Happily1986 5th Gear August 4, 2010 Share August 4, 2010 i see more and more depressing threads nowadays. it makes me demoralised because it leads me to think that in the future, my lot as a singaporean is screwed. surely pay till terng kor. singapore is becoming a virtual disneyland. the heartland area is simply the areas marked as "for staff only" in the eyes of the foreigners. and if i continue to throw my lot in this hopeless charade, i will just end being a cog or a wheel in this virtual sweatshop. sigh.

Galantspeedz Turbocharged August 4, 2010 Share August 4, 2010 (edited) I don't see anything wrong with a subjective bidding system...go one further, govt could give a desired max selling point, and then evaluate what is the "best" bid, which of course is going to include some subjective factors. But what is wrong with having subjective factors? Yes its easy to kelong, but also takes expertise...you don't trust the govt to make cleand and honest decisions? every day, all around the world all sorts of subjective decisions are made...whjy can't HDB be trusted to make a subjective evaluation? because when something is subjective, most likely it can be manipulated which also means can kelong.... and after all these incidents... you wanna trust HDB with a subjective evaluation? to add on: i trust the govt to be clean and honest... but not the underlings.... and the problem with a desired max selling point is.. if the company bid too low and is not able to sustain.. you will see either alot of uncompleted or cost cutting buildings.... try our neighbours for comparsions anyway the construction industry is not as easy as you think...

Darryn Turbocharged August 4, 2010 Share August 4, 2010 because when something is subjective, most likely it can be manipulated which also means can kelong.... and after all these incidents... you wanna trust HDB with a subjective evaluation? I dun see why cannot trust them...hire the appropriate people, set out the criteria...then judge. Why are you so scared of offering an opinion? The world won't crumble if you are wrong. Perhaps another possibility would be for govt to strictly control new HDB price, at (for example, all figures pulled from backside) 3 room = per capita GDP x 80 4 room = per capita GDP x 105 5 room = p[er capita GDP x 130 This would be for purchase from HDB, then what about resale you ask? Simple, peg resale price to original purchase price + inflation. So in real terms people dun lose money. There will be some shenangins going on around the margins, however this would be a more genuine PUBLIC housing policy. Of course, if you say that HDB not really public housing then all sorts of different questions can be asked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if you say that HDB not really public housing then all sorts of different questions can be asked i tot i offered my opinion already... peg the resale price to new flats? that is what is happening now.... but it works slightly differently, it is known as valuation.... and what happened? people stared paying above valuation.. that is why you got cash over valutaion (COV). you will say.. cap the selling price.... so what happened? there will still be COV but under table...... isn't that worse? so now new flats are pegged to resale flats instead.... actually why is the price skyrocketing.. is because of the valuers if you ask me.... if you notice.. valuation flat A is 200k, buyer pays 220k (with 20k COV thus now flat B, the neighbour flat is worth 220k and another buyer pays 240k (with 20k COV).. that is why prices keep soaring.. want to blame... blame the sellers for ask for COV and buyers paying the COV..... a good example will be my area... i bought my flat at 376k June last yr... this yr Apr someone just paid 454k for my neighbour's place.... 2 doors away.. so whose fault for the 454k price.... and FYI, the seller was asking for 450k already when i was viewing flats June last year..
