I think he was looking at those who bought HDB at BTO price and selling them with big profit. For example I have a relative who bought a new 3rm HDB at just around $20K about 50 years ago and later sold them more than $150K some 20 years later. Then those 5rm flats in Queenstown cost around $450K some 20 years ago are now selling at around one million.
So, for these people HDB flats are free and on top made another 100% or more profit...... ![Big Grin Big Grin](https://sgtalk.net/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
Selling an investment for a profit does not make the investtment free!..the moron was using the word 'free'.
By this flawed logic, there r so many places in the world also property is free. Australia property went up 20 yrs straight.
