Out of the numbers, around fifty percent were two room public housing, 1/6 were three room units, and also 1/3 were 4 room or even larger sized units, Sim Ann said.

” Property owners of brief lease units who no more wished to keep their public housing or that had come to be unequipped to carry out so, are obliged to give up their units to HDB. These individuals are not even permitted to offer for sale them on the open market,” she pointed out.
The various other 700 public housing were surrendered largely because of alterations in the circumstances of the owners in their MOP. These kinds of owners were not even enabled to resell their HDB units on the common market as these individuals had not at all satisfied their minimum stay period.
