My friend lost quite a lot of money when he sold his Bishan EC.. -.-"
Coz EC after 5 years will change status to full condo.
Suppose to be able to make money BUT
If the selling price is not able to cover your loan amount, you can forget about it... -

These festering social issues worry me, but almost every place on earth is in decline and has self-serving politicians. All I can do is bite the bullet and pray that shit doesn't happen to me.
it doesn't have to be that way ..... I remember my japanese school mates telling me how safe japan was .... that you could walk down the streets anywhere at any time of the night and nothing would happen to you .... even in areas where yakuzas hang out ..... (that excludes korean and mainlander imigrant areas, cos, as one of them put it, they don't understand the japanese society's psyche)
I told them, Singapore's the same too ! ....... or so I thought ..... then ....
when we, the stake holders of the society become as cynical and jaded as you say ..... then we're truly farked ....
that's why I'm joining up with the bukit panjang community watch program, among other things .... cos this is my home and I am a stake holder .... I refuse to keep quiet and watch and just shake my head and suffer in silence .....
and as for self-serving politicians, you watch .... it's gonna get worse, as more opposition politicians get in and our politics increasingly becomes a game of musical chairs. Soon, instead everyone would start telling you what you want to hear, doing what you'd like them to do, instead of what's really good and neccessary.

One of my friend's friend got rejected of selecting their NORMAL 4room HDB flat. Reason being her hubby got a promotion and their combine salary hit above the 8k ceiling.
They were told to queue for an EC under the DBSS at Buangkok.They opt for the 3 bedroom unit and was told the price is $1,000,000.
They went ahead and took the max 30years loan. Monthly need to fork out around $2k in cash after deducting CPF.
My eyes nearly pop out..... Whichmeans, they can't go out of job for the next 30 years.
And they said will have a problem if they ever have children...=_______="
they are just asking for it ............
I don't pity them either .....

Actually there are a few ways of working about it
They should have negotiated with their company on delaying the pay increase and the company pay back some other way. It's not something that cannot be done.
I know how dangerous it is because that time when we went to ballot for a flat, our combined income was like $7,980 or something like that. HDB actually sent us a warning letter.
I actually talked to my boss about a pay reduction till I get a flat at that time.
Anyway, in the end we bought from the open market and the following month our salaries overshot the 8k mark.

Btw can't yr friend buy a flat from the open market?
It would sure be cheaper than a 1mil flat at Buangkok -_-"
