此轮降温措施主要是针对外国买家和公司，即非个人投资者与外国买家购买任何住宅时，都必须缴付比之前高出多倍的买方印花税。除了继续支付原有的3%的印花税以外，买家还必 须缴付10%的额外买方印花税。
Uploaded by kissbangclap on Dec 8, 2011 The Singapore property market is bracing for a slowdown, with experts predicting a steep drop in transaction volume and prices over the next few months.
This comes after tougher residential property measures kicked in on Thursday, hours after they were announced on Wednesday night.
Under the new measures, foreigners and companies must pay an additional stamp duty of 10 percent of the value of residential property purchases in Singapore.
Permanent residents who buy a second property and citizens who buy three or more properties will pay an extra 3 percent.
The new stamp duty is on top of the prevailing fees of between one and three per cent.
Property buyers hit hardest by the new measure would be foreigners like Norman Lu.
The 34-year-old healthcare consultant arrived in Singapore a year ago to work in a multinational company.
Mr Lu is renting a place, but in the last three months he has been looking to buy a condominium in Paya Lebar or Braddell. However the new rules have put a stop to such plans.
He said: “We are very disappointed. Even though we are foreigners, we have been working in Singapore for a year, we also contribute to this country. So as a foreigner, we feel that the government does not welcome us.”
Mr Lu said he was on the verge of closing a deal, but will need to evaluate his options now.
He said: “(There is) 80 per cent (chance that) I will not buy now. I will wait for one year, then I can get PR (permanent resident status) then I will buy a private condo or buy an HDB flat.”
His other options include leaving Singapore, “because I can easily find another job opportunity in another country” and “if property owners drop the price by 10 to 15 per cent, then I will buy a condo immediately because I want to stay in my own property.”
这个政策严重伤害了外国买家的感情啊。等下大家该都跑去别的国家工作了
对啊，这年头哪里不能去
新加坡一年四季都是夏天，本来就是个鸡肋，这下更加不用考虑了
我喜欢这里一年四季都是夏天，因为可以穿裙子。国内的冬天冷死了，我鼻子过敏，我儿子皮肤开口。我们基本上冬天不回国。
我和米版一样，也喜欢新加坡一年四季都是夏天。
不歪楼，我觉得新政策是让很多外国买家感情上一时接受不了吧。不过对真正有钱没地方invest的外国买家感觉影响不大，主要是在新加坡工作的EP们，可能会hold till they get PR。。。。
新加坡政策随时随地都在变，经不起风吹草动。谁知道会不会继续来个经济上的衰退？
特别政策上常常朝令夕改，也只有这儿才会划分出pr和公民待遇上的巨大差别！
虽然通过个人奋斗，我们不在乎HDB政策上的改动，但是对于刚刚成家的pr, 经济上是很紧张的，在新加坡生活很不容易。特别是我们第一代pr，赤手空拳来到新加坡，没有任何家人朋友依靠和帮助，唯一拥有的是自己的勤劳和勇敢！
如果政府拉开pr和公民的待遇差别，这点可以理解，如果在人权上粗暴干涉，这点会让很多优秀的pr产生抵抗情绪，会造成归国潮！
国内给我开的工资远远大于新加坡，我仔细想了想，我没有接受offer，我拿新加坡政府奖学金读书的，饮水思源，我至少要贡献我们最有创造力的和带来社会回馈的10年之后，再来做别的打算！
pr合法出租房子这是pr的人权，不是每个pr能有父母经济上的帮助，不是每个pr在开头工作那几年就能有很高的薪水。有些pr出租自己的房间，牺牲隐私来换取一些生活费用，这是不过分的事情。
