Housing policies to be 'broadened' for second-time buyers

Quota in this category will be doubled.

According to Minister for National Development Khaw Boon Wan and Senior Minister of State Lee Yi Shyan, second timer quota for 2-room and 3-room flats in non-mature estates will be doubled.

The quota for flats in non-mature estates will increase from 15% to 30% this year.

Out of the 30%, 5% will be reserved for divorcees or widows/widowers who have underage children.

The changes will implemented from the May launch. Debarment period for divorcees applying for subsidised flats will be shortened from 5 to 3 years.

These were announced in the Budget 2013 debate.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
