Mainly because Buyers from the US, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland do not need to pay ABSD for their first residential home in Singapore.
US allows dual-citizenship so quite a few foreigners get US citizenship and thus can buy condos in Singapore without paying ABSD.

It is a big loophole to have included ABSD exemption in the SG-US Free Trade Agreement. So many ATs and ANs have US citizenship.

“Quite a few are of South Asian descent but holding US citizenship.
