truth be told : for anyone who has lived in private property, it is very unlikely to want to move back into HDB with all the restrictions and hassles.....cannot do this cannot do that etc...and the whole ambiance is different

the real losers are existing HDB flats owners who will see their value drop

we were checking out hdb flats before the announcement cos we find them attractive in terms of benefits, value and location (maybe ). dont think i would have a problem living in hdb cos' had stayed in one for nearly 20 years. hassles and restrictions :? cant think of any at this moment.

will the value drop? i dont think so.

cheers.

good for you.

do be aware that COV will drop as everyone is cautiously waiting and those with time limit to sell will grab any buyer that comes along as the condo key is ready and the bridging loan period is ending ..... there will be people caught in such situation

recently for Queenstown Exec flat, used to call for S$100k COV, it has now moderated

hassles and restrictions : check out the reno requirements, what can be done, cannot be done, false ceiling limits, aircond power consumption limits, platform restriction etc etc....ya, now can do concealed wiring, last time cannot

[LOLMum]

yuks, i remember the unconcealed wiring :shock:


am moving into my small pte apt end of the year but it has UNCONCEALED WIRING..................

eh, not true hor

some private property owner are really poor, inherited the very run-down walk-up apartment that worth even less than a HDB 5 room in Mei Ling St or Bishan...these people where got rich ? can't even make ends meet, and the private property on hand is worthless -- they are also trying to upgrade - to a newer HDB - subsidised by tax payers' money in upgrading, while the private got no upgrading, no conservancy charges rebate, no GST rebate, pay higher property tax, that is why must \"upgrade\" also -- to a HDB flat, how to afford to push up the HDB prices.....think ok !! not everyone in private ppty is as rich as you think !! PRAY hard you will not be one such private ppty owner hor ...... think, don't be of a one track mind, think only one way ..... every one living in private ppty must be rich meh ?

if one inherited the run down walk up apt, then one never even forked out money to buy? then whatever one sells for is 100% pure profit? inheritance mah. not even negative equity.

i 'like' your mentality

say i buy from u cheap cheap lor, say 50% discount to market price can ? still 100% profit to you wat .......(think before your write lah!)[/quote]buy studio apartment lor, if old and need to monetise. so cheap. 50% discount to market price also got leftover.

No need to cast aspersions on whether people think before they write, simply because their thinking differs from yours.

Hi Hi,


Yes, I think no need to tell people to \"think\", \"think\", \"think\" liddat...

I came across some forumners at the \"All about Maids\" thread also sometimes reply with \"think\"! Not nice at all leh?

Sometimes my own thinking failed me when terribly tired....or changes just too much......or just too stressed out.....

Have pity!

It just a healthy discussions brein storming session... :imcool: :imcool:

sorry hor, if the word \"think\" stresses you

i don't frequent the thread on maids after i said my piece and share my experience (lack of horror stories, good to keep it that way), so don't kno about the thing (or \"think\") there

I used it recently here in this thread in order to jolt people to sit up and really think .... because a lot of time people just read and then hit the keyboard and click 'submit'...do they really meant what they say ? or just typing what comes to mind ?.....okay i know there are some who really put thoughts into what they say and argue their point to justify it.

Peace !

[quote=\"verykiasu2010\"]one more piece of ballot paper for citizen for p1 registration is fair and square according to distance, as all citizens are treated the same


all earners paying the same rate of tax for the same amount earned is fair and square

even communist regime does not impose equal magnitude of tax payment regardless of income

to require an existing private ppty owner to sell it upon acquiring an HDB is unnecessarily vindictive...this is not pandering to the fat cats.......this is penalising fellow citizens who need to downgrade living standard

Well, you have twisted my examples around. Nonetheless, it illustrates my point despite the perversion; EQUAL does not always mean FAIR. Were you not asking for EQUALITY?

how to twist your examples of not fair and not equal ? :siao: :siao: :siao:[/quote]Gimme a break. You mangled them beyond recognition......

You just ain't getting it, are you?

Well, its pretty patronising to assume that other people have applied less thought to their posts than you have. There are obviously different 'world views' on issues, and whilst a) I buy your argument on the 'technical unfairness' of this policy, b) I fundamentally disagree with you on the premise and impact.

You keep arguing a), when we have all moved on to b), that is why you think folk aren't getting you, when in fact, it is you who is missing the point. So a little more respect and a little less patronisation please.
