This is the third time user dr.ishhaq.jay has received a correction direction for his TikTok posts.
for falsely claiming that the government can trace votes and penalise voters based on their votes.
“Expressing opinions and asking questions should be done responsibly. In the case of TikTok user 'dr.ishhaq.jay', he has gone beyond asking questions to make a number of serious falsehoods affecting public interest on multiple occasions.”An article published on the government's fact-checking website Factually elaborated on why dr.ishhaq.jay's claims were false.
“To determine housing affordability, HDB looks at the resident household incomes, and compares them with the range of flat types and selling prices on offer at every BTO launch." "The amount collected from the sale of HDB flats in every financial year is less than the total development cost, which includes land and construction costs, and CPF housing grants disbursed to eligible homebuyers.The article also clarified the false statements made about SLA.
“When state land is sold at fair market value to HDB, there is no increase in the value of the reserves. Neither are the reserves made worse-off or diminished. It is a conversion of one type of asset to another .”According to the article, the Ministry of National Development is aware that the TikTok user dr.ishhaq.jay has published a number of videos on these topics and has issued additional clarifications.
“The CPF system, especially CPF contribution rates, has evolved to take into account housing needs, namely to help Singaporeans own homes. CPF contributions that are channelled to a member’s CPF Ordinary Account can be used for housing,” the article read.
