With 6.9m population, Property, banks, malls, genting, transports, construction counters all will move up. STI 4000 is not a dream. Chiong ahhhh.

They are now claiming 6.9m population is a "worse case scenario". looks like they have taken notice of the public uproar and are trying to placate public sentiments ahead of next week's parliament debate...

dont be so sure 6.9 or 7m is a done deal.

I think they already sense that Singaporean do not welcome this policy.. Most of the feedback are quite negative... I really seriously doubt they can reach that target.. but let's wait and see.. you never know what will have in 2030... Just like they also say we will be in World Cup in 2010

i am very much surprised at the language used

"worst case" scenario at 6.9million.
why use the word "worst case"?

does it mean even at 6.5million
1) TFR is so low that citizen population is still dropping.
2) GDP is 0 or negative

that needs to increase to 6.9million.
that would justify the usage of "worst case"

kbw explanation infrastructure needs is pure BS.

[Sam88]

well, at least Singapore has a white paper. what is Indonesia's plan?

u sold off Singapore properties already rite. i think for indonesian to come back to Singapore to play the property market, very tough with absd 15%. that's why I suggest indomie to help u with indo property market.

The old players (china, Indonesia, malaysians) may be a little fatigue at the moment due to 18% stamp duty. However this situation will change when their own market increase by 20% this year. Such an increase is not that hard to achieved in property market like indonesia. The new class of buyers will also emerge among the wealthy philipinos. They are able to cash in on their property boom.

6.9 mil would not have been an issue if the growth is organic and incentives are given to boost birth rate and infrastructure are built to enhance quality of living. Right now everything is growing $ $ $ in the eyes of the government, but really I cannot see and feel where the $ has been going into now.

I have many indo properties. They are usually freehold, unless if it an apartment then its a strata title.

The game plan is to sell your capital appreciating property and buy high rental yielding property. For example if u buy 200K sgd worth of jakarta property 2 years ago, now probaby worth 400k sgd. Since the rental is suck, then I will sell it and buy 1 million sgd property with 4000 dolar a month rental. I probably pay 2000 dollar in mortgage on my 600k loan.
