He said he paid $8. Not that unbelievable.last year some one said $8 can do a bypass surgery
this year $1k can buy HDB
:faint: .......
My dad paid less then $30 for his triple bypass. He had his choice of surgeons and stayed in an A class ward.
As for the $1K salary a mth can afford a HDB flat, that is after they introduce the new scheme I guess. I have some catching up to do.

Why somebody wont walk the talk?

The surgery can even be FOC..
Can peasants afford or willing to pay for that kind of premium hospitalisation plans? If you're not sick or require medical treatment, the money is down the drain.
If no insurance related plan.. the $8 is a joke.. really.. -

And there are more people I know who have that kind of benefits. -
Actually we have to look at things in context instead of jumping to conclusions. If it’s 2rm flats with grants that they are talking about , with final price of the flat at about $40k, then it’s affordable as it should be paid fully by CPF.

Funz. Please enlighten us how can that be done

If yes, my dad has it. And his medical bills are covered by govt. He used to be a civil servant. I believe there is no longer such a medical scheme. Maybe only for \"selected\" groups of people. :evil:
If you are in private sector, there is no such benefit. -

Those under pension...yes possible...but these ppl should be about 70 plus by now...they still can get :moneyflies: :moneyflies: monthly....for our generation not possible lah -
Those pension scheme civil servants... Dun compare lah... Elite minority...
The 2-rm hdb... How many eligible and benefitted from the subsidies? Also not majority...
The rest who dun qualify one... Must catch up?
:? -
Yup, it is pension. In any case this $8 medical bill is a bit :offtopic: here.
Just trying to say, it may not be something that is available to all, does not mean that it does not exist. Yes, it smarts that someone who could well afford to pay $800K for his surgery is paying only $8 and happily announcing to everyone. And no it is no longer available now but I am still benefitting from it as I don't have to worry about my parents' medical bills.
Likewise, this $1k/mth being able to afford a flat may seem like a joke but that does not mean it is not possible. It is being made possible just that most of us here do not fall into that bracket and thus will not experience it.
Why be so quick to call everything that the govt is trying to roll out a joke, or lame or a smoke screen?
