Think, 80% do not own HDB pigeon holes !

So far none of us have seen to the end of 99 years lease. So far 99-yr lease private
properties will get renewal, be it en bloc or otherwise. As for HDB, we don't think the flats
can last 99 years. Up to the most 40 years you will be relocated to a new flats, thus
renewing another 99 years one. The old estate will build newer and modern flats just like
Pinnacle. This trend will go on, just like we human beings life will go on.

it's fucking well understood that many dwellings don't last 99 years in a tropical climate. duh.

however, there's a huge gap in credibility by blatantly touting it "home ownership" when it is actually leaseholding. call a spade a spade, and i'll be more kind to you bunch of moronic hdb sweet-talkers.

People Pay And Pay for years to pay off the HDB loans and debts and end up their house is still under the property of the Govt
Pay And Pay promised to upgrade lifts and still we people Pay And Pay for the upgrades.
Whatever the Pees promised upgrading projects in GE, in the end we people still need to Pay And Pay

why are you whining so much, the motto of the govt had always been

:there's no free lunch, even if there's a free lunch you still have to bring your own plates and utensils.stop whinning and get back to work inorder to get your lunch.

The govt could just leave the flats alone and dont do anything about it and the people could opt not to upgrade the flats. the flats would become just like those in malaysia ending up as slums. take a look at those flats near the johore custom behind the caltex petrol station opp city square. Do you want our flats to look like those.

yeah hdb = long term LEASE aka rent. not OWNERSHIP. no land titles or deeds to HDB

If you think you own a HDB flat, ask the town council.

You are merely a leaseholder!

when you have paid up the value of the HDB flat in 20 years, you have already paid up twice the amount of the buying price.

how dude? any suggestion how to tackle this problem or what hdb can do to help us?
