I selected a flat at CCK, the first & last of the 2 (the other one at Sembawang)D&B flat by HDB architect in 95/96 direct from HDB under the balloting system. The price was at $425k , waited 3 years for it to be built and got my keys only towards end 99. I could not select a flat at a cheaper located as they are ready before 3 years. I need to wait 3 years in order to avoid the penalty of selling a resale, the policy then. I sold my 3 room flat (opp mrt) for a loss in 1999 to take possession of the new flat. I have been staying in this flat for 10 years. Many of my neighbours who had bought the flat direct from HDB then had already cut their loss and sold theirs. The valuation by HDB approved valuers until the last 2 years had been around $325K! I fail to understand why! Considering the money I have spent on renovation and the interest I have paid to service the loan (the interest in the early years was >5% (when CPF interest was >4%), my HDB flat is a negative asset! My other half and I have emptied our CPF to service the flat. We have not much left for old age. Our only consolation is that our flat is spacious. But that also means that we get the least of those govt handouts due to our flat size. There is only feeder service servicing this part of cck. We feel trapped.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086009245893165129.post-46924239301441249772011-04-23T11:24:40.131+08:002011-04-23T11:24:40.131+08:00Why are you guys asking all the sensitive question...Why are you guys asking all the sensitive questions?

Our govt, PAP or LKY ? <br /><br />So does it mean that if he decides to give a better valuation to his close friends' assets being compulsorily acquired, nobody can really question his subjective judgement as long as he comes up with some valid reasons ?<br /><br />Instead of clarifying matters, it seems our Minister is making things more worse and complicated by inviting more questions and further issues to be raised ? <br /><br />Is Mah admitting now that our HDB is actually being runned more like a private developer than a public housing board tasked with providing affordable housing for Singaporeans ?Alan Wongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086009245893165129.post-1233816895341714042011-04-22T08:53:39.574+08:002011-04-22T08:53:39.574+08:00rex comments as follows,

I am not impressed at all.<br />The speech appears to be a collection of motherhood statements and devoid of substance and intellectural thought, creativity and political acumen. I do not understand why this Army boy is being touted by LHL as one with Ministerial potential.<br />On the speech itself, I think it would have been a good one in the context of SAF Day, an army recruitment campaign advert, Join The Army kind of message. <br />Generally, generals should not take over Singapore politics. Singapore generals are just paper generals, never made life-and-death decisions, never fougth a war, never made contact with business world, finance world, real world. In short they will end up as yes-men in the political hierachy if they are further bolstered up, just another Tin Pei Ling, nothing else.<br />This election day, is a no-brainer for me, it is so simple to decide.<br /><br />rexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086009245893165129.post-23458253876025296772011-04-21T21:22:55.091+08:002011-04-21T21:22:55.091+08:00Swee!Swee!Ron Tannoreply@blogger.com
