Home buyers, be realistic
HDB cannot build flats only in mature estates, or only on high floors

THE Housing Board (HDB) cannot meet all expectations of home buyers even though the standard of housing has increased over the years, said National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan.

Addressing Parliament on Monday, he said some buyers seemed to have unrealistic expectations.

Mr Mah, who is 61, recalled his childhood days living in Kim Keat Avenue.

His then three-room HDB flat 'was like a palace' - even though there was just one toilet and bathroom in a flat with eight people.

'It was basic but it was like a palace to us because I had just come from a one-room (flat) with 10 people in Chinatown. So I think that reflects our expectations at that time and how things have changed,' he said.

Although new HDB flats are 'going to be even nicer over time... certain expectations, we cannot meet', he said.

[Stage 5]

This is like the exact same kind of thing my grand ah ma would say when we were young, we just listen.
Wow! Who could imagine if maybe she was born like 30 or 40 years later, she could have been ministerial caliber earning $2-3 million a year! :(

 

[TRWatch]

Will our ministers be realistic as well and get the same pay as the old guards? If not, then dont talk cock here and tell us to accept the yester years standard.

 

[takcheksian]

he came in through the BATHROOM WINDOW...he didn't get voted in!!

 

[hairylee]

I thank Mr Mah Boh Tan for my Castle.

 

[Wedge Antilles]

he came in through the BATHROOM WINDOW...he didn't get voted in!!

And that gave MSK a great idea.

 

[jonlatio]

Didn't he recently also say we shouldn't make comparisons with the past? Cos it's not meaningful?

Also, when the NMP Wiswa asked him about the unhappiness on the ground about the flats prices, he "shrugged off" the idea that people are not happy..

Enough is enough! time for change!

 

[TeeKee]

Is Mah imagining that his 5,000 Sqm bangalow is a HDB flat?

 

[boring]

一副倭寇样！呸！！！

 

[halsey02]

And that gave MSK a great idea.

The GOV seriously do not understand and does not see things from the citizen's perspective. For one very major factor is, flats in the 50-60s cost only few thousands. 70-80s flat cost about $90k slightly below 100k region.
90-currently flat cost about $300k-650k and your Annual pay is still in the range of $40k - 90k +/-

Mr Mah i ask you if you were to buy a multi million property using your own $ will you not want to select the property Thoroughly before signing your cheque?
Most citizen stay in their matrimony house slogging like dog to just pay off their loans. So what is wrong to be picky?

If today we are buying HDB at $50-100k range, of course as a buyer I do not need to think and be choosy cos we can simply just switch and sell off upon 5 years. And get another property.

The reason why HDB (for that matter Mr Mah) can make such sweeping statement that the home buyers are choosy is because we do not have alternative or choices given the limited earning and income bracket. Tell me who do not wish to have a private apartment? Or land property for that matter.

Say if today our public housing is like the private condo developers. With competition and keenest in winning clients to buy their property, I think Singaporeans will be better off. Anyone does not agree?
