become 0, no value, just like Cinderella when the clock struck midnight and everything turned into smokes..
This is quite like the magician turning a piece of paper into money only for the money to be turned into worthless paper at the end of the game. Be clever to cash out when you can or your store of value will vanish into thin air.
It is a Ponzi Scheme. There is really no asset involved. The box is a illusion. The moment it hits 40 years, value drops like a WWII bombs from the sky.
ReplyDeleteRedbean, why are you such a miserable person? You have just shattered the dreams of many Singaporeans. With this article you have just turned many happy people sad. Please be kind, do not shatter the dreams of many Singaporeans. Let them continue their happiness in cloud 9. They read the GOOD NEWS paper and are happy, so please do not be a downer and make them miserable. OK? Be kind Redbean.
ReplyDelete"Be clever to cash out......",Redbean.
ReplyDeleteThen no need to have shelter after that ah?
lt is a good idea though and the Government knows too. lt is now holding on to the cash from the Cash Out Redbean suggested and plough it into the CPF.
So, what cash out ?
Every 1 should learn to merge.
ReplyDeleteOn streets of sg.b4 hdb lease ens.
Uncle, this AssHset Enhancement is an entrapment scheme by the G & it shows the very selfish nature of Sinkies in Sinkieland. Why? ..ur coffin monies will be depleted when u retire ( unless u r very thrifty) & when u sell the current hdb flat the next one will be very expensive ( or a levy if u downgrade), many of these old flats ( >20yrs) will have the concrete walls, ceiling start to fade & 'falls' down or leaks ( if there is no HIP from G), some r poorly maintain by the previous owners ( with faded paints, false ceiling discoloration etc)think thrice if u wanna buy ..

ReplyDeleteVery Simple! Very Simple!
Worry not! Worry not!
I have a proposal.
When a HDB flat reached 99 years, the govt can valued the flat based on market value.
If the owner wishes to extend the lease for another 10, 20 to 30 years, the onwer needs only to pay 50% cash or from their CPF accounts! CPF accounts! CPF accounts!
The govt will "subsidised" the other 50%!
So make sure you have lots of money in your banks and CPF CPF CPF accounts.
Goooooooooood?
@ April 24, 2017 9:31 am
ReplyDeleteI have a better idea.
When the HDB flat reaches 99 years .... ownership is transferred from HDB to you ... for free.
This is how we maintain the value of our HDB floats.
And to prevent the prices from crashing.
Do you think PAP will do this?
Or do you think we will have to vote in an Opposition government to do this?
Khongcum uncle khongcum thinking.
ReplyDeleteGot 250k go convert other currency n buy small house oversea.99 years or not not important.Spent you remaining years with foreign chiobus n meimeis .
These foreign gentle chiobu can bring you happiness and your life span can be extended for many years.That is many times better than you pigeon hole.
If you still strong,they can oso produce babies for you .Babies are your asset.
What for wasting time on your pigeon hole that only stress you and shorten your life.
Khongcum uncle 9:54 has another khongcum idea. Think old cock going for young grass and young grass so stupid let old cock do what it likes. When money transferred, young grass would tell old cock to fuck off, don't come back.
ReplyDeleteKhongcum uncle thinks young grass as daft as daft sinkies, no brain to think what is best for them and let old cock do what old cock wants.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy while it last. Tick Tock tick Tock.
For govt to have lots of money, they must preach prosperity gospel like Kong Tau.
ReplyDeleteYou sow money into their church ground, you reap asset appreciation.
Difference is, govt no need go jail like pastors. If go jail, reduce sentence to noting because their law said method of rip off done wrongly only so rip off church stays but do it rightly this time
Actually, Kong tau rip off better. Sell fart in the air gets lots of money to buy Sentosa Cove penthouse and fund vain pot wife religious career in Hollywood. Smarter than stupid govt yes?

ReplyDeleteWilling seller;willing buyer. Willing, "innocent" crooks; willing victims. The former entices with wealth enhancement schemes, the latter willingly sell their soul to "innocent schemers".
ReplyDeleteInnocent? My foot!
Both deserve each other. It is called white crime because damages as a result of your choice as willing victims.

ReplyDeleteGod make sure everyone comes with nothing, and goes with nothing. Very fair, tio bo?
In closing, Pringle said, “Christ in you is the hope of health when you’re sick. He’s the hope of justice, the hope of financial well-being. He is the hope of honor, the hope of progress and the hope of friends when you’ve been betrayed. He is the hope of fullness when you’ve been empty, the hope of employment when you’ve been unemployed. He is the hope of a house when you’re homeless, the hope of a child when you’re bound, the hope of peace when you’re angry. He is a hope for the future when you think you have none.”
ReplyDeleteHE IS THE HOPE OF A HOUSE WHEN YOU ARE HOMELESS HAHAHAHA

But, he noted: “When there is a reaction to a sentence by the public, as in the Joshua Robinson case, then I think it is important for us as policymakers to sit down and understand why people are upset ... It is important because these people represent the ground feelings — they are mothers, they are sisters, they are people who want their children to be safe.”
ReplyDeleteHe added: “But it doesn’t mean automatically you agree with it. You must assess it, whether it is also fair. So, there are two parts to it — one, whether it is fair; two, what does the public believe is right.”
Let the elites decide what's fair? LoL

And after paying a few hundred thousand dollars for it. Think of those who paid a million or more with a lease balance of less than 70 years.
