We are taking special care of elderly Sporeans. We launched the Pioneer Generation Package to help them. So far, 450,000 have benefited, and we have spent more than $1.3b of the $8b we set aside.

The Govt will work out a “Merdeka Package” for Singaporeans born in the 1950s. It will cover similar areas as the Pioneer Generation Package and help meet their medical expenses.

Singapore’s housing policies have been uniquely successful. We are the only major city in the world where nearly every young couple getting married can afford to buy their first home immediately.

3 FUTURE PLANS FOR HOUSING

1. Expand HIP to upgrade flats built btwn 1987-1997.

2. HIP II to upgrade flats a 2nd time when they reach 60-70yrs.

3. VERS to progressively redevelop precincts, fr abt the 70th yr.
