Consider raising the income cap to allow more to buy HDB BTO flats

MEET the eligibility criteria and one has the chance to participate tangibly in the Singapore dream by being able to buy a build-to-order (BTO) Housing Development Board (HDB) flat at a subsidised price.

For some young adults, the chance to jointly own a BTO flat is an incentive to get hitched. And for those who are rapidly climbing the career ladder, do tie the knot sooner.

To be eligible to buy a BTO flat, a couple comprising a Singapore citizen and another citizen or a permanent resident cannot have average monthly household income that exceeds S$14,000.
