2 rooms does it mean that it has two bed rooms, one common toilet, kitchen & a hall, or just one bed room? If one bed room, the children must be sleeping double deck or in the hall.:p

Yeah 2 room HDB flat only has one bedroom, 3 room flat then have two bedrooms. Recall that in the 90s, Singaporeans have improved living standard and there was no demand for 3 room flats. Now become family of 4 even need to apply for 2 room flat, really regress instead of progress!

Found this interesting website http://teoalida.webs.com/singaporehdbfloorplans.htm you are correct the two rooms flat, have only 1 bedroom. We are going backwards, when the previous generation of HDB dwellers from the 1970's started off with the 2 rooms flat or the 1 room 1 hall flat, bcak then, 3 generations live in them. Now, the $850 man can house 2 generations...

From 1st world to 3rd world, whereas the Pinoys/Pinays & the Ah Tiongs, the Vietnameses, the whatever are living in so-called 5 rooms flat and upwards...3rd world citizen enjoying 1st world luxury...ha ha ha ha
