    [SINGAPORE] The Housing & Development Board’s (HDB) upcoming June 2026 Build-To-Order (BTO) exercise will offer approximately 6,900 flats in Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Bukit Merah, Sembawang and Woodlands.

    Doubtless, many eligible young local couples will make a beeline to secure their maiden home at the upcoming BTO exercise. And getting a good ballot number is critical to snaring a choice unit.

    However, life is not easy for many young people. After struggling through the stressful academic rat race, finding a suitable full-time permanent job can be challenging especially with mounting economic uncertainties.
