Home ownership still a key social pillar: Boon Wan

[SINGAPORE] Home ownership remains a key social pillar here, and the government will continue to help Singaporeans realise their dreams of owning a home, said Minister for National Development Khaw Boon Wan.

In a posting on his Housing Matters blog yesterday, Mr Khaw wrote that home ownership "gives Singaporeans a tangible stake in our country, financial security, and a critical sense of belonging".

"HDB estates are where Singaporeans build homes, start families and form strong bonds with their neighbours and communities. These are the lasting intangibles."
