In 1968, when opening the first of many affordable housing schemes, the first Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew gave a good reason why he was focused on building affordable housing for his people.
“My Primary preoccupation is to give every citizen a stake in the country and its future. I said, let everybody own a home, their value goes up if the place is clean and beautiful on the inside and outside” he said.
I love quoting Lee Kuan Yew and will continue quoting him ad nauseum: remember, they started this Singapore thing. I didn’t.
