I know that the mainstream papers are at best - too timid to write negative about the government; at worst, government bootlickers. Still, I generally accept whatever statistics they throw out.
Till some logical fallacies challenged my faith in the accuracy of official propaganda.
1: HDB flats are affordable
2. Foreigners are not the cause of rising COV prices.
It appears that HDB reviewed the median salary range of applicants and found that the prices were affordable. The fallacy is that those who apply, are the very people who can afford them.
HDB then threw out statistics to show that PRs pay the same COV as residents; so they were not to be blamed. However, doesn't their participation increase demand? Wouldn't citizens have to match the amount offered by PRs?
What kind of crap analysts do we have on the government payroll? With that, I'm finally swayed to seek alternative news sources. Take these with a huge pinch of salt though. As a friend pointed out, these are non professionals, so their writings are far from desirable.
