from the article
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/300035/1/.html "Punggol 21 was initiated some 10 years ago in 1996 and was pitted to be the next lively housing estate in Singapore with over 90,000 public and private units.
But then the economic crisis kicked in and demand for new flats dipped and construction slowed down."
tis is such a simple excuse to fool the people. anyway no demand for flats doesnt mean no demand for amenities for residents who took the bait and bought into PG21 right?
"But according to feedback to HDB, 81 percent of residents said they were willing to pay more for service and conservancy to enjoy the new flat designs.
About half of them said they were willing to pay above S$10 more than the usual rates."
which joker at hdb commissioned this feedback coz i sure as hell never even heard abt it until now. god our conservancy is already i think the highest in sg. im juz so sick and tired of PAP propaganda
