SINGAPORE: After National Development Minister Desmond Lee said that the government is studying better access to housing for singles, Workers’ Party MP Louis Chua reiterated the call to lower the eligibility age for singles to 28 years, an issue he raised in Parliament last year.
Posting a screenshot of the report on Facebook early on Tuesday morning , Mr Chua wrote that he was glad to hear about this update of more equitable access to housing for singles. He called it “, titled ‘Ensuring the housing needs of singles and Singaporeans are met’.” Therefore, Mr Chua wrote that he is “thus heartened” to read that Minister Desmond Lee is now considering the rent-to-own model to “address affordability concerns,” and ended his post by expressing that “For the sake of our fellow Singaporeans, single or otherwise, I do hope these discussions come to fruition!”
