Derek Fong :
The author is presenting only half the truth. Singapore’s reality is very different from China’s. With limited land, our housing system is built on 99‑year leases — spanning roughly two generations. In contrast, China’s shorter lease terms mean only one generation benefits, and inheritance cannot be passed down in the same way. In Singapore, children may inherit the remaining lease, though not perpetually. If they want a fresh 99‑year lease like their parents had, they must buy directly from the government, which requires selling the inherited flat first. This prevents unscrupulous profiteering, unlike the loopholes seen in China.
Singapore’s system is designed to be fair, transparent, and resistant to nepotism that favors only the wealthy. It balances inheritance with accountability, ensuring housing remains accessible for future generations. The author should wake up to the fact that Singapore’s policies are far more equitable than China’s, and dismissing them without understanding is misleading.”**
This version trims repetition, highlights the fairness of Singapore’s housing policy, and contrasts it clearly with China’s system.🤔
