Weekender!

It's the weekend, and I could blog about boring issues like this one...

ST, June 12

...HDB landlords? Only in Singapore do we call people who lease public flats (the lessees) from the Housing and Development Board (the HDB, ie, the lessor, ie, THE landlord) and who then sublet out rooms or even the entire flat (yes, it is possible!) "landlords". But then, of course, in Singapore, such public housing leases have a tenure of 99 years -- so the scheme is called "home ownership". Indeed. such leased homes can be "resold" (to the next lessee), often for a good profit. It's good public policy, and it works, so why quibble/split hairs over nomenclature?
