[QUOTE]SINGAPORE - President-elect Halimah Yacob will not only become Singapore's first woman president, but she will also be the first to live in a Housing Board flat during her term.Shortly after being declared the winner in a walkover, she told reporters that she had no plans to move out of her family home in Yishun .
"I'm still staying in Yishun," said Madam Halimah Yacob, 63, when asked where she would be living after becoming president.
"It is a very nice, comfortable place and I have been living there for many years," she added.
Her husband, Mr Mohamed Abdullah Alhabshee, 63, quipped that there was no need to move, as the house was "as huge as a penthouse".
The jumbo flat is made up of a four-room and a five-room flat, and is where Madam Halimah has lived with her family for over 30 years.

Madam Halimah and her husband have two sons and three daughters, aged 26 to 35.
Asked about security arrangements, Madam Halimah said: "I will leave it to the security department. I think they know how to secure the area."[/QUOTE]

I don't think there are any head of states that I know that lives in a public apartment

And living there, while you get free security, its gonna suck when you have traffic police constantly block traffic for her to go in and out.
