从政治和经济角度观察– 为何政府组屋必须保持高价位(第一部分)

Translated by Robin Chen

由尤金杨和杰里米Koh

国家发展部长马宝山最近证实了许多新加坡人严重的恐惧-尽管未来经济前景依旧不明朗,转售组屋 (resale flats) 的价格不但创下新高,并将扶摇直上

马宝山没有透露任何关政冷却楼市和降温的举措,令人信服的掀开保证组屋处于人人买得起毯底秘密

其实政府很容易大幅降低售价。单靠一年内建造更多的新单位,取消现金超购估值(COVs)的天文数字,并限量永久居民一年内购买组屋单位政府组屋的价格将立下降到人人负担得起和稳定的水平。

虽然租屋价格下降将使许多新加坡人受益.他们不愿意采取适当措施迅速先发制人阻止房地产泡沫的形成,因为这不符合政府政治和经济上的利益。

油价崩溃,导致不稳定的政治产生危机

7间召开的国会,答议员有关建屋局应采取实施限制转售价格上升上限的提问时,国家发展高级政务部长指出,组屋仍然维持在新加坡人负担得起的价位

她说: “’组屋价应体现新加坡的财富,尤其是那些上世纪90年代中期市场高峰阶段买了负资产的人,物价稳步增长就不是一个主意。在过去10吴作栋时代,认为组屋价格上升将为新加坡人创造财富错误观念一直延续至今

人民行动党从来提醒新加坡人,巧妙地利用有争议的办公室纪录掩盖资产价格飘升下人民生活在自置居所的的统治

1995总理吴作栋在接金吉居民时说道

我们你的资产增值了多少?在租屋提升初期,公开市场上低于$ 80,000三房式单位今天我被告知,房屋代理人可出价160 000以上,你的资产在3内已翻了一倍。你们大家做出了正确的选择,强烈支持组屋翻新提升计划并参加表决。

许多新加坡人信任政府接受了组屋价格无情的上升,但没有意识到除非他们移居或降级住进小单位。他们从未理解通货膨胀市场利用租屋单位的价值
如果政府允许组屋的价格下跌甚至只要略低百分之5任何在过去2年以高价买了单位的新加坡人将背上负资产的包袱。

本质上属于功利主义的社会,新加坡人必将对价格的下降导致他们损失,归咎于政府采取市场降温措施。

面临大选,人民行动党这个重要的阶段不能政府允许组屋价格的造成选民不满情绪反弹和动乱,最终失去关键的票。
必须诱导新加坡人相信未来政府组屋的价格,因持续不断上升带来巨大的财富,由于人民行动党和政府的本事

作为大棒升级使用争取选票

随着吴作栋先生14年前在金吉区的讲话,资产产业翻新使得在转售政府组屋价格时增益

20世纪90年代,资产提升长期以来是每一大选的议题,十分方便用来威胁选民投票支持人民行动党。

1997年,总理吴作栋承诺给与静山区居民单位设施的提升终于人民行动党犹若布里装了很多好吃东西选获胜球队。

2006年选举时刻,同样的胡萝卜波东巴西和后港的居民面前来晃去。不幸的是,虽然该区居民像居住在别处新加坡人一样需要支付税收,他们并没有上钩,老化屋提升计划失去诱惑力

这种猪肉桶的政策是行动党推出的独特品牌,近其所能以单位重售的价格引诱选民确保其政治霸权。倘若居民无法从他们出售的组屋获得丰厚的利润将失效。

虽然像烧烤炉的公,游泳池和街头似的足球场看似是重售单位的时不可或缺的设施(后港和波东巴西重售单位的价格与邻近区域的组屋相比组屋提升计划无疑仍然可以成为人民行动党一个有用的心理工具,可以威胁和胁迫选民投自己票。

几乎毕生积蓄都购置政府组屋的新加坡人他们最终作为财产的组屋升值被剥夺,并且大幅度下降,政府解释奇怪的现象新加坡人虽然普遍希望看到国会更多反对的声音,但他们更喜欢听到那些反对之声来自其他地方,而不是他们所在选区

新加坡人一旦高价买了单位将更加受制于人民行动党,因为他们不能承担反对派取胜,而迁怒人民行动党使自己资产可能遭受贬值风险,从而减少政府给与社区租屋资助金的补贴

虽然居民无法明确单位的实际价值,除非它们出售和升级到更昂贵的单位,从而只有增加他们的债务负担,误解继续深扎根于他们的潜意识之中组屋单位的上涨价格会他们创造财富。

作为没有财富和政府资源反对党,纯从以经济因素考虑的新加坡人将讨厌投他们一票。

以往多次的选举分析表明,反对派忠实支持者不论其组屋选区升级与否只占2025%的选民。

尚未决定的中间选民约占3540虽然他们没有预设的政治立场,甚至不能像人民行动党一样,产业升级导致他们投票选举人民行动党的最主要因素。毫无疑问,这解释了为什么反对派要夺超过50%的选票在集选区尤其是艰巨困难

如果他们(选民)政府加以控制的合理的低水平价格买来的组屋升级不会永远成为一个议题。由于他们不会赚钱,无论如何,(这应当是受资助的公共房屋的情况)无关紧要,只要区内和附近区域有足够的设施。

让公民对政治漠和无能为力

一个重要的因素,但往往被忽视的原因组屋保持稳定的高价格,是持公民服从,麻木不仁,政治不感兴趣。

人民行动党是一个专制的党,不容忍任何政治异议或反对其统治也没有受到严格的公共审查得不舒服感觉

当作家林宝音一如既往的多加询问,她立即被总理吴作栋告诫去参与政治或闭嘴

让国人远离政治的唯一方法,就是迫使们为改善物质生活去努力赚取金钱,为了养家糊口,别无选择

政府组屋的价格容许在新加坡人仍然可以负担得起的情况下逐步提唯有如此,他们将一生不得不埋头忠诚为到期的抵偿押权贷款忙碌工作

随着人们为了支付有权租赁自己拥有的溢价政府组屋单位,不得不花费大部分时间赚钱他们无暇对政治产生兴趣。

由于立场不稳定,大多数新加坡人不可能冒险打破饭碗加入反对行列,因为政府是新加坡最大的雇主,甚至有意与政府打交道的私人公司也对此有所顾忌。
政治在新加是坡昂贵的
