D different between a FH Landed prop. & a FH condo. is FH landed prop. own that piece of land whereas FH condo. merely share the land with tenants be it very exclusive 35 tenants or mass market with 7 or 8 tower blks 2000 tenants. In sg, 2 own a FH prop. is not something great, but to own a piece of land is not any Tom, Dick or Harry can do it. Only FH "Landed" prop. owner can pronunce that.

With only 700sqkm of land in sg & our population hv grown fr 4.68M to 4.84M d yr.Our target is 2 achieve 6.5M in 2015. Govt. hv acquire FH land & put thru land sales as 99LH. 85% of s'porean stay in HDB, 12% stay in condo/pte apt & only a mere of 3% top-notch people stay in landed prop. comprise of 1.5% in FH, 1% in 999LH & 0.5% 99LH, so in 2-3yrs after IR is opened, u know d answer.

In sg, although govt put across every s'porean should b given a chance 2 own a landed prop. But what say & done is totally different. For eg, every s'porean dream is 2 own a GCB. A GCB is a good class bungalow of not more than 2-Sty & measure 1400sqm(15069sqft) or more & only in D9, D10 or D11. Average sp is S$1000psf during economic downturn, i wonder how many s'porean can afford
