So, by flipping your first BTO flat, you get a new flat and a new car for FREE!! Isn't this smart? Huat Ah!!
The median HH income is 8270. The ceiling for BTO is 10k which is probably the 60th percentile. For people to flip BTO, They must a) form a family nucleus b) earn below 10k (household) c) stay in the first BTO a for 5 years.

If a couple get married at 32 y.o and apply for their first BTO, the earliest they can sell is at 37y.o. You are basically giving a couple at 37 y.o earning less than 10k to own a car...

You are advising a 60th percentile family (pls try the salary.sg income tool) to buy a car in the country with the world's most expensive cars????

Where is your conscience?
