as aaarghhh said, this is an urban legend. certainly didn't happen in Singapore.

When PCs first started reaching the mass market, our favorite joke was: Q. What's the difference between a Used car Salesman and a PC Salesman ? A. A Used Car Salesman knows when he's lying.

Don't think so. L Bernum had his very D&G views but presented them without too much personal abuse. Sounds more like, hmm, I forget his name. Two Up or something.

Not at all. I have the same thoughts towards people looking for loopholes in FHOG. On NG, I'm a strong believer that tax consessions should only be offset when the investment starts to show a profit.

Not sure I'd want my tax money being used to bail out people who over extended themselves.

Wont be that big a hit on the budget. At the quantities they are looking at they will score them for under $1k each with what should be a 2 to 3 year lifespan.

No, the regulations are no longer in place. The banking industry is now deregulated. Other examples of the regulations were, for example, you needed 20% deposit before you could get a mortgage. Investment loan rates were higher than PPOR rates. And I'm sure there are others that were in...
