Anybody applying ? Which area? Just want to check what is the buying sentiment on the ground. Or is it better to buy resale given the rather high price of the new balance flat, plus the resale levy. The attraction is of cos the short waiting time and also is available in mature estate.

yip • 1 hour 5 minutes agoReport Abuse excuse me . PR and Singaporean are paying the same % of CPF contribution. Work here als o spending here . No different ....their hard earn money too. What's wrong if they take their own hard earn money when leaving. Dont tell me you not going to take your money if you want to leave Singapore ??? What is the different when Singaporean forgo their citizenship , sell the hse and take the money to migrate to elsewhere .... Not the same ?? PR are not taking someone else money but their own saving money OK !!..... AyeChan • 3 hours agoReport Abuse Goddamnit!!! PRs can only buy a resale flat with some restrictions... which means it's not your Gov who's giving HDB to PRs... it's you guys making profit out of homeless people who are contributing to your society. FYI, I'm living in a rented place (3NG) which cost me SGD2000 a month, $24K a yr and I paid almost $200K over 9yrs, in Cash (non-CPF). Do I own an HDB!? Hell, NO... I'm not even eligible. So what was your complaint again!? Yah • 15 hours agoReport Abuse Singapore belongs to everyone. Do not be selfish. Sinkies Pls do not behave like Racial Supremist denying other groups of a fair return that they duly deserved. Ask yourself, what if you are a PR instead of being a Sinkie? Would you want to be able to sell your HDB flat and take the earnings, retrieve your CPF entirely and go back to your home country? Would you, or won't you want to be able to? Stop being a hypocrite and start living like a real human being. Have a heart on those PRs and Foreigners, you Sinkies !!! Tan • 14 hours agoReport Abuse Writer Jeff Cuellar and Yahoo Singapore, stop all this propaganda of trying to create uneasiness and unfairness to Singaporeans. Your article will create more discrimination and society bias among Singaporeans. You are trying to create social disharmony by writing an article directing at PRs. It may seem PRs tend to enjoy certain benefits more than Singaporeans. But the truth is, you report the surface information only. Your article didn't mentioned the details such as PR pay much higher interest rates to buy HDB compared to Singaporeans; and the fact that they can only buy resale units means at the end of 30 year loan, PR pays hundreds of thousands of dollars more than what a Singaporean pay just to own a flat. If you did your homework well, you will realize how much sky rocket price PRs need to pay just to purchase a HDB flat. However, one thing I am very sure about the author of this article. The author is targeting PRs and cultivating a sense of injustice among Singaporeans. And if you ever realize, just by writing such a report, there may be more Singaporeans targeting PRs for every small unhappiness they have. But to the PRs, it is hundreds of thousands of lives you are affecting which includes their families too. Spare a thought to others when you write such an article because your article can lead to devastating consequences. If the end who emerge as victors? The answer is NO ONE. -

Fandi Ahmad is looking for HDB flat AsiaOne Sun, Mar 06, 2011 In a 1991 interview, Singapore's favourite football icon, Fandi Ahmad, told The New Paper, 'I have enough money. Lots of money. In two years' time, I would have made enough to last the rest of my lifetime.' He was the country's first millionaire sportsman when he turned 30 in 1993. Now, however, life has dealt him a cruel twist after a decade of setbacks and he is looking for a Housing Board flat in the Yishun vicinity, near his mother's. The 48-year-old used to share a terrace house with his wife, Wendy Jacobs, and his five children. Fandi informed The Sunday Times that his wife is still recovering from a fall in the couple's Jakarta home two years ago. She had suffered temporary memory loss and was bedridden for almost a month. Although she still suffers the occasional mild seizure, she is improving, said Fandi. He told The Straits Times: 'She's getting a lot of rest at home and is much better than before, so we're all happy.' The ex-Lion, however, is on his guard when quizzed about other problems that he has faced recently. 'What's past is past, I can't do anything about it,' he stressed, adding that the constant query on these subjects is 'sickening'. A few failed businesses in the past had left him in so much debt that two parties sued in June 2006 to recover $230,000 in 'friendly loans', which were allegedly taken when Fandi started a used-car dealership in 1999. Fandi then pulled out of the partnership two years later but was still saddled with the debt of his business partners, who had been declared bankrupt. He was their guarantor. Developing young talent His focus has now turned towards helping develop young talent through his academy, which he will launch on Saturday. He is also watching over the growing maturity of his two sons in football - Irfan, 14, and Ikhsan, 12. Despite impressing major European clubs such as AC Milan and Chelsea in trials and making plans for a training stint with Italian Serie B side Vicenza earlier this year, visa issues had forced the family to put that idea on hold. Fandi is also aware that the public will be expecting his sons to fill in the shoes that he has vacated. 'It's not easy for them,' he noted. 'People will expect a lot and scrutinise them. That's why I don't put too much pressure on them. 'I'll just let them enjoy the game while they can and, if they can play good football, that would be good.' He does, however, harbour the hope that at least one of his sons will become a Lion. 'My father (Ahmad Wartam) and uncle (the late Abu Sujak) both played for Singapore. It would be good if they could carry on that tradition,' he said. Good friend and former national teammate Rafi Ali pointed out: 'During his time, everything he touched turned to gold. Everybody made money because of him - people paid to watch him play, for his endorsement, the association also used him for advertisements. 'Still, he's as cheerful as ever. He's not the kind of person who will talk about what is happening in his life. 'It's really very sad that a legend is going through this.'

This guy tua ki liao.....sure kana fine very heavy. 10 years back, that person who got caught is my friend brother....also kana fine heavily by the AVA. ============================================ SINGAPORE - The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) seized over 30 wild animals from an individual living in an HDB flat on June 3, its largest inland seizure of wildlife since 2002. The seized animals include highly endangered and threatened species like the slow loris, marmoset, Indian star tortoise and ball python. Other animals seized include three black-tailed prairie dogs, two sailfin dragons and five ornate horned frogs These animals are not allowed to be kept as pets in Singapore. The seized animals have been sent to the Wildlife Reserves Singapore for proper care and custody. A man is currently assisting AVA in the investigations. In Singapore, a permit is required for any import and export/re-export of animals. In addition, as Singapore is a signatory to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), it is an offence to be in possession or to trade in any illegally imported or acquired CITES species. If found guilty, the offender shall be liable, on conviction, to a maximum fine of $50,000 per specimen (not to exceed an aggregate of $500,000) and/or jail term of up to 2 years. AVA would like to remind the public not to import or keep wild animals as pets as demand for such animals would fuel illegal wildlife trade. Also, wild animals are not suitable pets as some may transmit zoonotic diseases to humans and can be a public safety risk if mishandled or if they escape into our dense urban environment. Should members of the public have information on illegal wildlife activities, please contact AVA at 6325 7625 to make a report immediately. All information shared with AVA will be kept strictly confidential.

I am looking to take over a HDB shop from someone but I am not familiar with the process. Assignment fee - is this declared to HDB in the transfer of tenancy ? The current tenant is asking for 50% of the assignment up front as a deposit - is that reasonable ? What if the transfer fails to go thru ? Any property guru out there to advise ?

There could finally be some relief for residents and shopkeepers near the Block 17 Upper Boon Keng Road Market and Food Centre who have been plagued by the traffic congestion in the area. In response to TODAY's queries, a spokesperson from the Housing and Development Board (HDB), which manages the two car parks surrounding the market and food centre, said it would be exploring with the relevant agencies the possibility of creating another access point to ease the congestion. It is also considering installing a display panel to show the number of vacant lots available at the various areas within the surface car park and the multi-storey car park, to help motorists better utilise parking lots and reduce unnecessary vehicular movement. The display panel is not a standard feature and is currently installed at only four other HDB car parks. "Meanwhile, as an interim measure, we are working with the (Electronic Parking System) service provider to deploy their staff to regulate the traffic condition during lunchtime," the HDB spokesperson said. The estate, which is surrounded by offices and factories, experiences strong demand for parking and heavy traffic, particularly during lunchtime on weekdays. It has only one lane each for motorists entering and exiting and a single access EPS gantry between Block 11 and Block 18. Lorries and vans delivering goods during that period also contribute to the bottleneck. Residents and patrons of the food centre TODAY spoke to said it can take up to 15 minutes to get out of the car park. A resident of 16 years in the estate, who wished to be known as Richard, was also concerned about emergency services gaining access into the estate. He said: "What happens if someone is sick or if there is a fire? There are a lot of elderly people living here and an ambulance can't be stuck for more than 10 minutes just trying to get out of a car park." The HDB spokesperson said it was aware of the situation and that it has also received various suggestions from residents to help ease traffic congestion. "However, these suggestions need careful consideration and may not all be feasible for implementation. For instance, some residents have suggested widening the road leading to the EPS gantry to ease the traffic bottleneck. However, based on our assessment, there are technical and site constraints which prevent us from doing so." Another suggestion was to implement a flat rate for parking or to raise the barrier and offer free parking during peak periods but such a move could cause "further congestion" as it encourages motorists to park their cars for longer periods, the spokesperson said. "The EPS system, which charges motorists by per minute parking, is more effective in increasing the turnover of vehicles to minimise the congestion within the car parks." In 2009, the EPS was implemented at the two car parks to "better regulate" short-term parking demand from visitors

A game changer?? HDB policy to drag private pries?

First it was the Land Transport Authority. Now the Housing Board is installing closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to deter illegal parking. It plans to put them up near service roads and loading bays around HDB carparks in areas including Bedok, Toa Payoh and Sengkang. Motorists parking illegally will face fines ranging from $25 to $200, depending on vehicle type. An HDB spokesman told The Straits Times the cameras will be installed in 55 areas from the second quarter of this year. Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/...arking-20130404
