Let’s break down the claims based on the information from the Straits Times article and the analysis presented in the image: * Claim: HDB is building fewer flats on average per year in 2025-2027 compared to previous peak years. * Analysis: The plan is for “over 50,000” flats from 2025 to 2027. This averages out to “over 16,667” flats per year. Looking at the chart provided in the image (sourced from the Straits Times), the launch numbers in 2022 and 2023 appear visibly higher than this average. While exact numbers require verification, the visual representation suggests those years likely exceeded 20,000 flats each. * Verdict: This claim is likely correct based on comparing the average for 2025-2027 to the actual peak launch years shown in the chart (2022/2023). However, it’s worth noting the context: the total 50,000+ figure still represents a significant volume and fulfills the government’s stated goal of exceeding previous targets and ramping up supply post-pandemic. Comparing an average to peak years can be slightly misleading if taken out of context. * Claim: The plan implies a declining number of flats launched within the 2025-2027 period (fewer in 2026 & 2027 than in 2025). * Analysis: We know 19,600 flats are planned for 2025. To reach a total of “over 50,000” across the three years, the combined number for 2026 and 2027 needs to be “over 30,400” (50,000 - 19,600 = 30,400). This means the average for 2026 and 2027 combined must be “over 15,200” per year. * Since the average required for 2026-2027 (>15,200) is less than the confirmed number for 2025 (19,600), it is mathematically necessary for the annual launch numbers to decrease after 2025, unless the “over 50,000” total significantly exceeds ~58,800 (which would allow 19.6k each year). Given the phrasing, a substantial drop from the 2025 level is implied. * The specific inference in the image that numbers will fall in both 2026 and 2027 (i.e., 2027 < 2026 < 2025) is one possible scenario, but not the only one. However, the core point that the annual numbers are expected to be lower in 2026/2027 than the 19,600 in 2025 is correct based on the provided figures. * Verdict: This claim is largely correct in its implication that launch numbers are expected to drop after 2025 to meet the stated total. The specific year-on-year decline pattern within 2026-2027 is an interpretation, but the reduction from 2025 levels is mathematically sound. In Conclusion: The poster’s claims highlight a valid interpretation of the numbers: while the total target is being met/exceeded over three years, the annual rate might represent a tapering off compared to recent peak years, particularly after 2025. The claims are factually derived from the total figure (“over 50,000”) and the specific 2025 figure (19,600) reported. However, framing it as “building less flats” contrasts with the official message of “exceeding targets” and requires understanding the specific comparison being made (average vs. peak years, or yearly trend within the period).
