    THE Singapore government is paying "close attention" to the local real estate market "to ensure that it remains stable", said Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat.

    This is because "we must continue to enable young Singaporeans to own their homes and fulfil their aspirations", Mr Heng noted in his speech at the Real Estate Developers' Association of Singapore's (Redas) 61st anniversary celebration on Monday.
