Gong Xi Fa Cai :)
The current Housing problem is Created due to 2 main factors.
But the problem it is costing Singaporeans and our future generations is far reaching.
It should have been the FIRST priority to tackle when the problem first appear and no it is not market speculation as most would like us to believe.
