The regional Indonesian assembly of Batam threatens to block the gas flow pipes from ConocoPhilips via Batam to Singapore unless Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) normalizes gas supply to the industrial island. "We and the people of Batam will block gas flow to Singapore,"

Recommended by simontay78: "If this article is real and possible...that means all Singaporean must at least prepare of a possible blackout coming soon in June 2008. If it does not happens...great....but if it did happened then I won't be able to sleep well without telling everyone about it."

Is the HDB fulfilling the needs of Singaporeans?

Leong Sze Hian said:

Why is the HDB giving flats to private real estate companies en-bloc to rent out to foreigners and permanent residents, when there are thousands of Singaporeans on the waiting list?

What gives?

Is it not the HDB’s mission to provide affordable housing to meet the housing needs of Singaporeans, especially the lower-income?

Or is it the HDB’s mission to rent out flats to foreigners and PRs to make a profit?
