Recently, there has been a debate about whether the government should step in and provide support to condo Management Corporation Strata Title (MCSTs) who may find themselves unable to fund essential works.

This comes as the government reviews the Building (Strata Management) Act, which outlines how MCSTs manage their estates.

But given that about 80 per cent of Singaporeans don't live in condos, extending government financial support in this area is not something I can ever see most taxpayers supporting.
