Maybe they issue u queue no first bcos 899 is not far off from 823.. So in the case of a few dropouts u stand a chance to choose a unit.. If all 823 units all taken before ur appt date, they will send update to ur hdb homepage asking u no need come for appt?
That's what I guess ba..
Yup! That's true. Everyone with a ballot number will be given an appt date. So if there's drop outs or racial quota not fulfilled yet when it comes to your date; HDB will still get to attend to u as per scheduled.
