Standing: Ms Chan Wai Lin, 55, Mr V. Sreetharan, 74, and Ms Jacqui Oehlers, 63. Sitting, from left: Mrs Lam Lee Yin, 59, Mrs Maureen Ooi, 57, Mrs Rita Wee, 63, Ms Amy Tan, 64, Mrs May Chan, 65, Ms Kandha Ruby, 64, Dr Ambika Dharan, 64, , Ms Mabel Wee, 64, Dr Grace Varughese, 70, Ms Jessie Yeo, 70, and Ms Judy Yeo, 68. A group of 100 seniors led by retired Principal Mabel Wee and retired general practitioner Dr Ambika Dharan have been lobbying the government to get a retirement village.


Singapore: For a long time some of Singapore's ageing baby boomers have said what Singapore needs are retirement villages like the ones you see in developed countries. They provide housing as well as a range of amenities for older people, who get to live in a purpose-built community of their own.

Now it is going to happen, with a pilot project coming up in Jalan Jurong Kechil. Property developer World Class Land, a subsidiary of the Aspial jewellery group, is building a retirement village on a plot roughly the size of 1 1/2 football fields.

It won a tender last November by offering close to $75 million for the 60-year leasehold land. TDetails about the number and size of units, and the price, are still being worked out and will be announced later, a spokesman for the company said.

There's a lot of money to be made from such projects. But all Zhek Ark (wicked) money. In short, cheat old people to sell hdb pigeonhole and rent from retirement village instead. Par Kat with insurance companies and healthcare providers, suck every single available cent from old people.

Huat Arh!

Retiremen village is a scheme to con sinkie money.

when you are young, PAP con your money via:
1) ERP
2) COE
3) HDB
4) Education fee

2) enbloc your HDB with cheap buying price
3) sell you expensive retirement village

All the healthcare and even funeral service providers got 1 hand or maybe 2 hands in such project. Our pappies garberment indeed very smart to outsource to private company and in the process, everyone huat arh! except the old people no huat.

Sometimes I wonder why bother?? Some HDB estates are already becoming by default 'retirement villages'!!

What is wrong with kopiuncle? What happened?

 

[ginfreely]

Sounds like a good option for people with no family support when old, provided can afford to pay lah, the price is the crucial factor. Now HDB elderly studio flat already much more than Sgd100k for 30 years lease, how cheap can this private retirement village be?

If a small little unfurnished studio flat for 30 yrs can cost more than $100K, then the retirement village which comes in live-in condition and complete with recreational facilities etc and perhaps including a couple of health care staff should cost at least 5 times more. Those people (sometimes also known as 奸商）had done their homework and know that there are many rich singles in SG and what a better way to earn their silver dollars. No one will do non profitable business in SG.

Singapore retirement village. Making people laugh!! Singapore country is consider city state so no more rural area.
Maybe just called retirement corner/block more likely .

Malaysia is bigger than JB, there are plenty of other places in Malaysia for retirement living.

When you're old, the last thing you want is to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of city living, especially in an overcrowded, price-inflated shithole such as Singapore. More nature, less concrete.

 

[laksaboy]

When you die,

1) they take your organs
2) sell u funeral service
3) impose tax on your estate
4) swallow your medisave

At least when you die in Malaysia, you can get buried in a nice burial ground and not forcibly get cremated.

And there is no HOTA organ robbery (assuming you hadn't opted out). If you want to donate your organs you can always legally pledge your organs.
