HDB InfoWEB : Lift Upgrading Programme - Overview
-ask them apply for citizens now.
Pay tax?
I thought gov got so much reserves?
Why keep so much reserves and over tax the citizens?
Then lose a sizeable portion of the reserves by making relatives head of Temasek to undertake punting activities.

My relative is being forced to sell his flat because of this. Poor thing.
WTF. i thought Town Coucsil got reserve. WHY USE TO INVEST instead of helping people to build the LUP for FREE>F PAP. CB. Next election u go hell la.
I pity your relative... I think that for the town council to do investments is totally ridiculous.... to think of it , PAP always say they wanted to help people , but i think for them is words speaks louder than actions..... They should think , not everyone has the $$$$ to pay for LUP , its time for PAP to wake up & think , before of this , people got to sell their flat , is it reasonable?

resonable, if you sell your flat, your got money and reapply for a new flat, that will not only up the price of HDB new flats, it also hold you to bank housing credit.
For you, you got a flat and a roof on top of you
for Govt, they get to earn money, churned the banks credit and loan business and thereby churn the economy from downturn to upturn.
A win win situation, By LHL

Hey, it is not fair just because u are sick then everyone has to pay for your living expense, right? Remeber the upgrading is beneicial to u leh. now my auntie has a lift right to her doorstep. She has a bigger ktichen blah blah also. Furthermore, the MP knows that 10% is still within the mean of my aunt coz he help her with the insurance payout that are tens of thousands of dollars. The original upgrading cost is abt $8K so 10% is abt $800 only. If MP help u to claim ~$40k (DPS) insurance payout then u only need to deduct $800 for upgrading, is not unreasonable, right?
Upgrade simi upgrade.
Why HDB don't admit that the original design was shitty in the first place.
HDB should be paying for the upgrade because they farked up the design.
After so many years, then they realised " oh shit, how are old folks and handicaps going to use the stairs ?".
Now HDB realised how stupid they had been, but they decide the people who lived in their shitty designed flat should pay for the architect's mistake.
HDB make so much money, won't kill them to fix the problem they created themselves.

If Singapore is a First World Country, why do you want to compare ourselves to a Third World Country like Sri Lanka ?
Should we not compare ourselves with other First World Countries like Switzerland and Sweden ?
Why is it that Sweden with a higher tax system can have a situation of happy citizens that continue to procreate and result in the increase growth to their population - WITHOUT the need to import foreign talents or open their doors to New People ?

Never been a fair for any games. Every gamers outwit one another. Can we have 33% representation of the oppositions if we want a fair rule? They don't represent you or me but themselves and play their own agenda.

Sometimes not too good to complicate it. People are sick, fed up, disappointed, upset, angry with the ruling party so they want change. This is not complicated to understand why people want them out

This is a statement from a Third World politician.
In the First World, politics are conducted squarely and fairly, administered and monitored by truly non-partisan and non-political individuals that lay the ground rules for all parties.
Political Power is transitioned from one party to the other in a mature and peaceful manner, unlike the Third World politicians who are reluctant to relinquish power and will find all means to cling on to the last vestige of power.
