The following is a letter from Mr Leong Sze Hian to the Today newspaper. It was published on Today Online on 31 Dec 2009.
I REFER to “Asset that keeps growing” (Dec 30) and reports that two Housing and Development Board (HDB) blocks in Toa Payoh will be rented out to foreign workers from the Integrated Resorts (IR).
The report states that, “Looking to next year, Mr Mah said the opening of the two Integrated Resorts will lead to higher demand for housing.”
It also quoted Mr Mah Bow Tan as saying: “But we’ll increase the supply as well.”
My friend, who is unemployed, asked me what is the cheapest rental that he, as a single person, can get in Singapore, as he can no longer afford the single-room rental in an HDB flat.
I understand that the cheapest single- room rental in an HDB flat is about $350. As far as I know, the cheapest rental is $140 in a shared HDB flat, from EM Services. However, this option is only for foreigners and is not open to Singaporeans.
Why is it that a Singaporean has to pay at least $350 for a place to live, when an IR foreign worker can rent for as little as $140?
While thousands of Singaporeans have to wait for months to get a rental flat, why is it that foreign workers can rent and stay in HDB flats immediately?
So why are these blocks now being used to house foreign workers for rental profit?
This is not the first time that HDB flats are being rented out to foreigners, as I understand that there are flats in Woodlands used for this purpose.
HDB flats, being public housing – a precious, limited resource, and much in demand – should only be reserved for Singaporeans.

HDB SAID THE 2 TOA PAYOH BLOCKS ARE SHORT TERM USE FOR IR STAFF. HOW SHORT IS SHORT?

PLEASE QUANTIFY ‘SHORT TERM’ INTO ‘NUMBER OF YEARS’.
HDB Deputy Directors damn good for giving crappy n unconvincing reply, like the below,

“While thousands of Singaporeans have to wait for months to get a rental flat, why is it that foreign workers can rent and stay in HDB flats immediately?”
Actually not by months, it is by year, at least 1 year + 1 month now(13 months). Why we have to wait for so long when foreigners can rent and stay in HDB flats immediately?
Have any reply from HDB?
HDB WILL NEVER REPLY, LIKE THE BELOW 2 CASES.

The messages forward by Reach to the agencies do not have any reply?
I guess the reason is Reach itself also don’t like to reply enquiry, so Reach can not convince other agencies to reply.
If you talk louder to a wall it will give you at least an echo, when you throw somethings into a sea it would sink down then disappear, but you will still can heard a sound and see some ripples.
So next time send the feedback to the sea or tell the wall, it would better than send it to Reach for forwarding or send it to the agency!
To “30) thumos on January 3rd, 2010 1.51 pm. Your comment that,
“it is simply BAD PLANNING and GROSS MISMANAGEMENT on the side of the government. ” can be SUMMED-UP into One Term! And it IS call “MANAGEMENT BY CRISIS”. And it is so, because most of the PAP’s actions are “Reactionary” in nature, except for their money making stance which IS “Proactive”.
So ultimately, Singaporeans become “Sacrificial Lambs” for PAP government & It’s entities monetary gains which include all of their top Singaporean talents in Civil Service too which are also paid “FAT” and so won’t squeal.
The rest of us are just for “slaughter” as he deems fit from what and how LKY views us per what he said to The National Geographic recently about PRCs. About them being more “Hard-Driving and Hard-Striving”. He is more about he and his government looking on top of every other government in the world ya! Why else he goes around even telling the Japanese to follow his “style”? Then realized he is an exception and goofed by saying he “deosn’t do the work anymore and just forecasting”! SEE his GIGANTO EGO APPETITE for FAME and Fortune!!!
Elderly are forced by current HDB rental rules to live in pairs in small one-room rental flats. Some used to work as Samsui women and Ah-Meh cheh. Although independent, they are not allowed to rent the single space for single occupancy. Personal conflcts are common as the they face other day after day.
Appeals to HDB to waive the compulsory pairing in such rental one-room flats were always met with the same template reply of insufficient supply and that it is “for their own good to care for each other!”
This is how this generation of hardworking elderly is being treated, with no value on their autonomy and dignity!

So, is that the best that pap can do? Get PRs here to jack up hdb prices?
Not all hdb owners own multiple properties, so what if the hdb flat can fetch a million $? Sell and stay in void deck, or rent and pay high rental?
With high hdb prices, and stagnant salaries, the younger generation is going to have a hard time starting a family…
“2 is enough” – failed policy, so need more PRs to boost population.
“Open door policy” – going to be a failure in future, since 2nd generation PRs who take up citizenship are going to face the same situation.

Share with you the reply from HDB at 11 Jan 2010:
”
I refer to your email of 7 Jan 10.
2 The blocks that you have mentioned (Blocks 32 and 33 Toa Payoh Lor 5) were announced for Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) as part of the Government’s Estate Renewal Strategy. After they are vacated, SERS blocks are demolished according to the redevelopment plans. Pending demolition, the flats are put to interim short-term use.
3 As these flats will be demolished eventually, they are less suitable for HDB’s Public Rental Scheme as the tenants would then have to move in a few years time. To meet the demand for rental flats under the Public Rental Scheme, HDB will be building 7,500 units of new 1-room and 2-room rental flats in the next 3 years.
4 Besides the 2 blocks mentioned, there is another vacated SERS block (block 28) which has been set aside for Interim Rental Housing (IRH). IRH provides temporary housing for citizen families with financial difficulties, in particular, those who are moving from their current flat to another flat that is financially sustainable for them. The IRH flats are offered to these households below the market rent.
5 The managing agent, EM Services Pte Ltd, rents out all other flats at market rent, except for IRH. There are no special rental concessions. The average monthly rent for each flat is about $1,500, which is the market rate. Singapore Citizens can also rent these flats from the managing agent.
6 These blocks are leased out on a short term basis, pending the future redevelopment of the site.
7 Thank you.
”
The enquiry I sent to QSM HDB:
”
Two of the HDB blocks in Toa Payoh will be rented out to foreign workers from the Integrated Resorts, this is not the first time that HDB flats are being rented out to foreigners from HDB directly.
When thousands of Singapore applicants are told to wait for at least a year and a month (13 months) to get a rental HDB flat, why is it the foreigners can rent and stay in HDB flats immediately?
We are Citizens of Singapore, why HDB discriminate us?
Why we have to wait for so long but foreigners totally no need to wait?
“
Sound reasonable, but the homeless will still have to wait for 1 to 2 years.
///is financially sustainable for them. The IRH flats are offered to these households below the market rent.///
two years later, I wonder what will be the below the Market rent????
///Without PRs buying, your HDB flat value would have fallen like a tonne of rocks! Don’t bite the hand that is supporting your valuable home!///
for public housing in the name of subsidization (though there are doubts) and meant to meet the housing needs of locals, there is no need for it to rise and fall too much at all.
the real cost subsidization (if it is really there) by itself alone is already a great benefit. no one loves biting hands, however what we are having now is the pushing of high price & creating the hastened inflationary effect to future buyers who may well be our children, etc. the cycle of high price will affect the resale market which in turn will affect new houses in order to close the gap (a logical excuse for the authority if they need any) and then back to resale market – what a wonderful merry go round and the start of another wonderful blame game.
“You serve the national service to protect your family and the nation. Get this basic fact right first.”
what a good way to say it. and f this basic fact. i wonder the intended tenet behind all this bullshit is even true anymore.
“Foreign talents are here to help build up Singapore’s economy. They are not responsible for defending Singapore and its citizens.”
enjoy your own spins while you still can. Singapore’s economy ? national service ? maybe you could spin for us on the distribution of obligations & returns among the different stakeholders. like i said, enjoy your own spins while you still can and while this going-to-be-obsolete skill can still do its last tricks on some unwary school kids.

“So, is that the best that pap can do? Get PRs here to jack up hdb prices?”
A more intelligent question is : given Singapore’s constraints, could any other government do better than the PAP Government?
“Not all hdb owners own multiple properties, so what if the hdb flat can fetch a million $? Sell and stay in void deck, or rent and pay high rental?”
There is such a word called “up-grading”; i.e. from a 3-room apartment, you upgrade it to a 4-room or 5-room apartment. It is a signal that one has made it or one has progressed.

What? PRs to protect Singapore? Are you mad? I say, lets be reasonable.
It took so much bloody efforts to persuade them to come Singapore and apply for the PR. They up-rooted their whole family to come here to help building up Singapore’s economy. The minimum decency Singaporeans should do, in time of troubles, is to ensure these PRs get out of the country safely and as soon as possible before they are harmed!
I suspect you guys may find it hard to swallow, but a fact remains a fact, among all the foreign talents, the PRs are the most precious human assets Singapore has stolen from other nations. You lose them, you make your competitors stronger!
Just look at this year’s top PSLE student – from China! Look at top GCE “O” Level student – from Malaysia! What does it tell you? The government has finally and successfully made Singapore an attractive place where talents all over the world are willing to come here, stay here, live here and help to build up this tiny island. Thanks goodness, decades of hardworks and carefully synchronised efforts have finally laid the solid foundation to prepare Singapore’s economy for the next Great Leap Forward!

The trouble with you, and many others here, is that you refused to look at the same issue from a macro view and in the long term interests of the nation as a whole.

post #76 on January 13th, 2010 3.54 am
its reasonable to assume PRS who chose to uproot from their motherland did so because they benefit 1 way or another to come here. their contribution to S’pore must be viewed in its entirety- whether S’poreans benefit, contributions beyond GDP figures but also more intangible things like social fabric, a more gracious (not dog eat dog worldview of survival of the fittest) society, greater individual tolerance. but reality for most indicates a greater intolerance because of some HBD policies, job insecurities, & a downward drive in wages widening the income gap.
well, S’pore being such a small country cannot buy enough to deprive competitors of talents. that is a fact maybe you’ll like to consider. not even a country the size of China & USA combined can buy them all & house them. be realistic lah. if our dear leaders think like you, S’pore will go bankrupt in months.
while you go on harping on how far (extra mile?) S’pore go to attract potential (not yet proven, but groomed by our education system?) talents, why not groom our own local population? afterall, if all foreigners are talents (but still need our education system to groom), why not groom locals? their roots are already here. no need to uproot unless, there are snobs among our leaders who look down on locals.
why do locals uproot themselves yet are 2nd class citizens elsewhere? why S’pore is the other way round? if you know the answer, it will go a long way to deprive “competitors” of our locally groomed talents.
as the saying goes “the grass is greener on the other side”. do our leaders hold this view? i really wonder.

@To meet the demand for rental flats under the Public Rental Scheme, HDB will be building 7,500 units of new 1-room and 2-room rental flats in the next 3 years.
Alas, so many poor people, that HDB have to built so many rental flats (7500 units)…sigh…and yet they call HDB affordable. If they can afford it, then they wont need to rent it liao lol….the PAP really think we r goons by sweet talking us.
“You chose to let politicians from the Opposition Camp to cloud your views and judgements. Please bear in mind that these politicians have never managed a country in their lives at all.”
going by your rationale, singles should not marry because they never have had married before. couples should not have babies because they never have had babies before. opposition should not become the next garment as they have never managed a country in their lives at all.
then how the hell the incumbent party managed to start in the first place. how do the old mps & ministars of the incumbent party being replaced by new inexperienced ones under a process which call it self-renewal.
your shit brain is clouded with too much chalky dust from your school days. you would have still stuck to your diapers if your parents did not try to put on pants / skirts for you when you grew up (even though you did not have the experience).
Actually, it not the PR fault at all. It is the HDB fault. They r the ones that decided the prices, armed with their figures. PR r just like cannon fodder for HDB to deflect criticism of their money making schemes.
Hope Sg ppl smart up from this tactics.

My View
Please get the facts right first! Who needs who? It is Singapore that needs the foreign talents to contribute to its economy. You need help and so you pay the price of what the other party asked for. Throw away that bloody word called “priority”, will you! I am getting sicked of these excuses!
Singapore needs the foreigners ???? Don’t be blind and easily fooled. Which Singaporeans needs the foreigners???? It is those big foreign corporations and rich employers (local or foreign) that needs those foreigners so that they can have a big profits for themselves and throw all those rubbish that these foreigners brought with them to us. The ordinary Singapore certainly and definitely don’t need those foreigners.
My view – 31
Which government in the world does not gives prority to its citizens over foreigners??? Therefore as citizens of Singapoe, we must must have prority over foreigners who comes here. This is the natural law in this universe.
Don’t over use the term “priority”. Next time, there will be someone claiming that Singaporean must have the priority to take a seat on the bus and MRT.

They might not be rich nation, but the People and their Leader pretty well balance though.
Country that do well in Economy does not represent that the people are doing well, like us, our Government has deep pockets, but the population don’t share it though, sometime we get change thrown at us, not bad though better then FA.

Instead their Employer should arrange other means of lodging for their employees.
How they do it, don’t want to know!
Knowledgable write up.It’s good that one can communicate so smartly. In my opinion, communication with this topic hasn’t exactly been the greatest. I found you on AOL.
I鈥檓 impressed, I need to say. Really seldom will i come across a blog that鈥檚 both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you may have hit the nail on the head. Your current idea is definitely excellent; the issue is something that insufficient people are speaking wisely about. I will be very happy that found it in my try to find something about it.
