Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 5: Nadia Ahmad Samdin on housing for seniors, supporting home ownership for rental flat households
Many seniors want to right-size their homes, but what initiatives and safeguards are in place to ensure that they understand their options and financial ability before making a decision? Will prices of Community Care Apartments for seniors be kept at an affordable level? These were some questions put forward by MP Nadia Ahmad Samdin in Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 8). She also spoke on families staying in public rental flats who find the transition to owning a home an "uphill battle". Ms Nadia wanted to know the criteria used to preliminarily assess if individuals are ready to buy a flat.
