Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for National Development in the last three years, how many Singaporeans have purchased after subsidy (i) 2-room BTO flats for less than $20,000 and $40,000 respectively (ii) 3-room BTO flats for less than $100,000 and $120,000 respectively and (iii) 4-room BTO flats for less than $250,000.

Between 2012 and 2014, a total of:

These prices were after subsidies given to eligible households which could enjoy up to $40,000 in Additional Central Provident Fund (CPF) Housing Grant and $20,000 in Special CPF Housing Grant.
