Is HDB balloting truly random ?

[ahnyaahnya]

some ppl got more priority than others

from all the ppl I know that got good queue numbers, all can be "explained"
Personally I know I'd get a decent queue number.

You RC are?

 

[Prismatic]

HDB staff dun get priority lah. I personally know someone there who balloted 6 times before getting his flat.

 

[shikoo]

As random as ndp ticket allocation

 

[galaxy_henry]

Balloting is purely luck one.. Popular project sure many ppl want, then to get a queue number is difficult.

Go for those application lower < 1 type. Got higher chance to get. 2nd timer can get good queue number too.

95% allocated for 1st timer is not true for those application rate below 1.

Explain by and with what factors

 

[Acetone]

or they do sort out certain criteria themselves but they announce it as randomly selected by computers.

Criteria like : income. job stability.

After all, HDB is afterall giving a housing loan right ? Really random then housing loan to a no job stability gig worker vs a full time employed worker with good salary. Chance of gig worker not being able to repay loan is much higher right ?


I mean really ? So much money involved, so many commitments involved over many years. "It`s random"

Up for discussion.

Affordability criteria is not random, hence the HFE.

But the balloting number allocation is…

[spyder81]

Grassroot leaders and hdb staffs got priority lor.s
That's why many of those million dollar flats are owned by pappies cronies. Can retire very early

True normally those stay top floor got one patten one. Next time u all observe.

 

[hachi]

Can choose first but their selection very very limited and random. Might be top floor corner unit, might be 2nd floor corridor unit.
Cannot anyhow suka suka choose.

Allocated units and no, you won't get the best units... There will drop out... Cos many lousy units...

Are you really so ignorant about our BTO process or you are just out to stir issues?

We have our very experienced members like @1984 who can explained everything inside out to you but would it better you do your own homework before accusing a non random or unfair system?
