The New HDB: Prime, Plus, Standard
The Topic: A deep dive into the biggest shake-up to Singapore's public housing in decades. This new classification system (from October 2024) fundamentally changes the BTO landscape.
Why it's Interesting: It introduces a 10-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) and a subsidy clawback for Prime and Plus flats. This is a massive social and financial engineering project to tackle the "lottery effect" of well-located flats.
Key Research Questions: Will this new system successfully cool the resale market? Is the 10-year MOP too restrictive for young families? What does this mean for singles, who can now buy 2-room BTOs in all locations?
