So whatever rules u implement pap HDB has risen from thousands to millions $ so all that in place has failed it’s just stalling with fire fighting ! Make up your mind how to tighten if pap govt HDB starts selling HDB from thousand to hundreds of thousands while u stop owners from selling millions ?
