Dream of owning property

IF there’s one word that will make Singaporeans sit up, it’s “property”. During the golden era, there was hardly a conversation that did not touch on the real estate market. 

For most people elsewhere, a property was a home they needed to live in. For land-squeezed Singaporeans, property has been a national preoccupation, a dream about buying and selling, upgrading or just moving to places where their children could qualify for the best schools.
