The mean and median of such statistics are more independent of economic cycles. Therefore Minister Mah’s chart from 1999 to last year would be more reliable compared to Hazel’s chart from 2000, 2001 or 2006 to last year.<br /><br />I think the government has heard and value feedback of HDB prices from the ground. The government has increased BTO projects and legislated rules to prevent speculations in response to these feedback.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371279528430431684.post-87898580452694194572010-02-08T01:23:13.796+08:002010-02-08T01:23:13.796+08:00What about taking on HDB with a court action?

I can see our citizen constitutional rights being violated here. Let the court decide the irrationality of the HDB rulings. That would also buy enough time for the son to complete his NS. I am sure if a fund to challenge HDB is organised, many people would support and test the authority. There may be lawyers who would take up such cases pro-bono. People in Singapore must learn to organise themselves to fight for their rights and not take the helpless approach to challenges.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371279528430431684.post-44578628400845321772010-02-08T00:48:54.333+08:002010-02-08T00:48:54.333+08:00Dear Anonymous @ February 4, 2010 9:03 AM

Putting the homeless issue aside, your friend's issue can be resolved if she went ahead to push HDB hard enough. <br /><br />The Board's upper management is actually pretty lax and understanding, and its the guys on the ground who are screwed up. I've done this several times on my own and family's behalf so it really depends on how much you want to fight for it.<br /><br />Look to a MP for help (if they are compassionate enough), and if not, go to AMK and see LSL during his meet the people session.

This is a difficult problem to solve, especially since it takes a fairly long cycle and a series of bad decisions before people end up as homeless. Furthermore, there are multiple pathways to homelessness and it can be difficult to generalize. <br /><br />And often, it is within this context of "free choices" that right-leaning folks claim that people chose to be homeless by choice. In this case, if husband and wife had void their divorce, they would not be kicked out. <br /><br />Flexibility in applying the rules would have resolved the problem. But remember, we are not used to doing that, particularly when dealing with poor/powerless/unemployed people. <br /><br />Based on the sociological literature that I read, the same thing happen in USA too. Abuses of the system, when committed by a poor person somehow get framed differently in the media. Abuses by rich or white collar people are more sophistiacted and get framed differently.<br /><br />In USA, resources that were poured into organizationas for helping the homeless and tax credits given to corporations for donating food/clothes/etc had not resolved the problems. <br /><br />Many not-for-profit, homeless shelters are reimbursed by govt agencies and operators end up trying to make money. Some of these operators are social workers who were passionate about helping the poor when they were younger.<br /><br />Many corporations donated expired items and claim full prices in their tax credit. Moreover, these items were not necessarily what the homeless people need. However, food banks had to take them because these corporations also donate cash and other resources.<br /><br />Over time, stories of homeless people become "commodities" that are traded for resources - homelessness has become an industry in USA. That is the thesis of my paper.<br /><br />Applying to your situation, I think it is far better to advocate for flexibility in managing bureacratic laws than to propose a policies, rules and anything that could potentially be counter-productive in a right-leaning environment. <br /><br />In particular, civil servants who were part of the problems are going to be part of the solution. They need to apply their conscience to flexibly resolve the problems, without this "flexibility ethos" overspilling to the regulation of business - be very careful about the generalization and thus consequent rhetorical abuse of the term "flexibility".<br /><br />How fairness is framed is key because it seems to be a major justification principle in the institutionalized world that civil servants operate in. As an example, recall the HDB officer's appeal about fairness to the husband.<br /><br />Enough said about sociology!Jay I.
