Haven't married thinking of how many rooms he need to start a family. He shud have blamed his parents for having too many kids though. Since he still single, he needs privacy to view porn on his PC? No enuff privacy to PCC I guess. Feb 25, 2011 Add more bedrooms to HDB flats for more privacy AS THE Government thinks of schemes and bonuses to help boost Singapore's low birth rate, it should address a pressing need for individual privacy and update the design of Housing Board flats. I live in a unit with three bedrooms. My sister has her own room and I share one room with my brother, while my parents have their own bedroom. This was never a problem when we were young, but once we reached our teens, our home became more cramped, especially with our need for more privacy. Most HDB flats - even five-room and executive - have only three bedrooms - one for the parents, and two for the children. If a family unit comprises grandparents as well, then that leaves only one room for the children. With such limited rooms, why would a family want to have more children only to squeeze them all into one room? Future HDB flats should provide more but slightly smaller rooms for children - for example, four bedrooms instead of the standard three. This would offer more space and privacy for each child to grow up and eliminate some of the worry of couples planning to have children. Mark Woon
