hmmmm.. correct me if im wrong. My parents, as well as my friends (who already went for flat selection and those monitoring the BTO scheme) told me that Khaw somehow mentioned in his blog or the press that there will be lesser BTO (as compared to the recent few months of BTO every month). though the size might be bigger as mentioned by rojak. i somehow, also heard from both my parents and friends that in the future, couples need not have to wait 3 years for a flat, and can just select from existing available flats, like what my parents went though. And it wont be like those "by invitation only" now. Correct me if im wrong again.
Also, it was a big issue on the papers and news (somewhere during election period) when Mao mentioned that there are actually 1000plus surplus flat, so there are no hurry and rush for couples to get a flat since there are still sooo many available flats around (which why didnt the government release it to the public?) And that was when BTO is not that common. So, many, including me, are speculating that there will be quite a number of left over flats when the BTOs are all up and completed (somehow proven by the drop-out rate everyday reflected on HDB)
Anyway, it's not a concern for me now because i've choosen a unit recently (after soo many failed attempts!) So am just keeping a lookout for my girl-friends who are still waiting for their turn ^^
