Hello, 4.5 acres is 180,000 square feet. You draw your own conclusions.

Very like they occupied the land without owning the land - quite common during that time.

Too bad. The whole village should work together to protest.

Don't trust these cleaners.

If they really had the land, it is still silly with side with them

4.5 acres can be used to build thousands of HDB flats, to the benefits to lots of Singaporeans.

It is probably true. I remember living on a farm when I was young and later my grandparents end up in a 4-rm flat and died of boredom.

If it is MBT, you are lucky if you get a 1rm flat

Illegal land squatters in the 70s?

If this story is true, it would be better to take up the offer. At least they still have a roof over their heads.

Better than ending up with nothing.

Yes, all those world-owes-them-a-living people ... move into the land, build a wooden shed then claim they have 4.5 acres of land (which is still unbelievable anyway as it is 160,000 sq feet of land!)
