U are stupid for believing what the govt says. U must be a brainless PAP cocksucker. U don't even understand what the word Leasehold means. I have bought and sold more properties then you will ever do in 3 lifetimes. The govt lies to you all the time. And you believe them. hahahhahahaha. Let me give u an education and hope that your stupidity can be overcome.
3 main property types in Singapore.
1) Freehold - This means that you HOLD ownership of the property FREE of any encumbrances.
2) Leasehold - This means that you HOLD ownership of the property but there is an encumbrance on the property, which is the LEASE on the land. Whether it's for 99 years or 999 or 60 etc.
3) HDB 99 Lease - U do not own anything, you are a long term 99 year tenant paying for your 99 year lease term upfront. The main right you have is to enjoy the use of flat for 99 years. If someone wants your flat, you can assign him the use of the flat for money. This is commonly mistakenly called "selling"your flat, but it's incorrect because you cannot sell something you don't own. You are essentially subletting your flat to him. That is why the landlord HDB must approve this process first, because they are the landlord.
Was that too mentally difficult for you to understand? U see the difference between a leasehold and a HDB 99 years lease. They are not same thing, u fucking retard.
