if bank pay you 1% and charge you 3-4% interest, bank's profitability will be super huat man. maybe switch from REITs to banks.

Speaking of policies, govt can implement some for the purpose of stablizing the market, but to go too far will be against the principle of free market, that will be detrimental to Singapore's foundation. In fact, ABSD for Singaporeans is already too far, it is already a wrong step; those rumored MSR restriction for private or or the increase of reserve requirement would be even a bigger mistake if implemented. If policies can be tweaked like that, what good is Singapore against countries under dictatorships?

And some more implement policy like flipping roti-prata? Implement and then so soon a few days later change again?!

Rumours acting on fear, spurring buyers to buy more, I think. Whatever will be, will be. Que sera, sera...

With the loan caps and ABSD, more properties are held back by foreigner investors. Talk to ANY Indons who own more than 3 properties in Sg, ask them what price they will sell their units - they will give you some ridiculous price like 20% above valuation.

Well, that's why i said raise property tax. In fact, the government should have a different rate for foreigners owning Singapore property.

In today's Context, Singapore is indeed unquiely different.

Think about it.

i think is more bo pian. Everyone is doing it. And these few years are abnormal. US and the Europeans used to be so proud of their free markets, but look at them now. They re heavily interventionist. Anything involving banks bail out, print money.
