4k+ back in 80s, early 90s
can own 4 to 5 rm flat. Some more is BIGGER Than present so call BTO flat.
If you go old 4/5 rm HDB flat vs current ones. You can really see the difference which old HDB flat is bigger. YET cheaper.
This is why the " system " is getting mess up , now . Who benefit most behind ? Those money go where?

Only expensive HDB.
