[Letter sent to MPs Lee Li Lian and Lina Chiam]
An appeal for a flat in Buangkok Sq / Edgeview
Dear Mdms,
I am writing to you as I have no other alternatives after repeated rejections from HDB to my MP Lawrence Wong’s petitions.
Some of the replies were also extremely rudely worded and I was shocked by Mr Wong’s apathy too.
The crux of the problem lies with my wedlock son and the HDB saying that my blood relation sister does not form a proper family nucleus with myself. They said they could only reconsider if my mother (who lives with my bro in a small flat) passes away. I feel this is cursing us.
I have had to fork out $565 monthly to DBS (as my CPF is depleted) or my flat will be repossessed by them. Panic, I worked overtime for years in a row until I got sick and specialist at NUH advised that I go for operation but I refused as that would mean another tier of added hardships.
I cannot comprehend the problem as my sister and I are not asking for welfare because we can both afford the flat jointly but the government which claims to be listening to the people keeps deliberately making things difficult for us through their agencies.
In view of this untenable situation we are constantly facing, I hope you can kindly make representations on our behalf.
Yours faithfully,
Ms Charmaine Lim
