Malmö is cheaper because you get to "live" in Malmö, which I could never recommend to anyone, especially jewish or gay.
Yeah but at least the UK got a rental market, think about it.
Stockholms market is scattered and hard to come by without connections or help. But not only that, most people who rent out their apartments in Sweden will either go through the Co-op board and only get a year, or do it under the table, both situations adds a lot of insecurity to the tenant.
In Singapore, there is a broad market from super cheap and shitty, to super expensive and amazing.
Having a broad, free market helps consumers a lot more than having it closed down for a queue-system.
Sure, I can get a closet space with no air condition and no kitchen for a 1/5, or I can pay 3/5 and get a condo, at least there is a choice.
I can't speak for rest of Scandinavia, but I know in Stockholm that choice doesn't exist. You're forced to buy.
