Mdm Arbaah, for example, highlighted the party’s proposal to set aside a special category of two-and-a-half room flats for young couples as part of a “Family Kickstart Programme”.
These flats could be priced affordably by excluding the land cost at market rate, so that young couples can get married early and buy a home, according to PPP’s manifesto.
She also called for more support for couples, including “heavy subsidies” for in-vitro fertilisation for those who needed help conceiving.
“Starting a family shouldn’t feel like climbing Mount Everest, don’t you think so?” asked Mdm Arbaah, who is part of PPP’s Tampines slate.
And flats should be priced based on “real starting salaries” instead of market prices, she argued.
“Speculators, we’ll keep them in check so homes go to the people not portfolios,” she added.
