Older BTO applicants justify higher income ceiling

That is as first-time applicants for new Housing and Development Board flats reach a median age of 34, according to todayonline.com.

"There is therefore justification to revise the HDB income ceiling, giving the rising ages of applicants," National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan wrote on his housing blog.

The report also said income ceiling for new HDB flats will, indeed, be raised from the present S$8,000.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
