This guy from mcf ?

I thot the rule is, if you hold private property, you cant even buy HDB whether it is BTO or re-sale.

You must sell away your private property, kana kantung (suspend) for something like 2yrs, then can buy HDB.

 

This Agar Agar Lee make the wrong move. Bought Shoebox unit regret liao then KPKB

 

Yep. Wants best of both worlds

 

Either that or he is agent - his micky mouse units in punggol not moving well.

This fellow should blame himself for anyhow investing in shoe box apartments and now want to regret? I really laughed to myself when seeing shoe box apartments selling like hot cakes in recent yrs...I knew not long after this there would surely be people regretting...people just dun think when they jump onto the bandwagon..

[Watwheels]

Shoebox apartment cannot hold a couple living together meh? This guy his gf is pregnant with quadruplets and are due for birth soon?

Or his mistress got pregnant and she's crying for an apartment?

 

Take one step at a time lah. He wanted to do everything in one go(the greedy b------d), of course will incur monetary losses. How many couples are actually in the situation he described? This guy must be a housing agent who wanted to make a quick buck by purchasing one of the shoebox apartments but end up cannot sell.

 

Orbi good if that's the case.

[Mcf777]

Dont like that la...he AGAR wrongly.

[Jamesc]

If he just got married and its just him and his wife

 

then a shoebox is perfect for a newly wed couple!

 

Just move in lah!

MR CHAN Chun Sing, who will be heading the new Ministry of Social and Family Development, said one of his immediate priorities is to look into how to encourage young Singaporeans to marry early and start families ("Get married and start family early"; last Friday).

 

One policy he should consider reviewing is the HDB-ownership eligibility for private property owners.

 

Some private property owners who bought smaller, shoebox apartments for investment are caught in a bind after the recent cooling measures.

 

They may wish to start families and will need bigger home spaces.

 

However, to be eligible to buy HDB resale flats, they must sell their current private property within six months of the purchase of the HDB unit.

 

They must also pay the seller's stamp duty, introduced in February 2010, which could lead to them incurring significant losses.

 

These regulations may deter some couples who own these tiny private flats from starting families.

 

At the very least, the Government should let Singaporeans who have served national service own HDB resale flats even if they own private property.

While it is understandable that the Government wants to regulate the supply and demand of subsidised housing, it should allow a married couple to buy an HDB resale unit in the open market, irrespective of whether they own private property.

 

This pro-family measure will help arrest Singapore's falling birth rate.

 

Elgar Lee

 

 

Lol.. his private property not fit for human to live?

The guy Agar Lee is a joke. Buy shoebox regret liao then want govt to implement new rule just for him. Blame this rule for him not having kids. Maybe better for him not to have kids, passed down the farkup genes.

 

 

I'm constantly astonished by the kind of "change the rules to suit me or it's your fault if i dun hv kids" letters to the forum.

 

Going by the level of immaturity displayed by such mofos, it's actualli a blessing in disguise better that they don't have any. Can't imagine the kind of c0ckup values such parents impart on their kids.

My sentiments exactly. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when I saw this in the papers this morning. Since so many "experts" out there thinks that such mickey mouse apartments are actually quite livable and not "inhumane", why don't he just live in one?
