Scb11980 1st Gear November 11, 2011 Share November 11, 2011 why is private company running rental flats in HDB we read in the papers, those desparate cannot find rental flat but this family can (i guess because they are not economic risk) through a private company managing the flats A Singaporean couple who were kicked out of the home of their eldest son after an argument moved into a three-room rental flat in Taman Jurong on Wednesday. Foo Thin Tak, 62, his wife Tham Swee Kheng, 55 and their 27-year-old youngest son moved into their new home after spending two nights at McDonald ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearoil 1st Gear November 11, 2011 Share November 11, 2011 I noticed you are constantly posting topics purposely to put those running Sinkland in a BAD light.. Your post has got nothing to do with your subject content of a squabbling family... In order to highlight the shortcoming of those running the place.. One has to be unbiased and fair in putting forth issues to be discussed in a public forum and not go around just TAKING A BIG STICK TO WHACK AT ANYTHING LIKE A MAD MAN!

Jasonjst 3rd Gear November 11, 2011 Share November 11, 2011 On the side line about strange practice by HDB Just last week we receive a letter / plan for lifts upgrading at our estate . It suppose to be 30K per household , we only need to pay 3K . But my estate ( around 20yrs old ) already got lift to every flr liao , only the last flr does not have lift . I understand it is a good thing for LUP in estate which do not have lift access to every flr . Here we think the money can be spent on other thing like landscaping the estate or built a extra utility room . Why we need to upgrade our relatively nice Fujisu Lift to some china made lift ? Now I have a hard time deciding to vote for it or not , headache . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byond 1st Gear November 11, 2011 Share November 11, 2011 i believe in your case, most likely the top floor will vote in favour of it the other pple in your block will most likely not vote for it as it does not benefit them in any ways... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, HDB will only ask the top floor residents to vote, to decide whether to upgrade. About 10yrs ago, my previous place at Lor Ah Soo, the lift landing is at our floor, so we do not need to pay for upgrading and therefore not required to vote. So, it all depend on how HDB want the voting result to be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only these 20% are allowed to vote to decide the fate of 100%. The 80% does not have a say. Now, the best thing is they will build a lift to serve every floor but dismantle one of the existing lift. And they call this "upgrading" To 80%, there is zero benefit, except for noise and dust. In the end, there's still only 2 lifts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonTan 2nd Gear November 11, 2011 Share November 11, 2011 Just ask the top floor neighbors....who wants the lift. Those who wants the lift will switch units with the lower floors units who don't mind the climb up. Assuming there are 50 units in this particular block. Total subsidies the gov is willing to pay is $27,000 x 50 =$1,350,000. Then tell gov to give the subsidies instead to the lower floor units who are willing to change with the top floor units. Win win situation for the neighbors!!! On the side line about strange practice by HDB Just last week we receive a letter / plan for lifts upgrading at our estate .
