3Gen flats should be bigger, occupied by S’poreans only

I refer to the report “S’poreans favour policies that help families live closer together: Survey” (June 5).

I applaud the National Development Ministry for conducting the online survey and holding Housing Conversations on closer families, so young families can give ideas on living with or near their parents. Families who have been unable to do so, for various reasons, should be given help.

The three-generation (3Gen) flats should be bigger. They should be occupied by Singapore citizens only and any resale should be to another local, extended family. Applicants should also not pay any resale levy on their existing flats to take up a new 3Gen flat.
