Statistics on BTO Flats Purchased under Single Singapore Citizen Scheme

13 Assoc Prof Daniel Goh Pei Siong asked the Minister for National Development how many Singaporeans have bought BTO flats under the Single Singapore Citizen Scheme since its inception and how many have gone on to get married, with the figures broken down by gender.

Mr Lawrence Wong: About 20,100 Singaporeans have booked a 2-room or 2-room Flexi flat in HDB's sales exercises under the Single Singapore Citizen Scheme since its inception in July 2013. The proportions of male and female flat buyers are roughly equal.

Amongst these flat buyers, about 440 subsequently registered a marriage in Singapore, of whom about 80% are male.
