The main advantages are that clothes dried under the sunny sun with winds are these clothes smell nice and feel good when the clothes are being worn as compared to clothes dried inside the rooms with winds or fans have an unpleasant smell and the feel is not as good when the clothes are being worn.
It is noted that the cost of current method of drying clothes is very minimal as compared to the cost of building of a balcony for drying clothes which cost more than $10,000."
why must be on bamboo poles, we use lines and ropes also can, only HDB dwellers use bamboo poles.
As I said, some cloth cannot be wash with washing machine, fabric such as silk and cotton will get damage.
The cost of balcony is nothing comparing to the safety of it, many a times see on news someone drop from a high floor while hanging cloth with bamboo poles. So with a balcony, i believe that it not only create safety, good for women and older folks too. And when you are not drying cloth, can use the balcony for suntan or play mahjong.

Bowah,
We are talking about drying clothes for people living in the high rise HDB flats. Of course, there are people who live in rural areas who use ropes or lines to dry their clothes.
Indeed, there are clothes that need handwashing but these clothes are usually dried indoor or to be dried away from the sun or these clothes are sent to laundry houses for dry cleaning. The clothes that are dried on the bamboo poles are usually the normal clothings.
How many people fall in a year ? 5 people ? Who are these people ie usually new maids. By the way, there are already safe system that allows people to put their clothes on the rail indoor and then the rail is moved out of the window of the kitchen to dry the clothes under the sunny sun using a mechanical or semi-automatic system.
Do the residents of 1-room, 2-room and 3-room HDB flats can afford the luxury of the more than $10,000 balcony for drying clothes ? You are rich but these people can hardly meet their ends and yet you want them to fork out more than $10,000 for a balcony for drying clothes as compared the current method of drying the clothes using the bamboo poles whose cost is minimal.

Thats basically the reason right ? People are not willing to pay 10k out from their pocket for just some lame reason. Even you have the money, also no balcony for you
It requires majority votes. If you so rich folk out for them loh, then can suntan together, why not ! -

Maids fall off when cleaning windows, shall we remove windows altogether ? Same reason.

Just think lah!
If you built a balcony for $10,000 only the top floor can dry clothes in the sun and sunbathe there.
The rest of the balconies will be below and shaded from the sun.
Also you must impose the death penalty to discourage the top flat owner from instaling a roof over his balcony.
Therefore the balcony for drying clothes in HDB flats idea is one idea that is not better than the PM idea. You fail on this one.
Even if you make the balcony free and compulsory, people will curse you, for spending money unnecessarily and not giving people cash instead.
One room, two room and three room flat dwellers want cash, not balconies.
Give them cash plus a balcony free also not good, they want cash and cash, and more cash.

Just need to use some simple reasoning. This topic is that dumb enough. Blame the government for not giving you money, but on the other hand, you want spend money to build balcony for some lame reason. Stop being selfish, just because you want it

I was just wondering whether are we taken for a ride by TS. It's a strange and funny thread, but yet the responses have been quite popular so far. Frankly, in Singapore, with or without a balcony, your cloth will get dry up on a hot sunny day.
I believe that there is a co-payment for building balcony as part of an upgrading project, and as somone mentioned, it also need the resident to vote for it. For the resident part, they can pay by CPF on installment basis. With CPF rules changed, why not go for it, after all, with the new rules, you cannot withdraw CPF completely.

What do u mean by "taken for a ride by TS"?Nothing funny about this topic.It is popular because some chaps pesistently want to oppose this proposal. It is to solve the problem of dripping water from upper floors.to lower unit's clothing.
It is right that you understand the merits of my suggestion.I believe private multi-storey residential buildings don't have the drying clothing method like HDB's flats have -- mind you, many HDB blocks consist of four-room and larger flats.

Indeed, HDB had built an extra room for old flats.
Angel7030's words have to be taken with a pinch of salt as her words are made usually with a sense of fun.
May I know where are these old flats that HDB had added extra balconcies for drying colthes then ?
It is true that the government will subsidize part of the cost of upgrading be it for an extra room or an extra balcony for drying clothes, the residents of the 1-room, 2-room and 3-room HDB flats still have to bear the cost by payment from cash and/or their CPF balance. These people are hardly making enough to meet their ends and their CPF balances are low. These people have already difficulties in making their monthly instalments using their CPF balance and/or cash to HDB and yet now you want to add heavier financial burden on them by building a balcony for drying clothes to which they don't really need ?

The question of fee should be solved by residents' voting.
If I'm not wrong, residents need not pay it (if they can't afford to pay)until they sell their flat.

What de ? So its actually to solve the problem of dripping water from upper floors.to lower unit's clothing ??? WOW. You actually proved us right. We are taken in for a ride, getting trolled.
Do you actually watch your mother hang your underwear ? SQUEEZE THEM DRY FIRST BEFORE PUTTING IT OUT !!! Holy.... Go and fk the guy upstairs for being inconsiderate, not fk the HDB for building a balcony

I got it now, so this TS met with some incosiderate people dripping water onto his clothes, then came to forums to QQ.

one of my worker (washing lady) lives in Boon Lay 3 rooms with upgraded extension of living room+ balcony+ a sliding door in between (make it look like condo style) , the upgrading was done in somewhere 2004, cost was 16k, resident paid 6k full or by installment without interest, govt sponsor 10k. She said, at first the showroom shown a big balcony, but later upgrade already, look very small, she said it is good for drying cloth, but rainy days, water also can come in, and if you dun collect your clothing, it get wet, and also the wall get eroded easily, need to paint often. Check it out..!!

You already self-pawned yourself
Now i get the reason why you always dont like to explain much. Afraid of people knowing your true intention eh ?Once again simple reasoning. If you cant convince us, what makes you think HDB will agree, even if HDB agrees, what makes you think the people will agree

PRP is volunteering to pay for all Singaporeans, so all SIngaporeans get balconies for free.

See paying $6k for upggrading which includes balcony and extention of living room.
See she says it is good for drying clothes.Rain water would of course splash in since it is a balcony -- just like most windows.
