Which resident doesn’t want to have a President to stay in the same block of HDB flats as them? Housing prices will soar, area will be safe and Yishun will be great again!
But we never had a President who lived in HDB. Just imagine the inconveniences…
1. Parking
Aide-de-camp: Mdm, are you done yet?
Le President: No I need 5 more mins. Is there anything?
Aide-de-camp: errr … nothing Mdm.
