1. Singapore property prices likely to drop more


Singapore Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said he expects property prices to fall further, the opinion accorded with three days after data showed home values in the city-state dropped for a third consecutive quarter. Following the Singapore government curb speculation, till July 1, 2.4% fell in the six month. From the Monetary Authority of Singapore in June 2013, lenders must consider a borrower's dept when granting mortgages and Home loans should not rise above 60% of borrower's income.

In Korea, similar situation occur that home prices fell down consequently and the price of the lease of a house on a deposit basis shoot up nearly 80% of the home prices. These phenomena will erupt at the end and the mass of people suffer from lose their money because of decrease of home price and interest on a loan. I think that this come from human’s avarice that earn enormous money from home plunge. It will be zero-some game and government should restrict them and built long lease house for poor.
