BTO flats make many people very rich. Government give people easy money by selling these BTO cheap.

i'm 34 and earn 8k+ as a civil servant. Still living in
hdb flat. Some of my colleagues live in condos while some in hdbs, but it has never been a subject of discussion among us.
In fact, i dont see this whole point of upgrading to a condo. We have good neighbours, all the amenities/facilities we need are nearby and close to school.
MRT/bus stop is close too. I feel living in
HDB is more comfortable compared to condo. What we need is what we get here.
Condo - chances are what you need is not what you get. And what you get is not what you need.
