This DBSS project only affected a small handful of fussy sinkies. This year is SG50. Most of us would have received goodies from our good government. In terms of vote count, PAP would have gained more votes than they have lost. Part of the credit also has to go to the bumbling WP, who have demonstrated that they cannot run a town council properly.
Mr Khaw said on Tuesday that homeowners can send their feedback to MND and the HDB, and they would see if they could assist homeowners after looking into the cases.
Why Penang Cow don't understand that the HDB is the actual owner of the flats? The so called homeowners are only tenants for 99 years. Cow contracted with the Tiong company to build these flats. The contractor already knew all these issues. U cannot tell me that with so many foremen and company execs inspecting the job site that they did not notice the doors were facing each other and that when opened, no room is left in the corridor? They did not see the corridors were so narrow? Some one bribed BCA to a)approve the stupid plans b) to sign off on all the inspections. Coupled with local big shot Gordon Tang who is one of the owners of the company, BCA quietly take the bribe and curry favour with the billionaire.

Just checked out HDB flat corridors at Lor 3 Toa Payoh Block 91 and also over at Block 85B. Then stopped at Bt Batok Central Block 152 on the way to lunch. Width of corridors of 1.5m seemed to be the majority with many going to 1.6m.
Since DBSS flats are unique with 1.2m corridors, owners can seize upon this as a special feature of their flats. They can say that their unique corridors encourage neighbours to be closer to each other. Especially those with young wives, daughters... see there's always silver linings, if one cares to look.
Alamak, what if there are two wheel chairs travelling in opposite directions ?

If 1000 people sued it becomes a different issue altogether. Every flat has at least 2 signers, all everyone has to do is go and get a lawyer to represent them. You are right, they will not win in the kangaroo court of the PAP. But it will scare the shit out of them when 1000 people show up in court.
BCA and HDB are both under MND. And this is a very serious problem that fire safety requirement is breached. He as the minister in-charge of both authorities should not wait for people to feedback but to step forward to solve the problem!
Like that who knows what other safety requirements that are not visible are also breached, for example the structure requirements of the building, will it collapse after ten years?
Such serious breach of safety should have been flagged out during architect or construction and not found out only when people get keys or even moved in. Now any corrections will involve tearing down the building or move the wall inside to create a bigger corridor since it is safety requirement and means building not safe otherwise.
Besides correction, it also means that the BCA or whoever inspected the fire safety requirement has done an improper job. Khaw should investigate thoroughly whether all the engineers are properly qualified or is there any corruption going on for not just fire saftey but all kinds of building inspection. This should not be like the brompton bike case, no need to wait for some intelligent netizen to investigate and find out there are some related parties.
The examples you mentioned.....
Are the units face to face? this is a major factor
Dis ish 1 rm flat corridor...moi think certainly more den 1.2m...de shoe rack are @ 30cm depth...chiu can at least stack 5 of em...which ish roughly 1.5m wide...
Looks like standard 600mm LED tube light. Can fit slightly more than 2 and half tubes from one wall to another.
I also think 1.5-1.6m.
