The Agenda: PM Wong says more BTO chances, higher income ceilings... but is it enough to help Singaporeans start families?

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has announced major changes to Singapore’s public housing policies, including higher income ceilings for BTO flats and Executive Condominiums, and more ballot chances for first-timer families with children.

But how much difference will these changes actually make for young couples starting a family? Will they ease the financial pressure of buying a home and give parents more room to focus on the rising costs of raising children?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Lee Nai Jia, Director of PropertyDoctors Singapore, about what the changes mean for young families and whether they could make housing a less daunting part of starting a family.
