PROPERTY prices in Singapore have not seen a "meaningful correction" yet, said Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam on Tuesday.

"We have seen some correction in both private property prices and HDB resale prices over the last 4-5 quarters, but

He meant business ? He really want to deflate asset value with CMs intentionally ?
One minister used to enlighten the people "If price of property goes down is as good as raiding the reserve " ?

Not too sure and don't remember his name.
But many know him because he was special and doesn't like to talk through his mouth .

If you sell below market price is raiding the reserve. Property price comes down is not.

I agree with Tharman and many of us had said in previous threads that developers Ka-ching when market rise and people groan should not KPKB so soon when market corrects

As per our previous discussions, commercially property purchase is like "prepaid expense". Value of this prepaid expense goes up because cost of living, and demand ie population growth, has gone up. End of the day we have to keep this factor of production relatively low to improve our competitiveness. That's why SGD strengthening is losing the mojo as cost drivers are not from imports, but from asset inflation. Now we have to go through the adjustment.

Good thing for us and in many asian countries is that govts were the ones that came in to clamp down on the asset prices, so the adjustment is painful but manageable. Those who dogmatically believe in "free market" will have to experience Spain or Ireland, when markets force your hand to react. UK and Australia would be interesting real-time case studies for those who have never seen it before. Nothing new under the sun.

He told people like KLB and other property developers don't bother to sing the same song again and again.

I never disagree with him. What i don't like is that they never admit their mistakes... they never listen to the grounds that something is not right and they kept pegging HDB prices to that of market to make more $.

Hence my point has always been - they created the problems, problems got out of control due to hot $ flows that has historically been Singapore's history - being SE Asia financial centre and now they are playing god to solve the problems.

Anyway, its not just them, all politicians in the world are the same. Hence we can only pre-empt them and act in out best interests.
