HDB flat sizes not shrinking: Khaw Boon Wan [Take Poll]

[Without_a_car]

Actually i do a research on this before. HDB size now for 3/4room are the same size as 30 years ago. 15 years ago, was the only time where 4 room is big.

 

5 room had really shrink though. very much.

 

 

technically KBW is not wrong

 

70s 4 room 92 sqm

80s 4 room 103 sqm

90s 4 room 115 sqm (early 90s;post 98 start building 90 sqm 4 room)

00s 4 room 90 sqm

00s 4 room 90 sqm

 

i dont mind them reverting to 70s size. but i only ask for them to bring back a proper 5 room and exec apartment.

now i if i upgrade from 4 room to 5 room is actually a downgrade in living space.

whoever said that HDB sizes did not shrink compared to those built in the 90s or earlier is telling a plain lie and deserved to be shot in the head.

he might say it's good for you can squeeze and enjoy family tight kinship in a 5 room pigeon hole with 7 pax,unlike him who lived in a few millions bungalow and feel empty even with 7 pax.

next he will say it's good for you that you can get squeeze like sardine on mrt and buses and get to enjoy the sinkie spirit of squeezing when on way to work,while he feels lonely sitting at the backseat of his e class or 5 series.

life is good isn't it.
