Scion Turbocharged December 13, 2011 Share December 13, 2011 in the current market, the possibility of someone forking out $1.55m to buy a flat at Shunfu is as likely as Norwich winning the PL title this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabbie Clutched December 13, 2011 Share December 13, 2011 hmm.. i got a noob Q. Since its privatized, why there's a valuation... and why required?? Same for private properties, there is always an indicative valuation done for agent to talk c--k with you, and sabbie being a trained but unlicensed valuer can tell you it's often an art more than a science Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acemundo Supercharged December 13, 2011 Share December 13, 2011 He will tell you. he is only interested in affordable BTO for first timer. i find the HDB and its BTO system flawed. yesterday just got one friend got the chance to go pick his clementi bto flat, but procrastinating because the price and monthly instalment is overstretching him. 2 weeks ago, another friend went and also passed the chance to pick for the same reason. myself would have no issue supporting the same flat, but denied the chance due to the plethora of rules for HDB flats. shouldn't pricier hdb flat be open to people who are more able to afford it?

Not only they screw themselve up, they also screw those who can afford. for the one in bold. knowing how screw up Singaporean are, if u do that, ppl will kpkb and say been discriminated. so the best thing is keep things open.

LKY was never bashful about his approach not being pleasing to people. so i don't see what's wrong with saying that expensive flats can be open to people who can afford it financially without depriving the lower income people. opening up to a bigger group to ballot doesn't mean the majority of people who are lower income are deprived. it all depends on how the administrators put the message across to people a lot of people just tikum tikum and decide only when they are given the chance. the way i see it, is no cost to them but waste of public servant's time doing all these paperwork for people that changed their mind. that's why i say open it up to bigger group including people with slightly higher income so that there aren't endless rounds of invitation to select only for people to back out of it. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
