Workers’ Party tries to claim it said something else than it did about HDB

Does PSP want to destroy the property market in Singapore?
It sure as hell seems to bent on doing it. In my first post on the topic of their "affordable homes scheme" I explained how these people don't even understand their own figures. In this one I'm going to highlight just how catastrophic the
