A retired man named Mr. Chong recently provided financial assistance to his three sons as they were setting up their own homes. While his eldest son purchased a private condo, his two younger sons opted to purchase executive condos (ECs). According to Mr. Chong, buying an EC at a new launch is a no-brainer and even buying shortly after the five-year MOP (minimum occupation period) is a good deal.
