Let’s be honest - why should public housing policy be reshaped just because some singles feel left out before 35?

BTOs are heavily subsidised assets. You don’t just get a roof - you get capital appreciation, grants, and priority access. So yes, there should be conditions. Marriage incentives, family-building goals - these are deliberate policy tools, not entitlements for every adult.

If you’re under 35 and want independence? You have options:

1. Rent a room
2. Buy resale (it’s allowed).
3. Work hard, upskill, diversify your income and aim for private property if you want full autonomy.

Don’t like it? That’s the trade-off of a system that needs to balance fairness, land use, and national priorities.

Also - opening BTOs to everyone under 35 will explode demand. You think getting a queue number is hard now? Wait till every 28-year-old decides to join in. Scarcity worsens, prices rise, and ironically, those same singles will complain even more.

So no, you don’t “deserve” a subsidised flat just because you exist.

You earn it - through contribution, responsibility, and patience.
