actually if crash overall is better for future gen. it will definitely go down

my guess is the terms will not be as favourable (obviously)

and need to top up a lot more money

and there will be leased based.

Suppose you are 75 yo now. govt ask u to SERS then u will get it for free... and i heard got give u like 40k or dunno what

if VERS, they will check your whole family to see if rly got money (you know most of their kids blah blah and even themselves got money also wont want to take out)

if you really die die say no, they will probably give u terms like leased based. if you really no money they will let u stay there until u die

so if u live until 120 yrs old means you tan tio

but later what if you live until say 80, or 85? you will feel short changed... so your house instead will be leased based. meaning since u cant fork out additional say 200k or more to "top up" to 99 years lease, your lease will be 30 years or 50 years


so your kid will "inherit" the lease of the existing flat. let's put it at 50 years. if your kid wish to top up to 99 years (or same number of lease left by then after u uplorry), they will have to pay at the paid up price + maybe additional based on prevailing market transactions

i spoke abt this topic many times at hwz and over here liao. i dont think there is another way out
