Vers effectively replaces Sers – which involved compulsory acquisition and compensated owners based on the market value of their flat. There are no further plans for Sers projects.

Since 1995, 82 Sers projects were announced, including one still under way.

Concerned by this, then National Development Minister Lawrence Wong issued HDB flat owners a rare reality check in 2017, when he said that leases will run out for the vast majority of public flats and that these flats will be returned to the Housing Board, with flat prices falling accordingly as leases run down.

The “lease reality” was also spelt out by then Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the 2018 National Day Rally, when he said HDB dwellers will need to pay for a new lease when their current leases run out.

“This is only fair, because you bought the original flat knowing when the lease would run out, and knowing that the flat would then have to be returned to HDB,” he said then.

Fed policymakers see the central bank's benchmark rate falling by another half of a percentage point by the end of this year, another full percentage point in 2025, and by a final half of a percentage point in
2026 to end in a 2.75 to 3.00 per cent range.

Real estate market, may see our own SG interest rate dropping below 2% by next year.

The central bank’s decision brings the benchmark federal-funds rate to a range between 4.75% and 5% and follows an all-out fight against inflation launched two years ago.
