The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) revealed that the number of permanent residents granted approval to buy landed homes on mainland Singapore has dropped sharply since 2011, following the tightening of eligibility criteria.
Since then married PR couples with children who are also PRs made up two-thirds of approved applicants. SLA also added that Singaporean-PR couples' applications are generally regarded favourably to keep them rooted to the country.
