What do you think they will come up with next? How about - 'A home that is currently rented can only be sold to either a first home buyer or somebody who is currently in rental accommodation and does not own a home'

Now you are thinking outside the square... perhaps you can sell to anybody you like, but there are incentives to sell to a first home buyer or the like !!

There are always hacks as Chinese buyers who proxy through Singapore will attest or maybe not

You're setting up a strawman argument.
No one in government, nor any political party, suggests anything like that: none of them are daft enough not to realise that if eg a downsizer wants to buy a smaller home, they are selling a larger home that may be suitable for a first home buyer with children.
