Background:
This painting expresses my thoughts and feelings towards the property market. Highly contested during the GE2011, Singapore’s property market was a hot conversation topic among its residents. The people had alluded the rise in property prices to many reasons such as the incompetence of the current government, the influx of foreigners, vast liquidity, and the exploitation by home owners as well as rogue property developers and agents.
While some have profited from investing in the property market, others had to shelve their plans of owning private properties or downsize their dreams. Like many other HDB upgraders, I am saving up for an upgrade to a possibly freehold abode (ironic that it is considered an upgrade when condos are likely to be much smaller). Until then, perhaps I should just be contented with living in block 34.
