It is an additional rubbish door on the wall only for the unit on the top floor. I think that door is to access inside the chute in case the chute has problem? I see. I havent seen this door before in friends' top floor flats.Maybe for chute maintenance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the day, happy 就好。 Exactly he is already 66yo, besides he likes the property so much and he can't afford to lose this unit which were perched high top floor, once we reached that age, we care less what other think, just buy and be happy with it, i doubt he likes publicity neither he likes to be teased as being a carrot, at least he is not a cucumber. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't called "controlled media" for no reason. Mark my words. The stage is set for the announcement of cooling measures if not this week then next week. Two new BTO coming up. One in bukit meraj (telok blangah) another one Queenstown (beside Queensway shopping centre).👏 There is another piece of news I read yesterday.

Showster Twincharged April 6, 2021 Share April 6, 2021 Cooling measures only make it that much harder to buy. Now already very hard to buy. Who really benefits if it is so hard to buy? The answer is: landlords! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like "mature vs non mature" https://dollarsandsense.sg/non-mature-vs-mature-hdb-estates/ Haha.... About time cooling measures for the private / condominium property market are announced. Especially so since the price-income ratio for new launch condominium has widened, with higher new launch condominium prices and the first decline in household income seen in a decade. Plus mortage rates are starting to inch up again. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/real-estate/in-a-covid-year-new-condos-price-income-ratio-widens Since those who can afford to buy a new Condominium now must be doing pretty well (income wise), I guess more cooling measures targeting those new launch condominium won't hurt the buyers' bottom line as much. Anyway, more taxes will help the government cover the deficit from last year's Covid budget. So it's a win-win for everyone. As for HDB resale, my gut feel is that after close to a decade of stagnant prices, the government will be letting this hurrah run its course for quite a while longer. All the better to please the electorate. And help those who have been suffering during the recession to cash out and downgrade.
