yup no rush to get your HLE, but if you are those people who like to dilly dally best to apply now since its valid for 3 months. Or unless you expecting an increment in your salary or just started working recently and have not met the minimum 3 months cpf contribution. Apply later lor

Firstly, my in-laws have lived at balam road for 20 plus years and i'm just sharing the info what they've told me. I have colleagues who have stayed around circuit road their whole life and also told me about this issue. I'm just digging it out to share with everyone, i'm not forcing anyone to not apply for that area.

IMO that area is a prime location which is superbly convenient to get around singapore.

Secondly, Speaking the facts isn't wrong and the body was found directly on the plot of land the BTO is slated to be built on. Truth be told, you can look up the article if you are so curious about it. I just merely got a screen grab of part of the article online.

still i myself am not bothered about it, but if people do bother like i said in my previous posts. There are people who are "pantang" about it, you may not be but some "are".

Hey may I know where can I find the article? Your pic has been taken off the hosting site.

I think it was taken out for a reason, means people complain I violated some rules.

I won't repost it up again as I got to search the library archives once more for it.

However I recalled it's on the straits times 1995. 15 August papers.

direct link to find the info. this wont be violating the rules now won't it.

nope, chance don't increase. chances only increase if you apply for non-mature estates. and march bto is all mature estate

I'll prefer punggol. Sigh... Dunno when thn the Punggol BTO be launch again.

i always thought that the following factors increase your chances :

1) Stay near parents/in-laws
2) Married with child
3) Married
4) First-timer that has never applied before.

regardless of whether its a mature estate or not..

 

[F3Rm1nat0r]

all of those increase your chances, but when you bid for non mature estates, more than 2 times and dont get, 3rd time onwards you get +1

so first timer -> 3rd time = 2 +1
near parents -> 3rd time = 4+1

and so on..

 

[frozened]

Thanks for clarifying, now I understand how they calculate the chances..

just to correct you
according to HDB's list, Bukit Panjang and Bukit Batok are both non-mature estates
means 2nd timer will have 15% allocation for BTO there

how to find this hdb list to know which estates are matured which aren't?

actually i called HDB, they told me that march bto all are considered mature estate

That is strange
According to the last sobf, bukit panjang is listed under non mature
And I checked up bukit batok too because I live there

Hdb said that the new rule to increase 2nd timer chance to 15% takes effect in the march bto. Won't make much sense if there are no non mature estate at all for this rule to make any impact right?

i do hope you're right!
