Public Housing HDB
Someone who had stayed and worked in Australia made a comment that Singapore is "better" than Australia.
It is said that housing is "comparably cheaper" in Singapore. The comparison is made between Sydney and Singapore HDB.
Why Sydney and not other second or third tier cities? Why compare public housing HDB with private apartment or condominium in Sydney?
The definition of "comparable" is actually skewed and slanted. They are really NOT comparable just for one simple reason, can you provide any Strata Titles for HDB which private housing in Australia has?
Many Singaporeans are pretty superficial and ignorant when they tried to make comparisons.
What so important about Strata Titles? It specifically means you own a certain part or percentage of the whole land which your apartment or condo is built on. You can do enbloc or decide on whatever things to be built on this land.
But you can't do that for HDB. because legally and technically you don't own that land and you don't have any Strata Titles.
Someone had tried to apply to do enbloc of their HDB flats before and they went to court and fight it out. Eventually they lost, expectedly. They didn't know they don't really own that land without Strata Titles.
So next time when someone come up to you to make such "comparison", just ask them for their HDB strata titles.
We must make comparable comparisons, remember?

So working in Australia did not make him smarter?

He said, in comparison to Perth FREEHOLD, our HDB would ALWAYS appreciate in value.
He meant ALWAYS. No 99=0 scam.
Even in China, when the lease is up, renewal is the default.

Well, aren’t the MIW happy to see that? But this is the behaviour of unscrupulous people. Unlike the MIW, our neighbour’s government had decided not to scam their citizens by publishing a new statistics to gauge the basic expenditure needed for decent living.
theedgemalaysia.com/node/733981
So, in Johor it will be about RM$1300 per month for a single. Can a SG single survived on S$1300 a month? Don’t BS about exchange rate, no one is earning in SG and spending in MY. This is about earning in your home country and spending it there. For a 4 person household in Kuala Lumpur it is RM6536. In SG, this amount sufficient for a family of 4?
Let’s admit it, our government don’t even dare to publish a similar statistics like our neighbour. Best to keep the daft ones ignorant.
loading...
Our gov says 1 or 2 million dollars a year needed for a family.

His brain went down under if you get what I mean.
It’s a favourable comparison.

Don’t talk c**k lah, GMS. How much you pay for a HDB and how much for private?
Want Strata Title? That’s why I say OPPOS & Sinkies are free riders and GREEDY. Want strata? Pay for it and stop trying to be an opportunist!!!
loading...
IT IS STUPID (@SRFR) COMPARISON JUST LIKE COMPARING ORANGE WITH GRAPEFRUIT!
There are too many issues with the pigeon hole HDB public flat!
The worst to happen is to see zero value at the end of lease when we have to pay for land cost & property tax where the flat sits. HDB get back the land & laugh all the way to the bank!

They are using sinkieland properties as cash cows. Milking it for years.
Only GCB owning politicians love this game.
Those that have only one property as their home do not realize that they cannot win this game.
Feel rich but are actually very poor in terms of spending power.
And…all 99 leasehold WILL DETERIORATE to one big fat ZERO.
90% of homes are leasehold.
It is very much later in the game than you think.

@Ostrich Mode
You are totally right.
Many sinkies have been screwed and yet keep voting for deeper screws from PAPie$.
Not just HDB policies.
Almost all the policies or the policy practices.
Even when $100B was taken out from past sgs’ National Reserves,MORE QUANTUM ASSIGNED TO FTs/PRs who stole our well-paying jobs than the despicable $600 granted to more deserving needy sg-retirees and jobless.
Till now,NO ELECTED MP ,either PAP OR WP,has the moral courage and integrity to ask for details and right reasoning of such policy practice?
We truly and urgently are in need of citizen-centric MPs and TOP PUBLIC SERVANTS.
The current cohort are heartless and exhibits disloyalty.
Sgs First is nothing wrong.
Indeed,sgs last is very,very wrong.
Can any decent MP disagree?
And,why no debate in full in case there is a repeat in future emergencies ,be it economic or pandemic?
WHERE ARE THE TRUE BLUE SG-MPs?
Long-time passing.
Many sgs are already negaticely impacted over the last 20 odd years.
TIME TO VOTE RATIONALLY AND COURAGEOUSLY.
loading...
Dear PM Wong
Too many good and honest sgs have lost their jobs/livelihoods during the LHL era.
These are sgs who gave off their best years to BUILDING OUR NATION such that Sg became so attractive both foreign businesses as well as foreigns looking to work and live here.
The Sg Miracle these sgs helped built with much sacrifices and hard work has actually turned into a $g Debacle for many of them.
Many older ones are looking to downgrade in order to mitigate the escalated COL which is progressively still uptrending.
They hope to be self-sufficient but the HDB POLICY is not helping much.
The long compulsory eligibility waiting time is simply too long and such downgraders have to pay expensive rents while being forced to wait.
I am sure MND can relook at the HDB POLICY that is being most unfairly applied to such elderly sgs who are seeking to buy their HDB for the very first time.
How to PLAN FOR RETIREMENT if govt policies are actually hindering instead of furnishing assistance?
Dear PM Wong,please do something.
Maybe consider to start building AFFO4DABLE HDB RETIREMENT HOMES IN DEDICATED OUTSKIRT SITES for older sgs now.
Such villages will help alleviate demand ccompetition from older sgs with the young sgs.
They will also help in easing traffic flows in various ways from public spaces to even polyclinics/hospitals.
Hope you sincerely take a good look into my humble suggestion.

Govt should consider the limited land area & convert more road spaces to consider building as you suggest dedicated affordable retirement homes for retirees & discourage car ownership to help the senior citizens.
