Truth of HDB Ownership - 99 Year Leasehold Tenancy



HDB 99 Years Leasehold Tenancy Purchase

The Prime Minister has tried to confuse or sidestep the FUNDAMENTAL Question of "HDB OWNERSHIP". What types of Ownership are we having when we buy a HDB flat?

Many people have correctly pointed out with FACTUAL illustration of that little paper you sign when you purchase your HDB flat, regardless whether it is new BTO or resale HDB flats.

It is a purchase of HDB 99 year TENANCY OR WHATEVER is left of the tenancy agreement. This is NOT the usual property sake and purchase agreement.

This is why you will NEVER be issued a strata titles because what you have bought is only a long term, paid in advanced, tenancy agreement.

This is also why when you want to SUBLET out your flat, you have to get permission from the REAL OWNER, HDB.

Thus, PM Lee is Totally wrong to say that HDB "ownership" is the same as private property ownership because they own DIFFERENT things altogether. HDB ownership refers to the long term tenancy agreement while the private property ownership refers to the ownership of property, including the land.

This is also why when Gov wants to take away your car park or any space under your block to build anything, they don't need to pay you single cent because you don't own it! But if it is from private property, they will have to pay the private owners!

Similarly, all car park revenues from your HDB car parks will go to HDB, not HDB tenants, while for condominiums which decided to collect car park fees from visitors, the revenue will go to the management committee collecting on behalf of owners which is used to supplement maintenance fees.

HDB LONG TERM TENANCY ownership is the first of its kind in the world which hoodwinked people into thinking they are really owning a property or land but the hard truth is, they own nothing but the long term tenancy agreement!

This is the REAL truth of HDB "OWNERSHIP".

Most things are best left alone. So far they have never been able to solve anything without punishing the people for more money or solving to make one group happy and another new group facing difficulties They will come out solving this ("99") years HDB with elaboration multi-complexity so as not to make themselves redundant.
They are embedded with bad science thinking they are using it good.

China now out all other countries in tourism. Chinese tourists poured $258 billion into the global economy. This puts their spending at double that of the U.S.tourists and triple that of the German ones..and there is much room to grow. Goldman Sachs projects that by 2025 more than 200 million tourists per year will venture forth from China.

2 months ago during a Sunday evening I experienced severe pain on my ankle joint. The doctor at the A & E put it to sprain and gave me 2 days M.C. Last Sunday evening I had the same severe pain on the same ankle but this time it had a big swelling. A different doctor diagnosed it as gout gave me an injection of pain killers and gave me 3 days of M.C. 2 doctors different diagnosis.

The 1st one thought that I was kengging for M.C. as next day was a Monday.

Police mostly only acted from Stomp postings. In rural China they are progressively rolling out "sharp-eyes" project. Cameras are installed in rural neighbourhoods including Skynet satellite cameras allowing country folk to watch public areas via streaming boxes and apps. They can simply press a button on their TV or mobile phone to alert of any suspicious or criminal activity to alert the police. Smart rural country.

Simple economics:

I just don't know very much about economics . Also not good at Math, and I don't know how to do theory. It would be total fakery if I don't know:

LTV- cooling buying sentiment.

TDSR- buyers would not be overstretch.

ABSD- If anyone wants to buy more than one property even if you pass the LTV & TDRS than you pay us 4% plus 12% (extortion money)?

That (extortion money?) will be dirty money?

Developers are included in the extortion?

Don't worry, be happy.

Its only dirty money.

They need their high bonus and salary.

Its only a second property.

Second property, they are in the minority.

Don't worry, be happy.

Life is too short to be angry.

Let them have the dirty money.

If your present property is owned by 2 names, you can sell your half share to the other owner/spouse. That way the other half that was sold pay 4% of stamp duty. Depending you may need money to pay of your half share, as the loan will only be under one borrower. If it is fully paid, than good enough. After freeing your name you can than use to buy a second property under your name. That way in total you only pay 8% of stamp duty rather than 16%. Its a lot of hassle and time consuming, but we are talking about big ticket items here so its all worth the savings in the end. Than do a will. Funny that with a country so advance, but when it comes to filling their pockets, rules will be done in their favor.

If bought before all these rules came in sell your home and free your 2 names, and buy one each to escape the absd about 16 to 20 % inclusive stamp duty.

So you think they spent $40 million on the few hours for National Day?
Did PM Lee watched their spending or open check? He told the people to cut down on spending.
Five years ago one popiah cost $1.20 at the hawker center, now is $ $1.95. Food potions are also becoming smaller.

Now that the Great Singapore Sale is another going down the slope, does that mean that the country is run by incompetent people who is not making a difference? Are there more to come?

What are traffic-lights for?

Green to go, red to stop, arrows turn left or right or straight.

Is it good or bad?

Of course good , otherwise langar anyhow and traffic chaotic many deaded.

What about PAP traffic-lights?

If you don't want langar, just follow the rules. If they say turn left, you cannot turn right. If they say go straight, you just go straight. If all their lights are red clear for president, you cannot move. Understood.
