# YAHOO POLL: Are middle-income Singaporeans being priced out of ECs?

Singapore’s executive condominiums (ECS) are under the spotlight. Rising prices have left middle-income families wondering if ECs are still within reach.

Minister for National Development (MND) Chee Hong Tat announced an EC policy review during the Committee of Supply (COS) debate. The goal? To ensure affordability and fairness.

ECs were designed as a hybrid between public and private housing. They help families who earn too much for HDB flats but can’t afford private condos.
