三巴望，最后的堡垒被攻陷。难道这真是个阴谋？这个月PR quota更新，因为客户的原因，首先查了sembawang。
上个月 50x, 589a-f，20多栋楼，pr还都可以买，这个月，已经是深蓝色的了。
在三月，政府刚刚公布PR QUOTA的时候，我还纳闷，“英明”的新加坡政府，为何出如此无聊的政策。这个政策的理由是防止PR聚居。当时觉得完全是无理取闹，有点故意恶心PR讨好citizen的意思，没有实际意义。毕竟，设置pr quota，抬高pr买房的门坎，其实是逼pr继续租房，而租房恰恰容易出现合租，容易聚居。真要防止聚居，那租房也应该设置quota吧（希望不要被我言中）？
三月政策出台时，一丝隐忧，5%的比例是不是低了点儿？
现在，回国头看，政府真的英名。结合马同学之前的讲话“组屋市场”已经失去平衡。其实，政府早就明白，这5年来，移民政策放宽，而基础设施建设（房屋，交通）滞后，已经是人怨沸腾。当组屋已经明显供应不足的时候，一个pr quota，把95%的二手组屋留给了新加坡人。
看几个数据。
现有的组屋不到100万套，这是各大中介行之间的共识（政府是没有公布的）。今年政府宣布将兴建第100万套组屋，也说明这点。就算100万，能够进入2手市场的，又得去掉一部分。好了，就算全部能进入二手市场。100w的5%� (more...)

SINGAPORE - The Government is moving to encourage more permanent residents in the country to take up citizenship. And in some cases, their PR status "will not be renewed" should they decline to swap for the red passport, said Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong yesterday.
Mr Goh was speaking at a dialogue session with Marine Parade residents to gather feedback on Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's National Day Rally speech last month.
Responding to a suggestion from a participant who said Employment Pass holders should take up citizenship, Mr Goh noted that such a move would discourage foreign talent from working in Singapore. Moreover, Employment Pass holders serve as buffers - their numbers can be reduced, during a downturn, said Mr Goh.
But Mr Goh added: "Moving forward, we are going to approach some (PRs) to take up Singapore citizenship. If they don't, then their PR (status) will not be renewed. That's a better way. We now have quite a few PRs, 500,000 in Singapore, so hopefully maybe, 50,000 can be selected to become Singapore citizens, the rest can be PRs, contributing to Singapore's economy."
However, Mr Goh did not elaborate on how the process would work.
入籍本是应该发自心底的一件事，如此强迫是否有些不妥？建议政府给每个pr发一封信，想入籍的签个字寄回去，再在这些想入籍的里面选五万，此五万人一定对ZF的英明决断感恩不尽，必然去做ZF想要的事情；而我等不想入籍的P民也不必到时候纠结（就算有人纠结之后入籍，未必会给ZF投信任票，这样岂不是失算？）。
