'I'm stressed because it was quite sudden': Some Marsiling HDB residents shocked by acquisition...Not all residents are happy

Gov say so, so no choice

What if the vacated area is later constructed to station a special brigade comprising:
• tanks and armour
• artillery
• infantry
• combat engineers

For self defense purpose.

In case of surprise attack across Causeway, the immediate Block Force is already there.

No need to rush from far away places within SG to the Causeway.

Ya happy.. Gov will provide them with the option of a new unit with higher pricing. Those owner will have to take loan again to service the new HDB

HDB really not dumb…

my parents 3rm place enbloc (west coast). Originally they took the west coast site but the queue really bad so they appeal to take the sobf flat from my bto and was successful but HDB only allow them to take 4rm.

the compensation for the 3rm originally was 310+k but cos the 3rm value at my bto only 200+k (meaning HDB have to pay back the balance)… so in the end they are force to take up 4rm (similiar value as the compensation)

4rm also get lesser gst u-save compare to 3rm.

i wish the government reclaim land there so wont affect or make a kelong type of customs building built over the water so dont disturb the land

 

[Artemm]

Ur parents stay 20x there

1x, near the market. But of course if that 1x area kena sers, my mum would be very upset. She'll miss the marsiling market and people there.

For those that have paid fully for their house and when they get compensated, instead of getting themselves into some trouble of servicing a new loan and paying for renovation, wouldn't it be these people choose their new house + renovation all in well within the compensated value? In this case, its like breakeven.
I mean, we are staying on state's land. Even if you paid up your unit, you didn't pay for the entire land; we are paying only a tiny portion.
The authority being authority has the final say. SG is small. We know HDB is constantly renewing estates and houses. We see many old, stagnant land suddenly became a vibrant living space. People who buys second hand property cannot have myopic view when deciding on a unit. If the estate is old, just be prepared 1 day it be enbloc.

Do they need to top up?
If the value is the same.

Reclaim the North? You will see our northern neighbour will have no peace with us.
If you notice, reclamation is always done at the lower part of SG, East or West shores because we are still very very far away from southern neighbours; nothing is done on the northern shores.

This is no different from a collective sale of a condo development. There will be residents who welcome the prospect of moving to a brand new flat with a 99-year lease and modern amenities, while there will be others who have grown attached to their older units and cannot accept the change. The main worry for most of the affected tenants is that the new units would be significantly smaller. However, they should consider themselves the lucky ones with less than 5% of HDB flats being selected for SERS (Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme).
