Most of us here on the forum shouldnt worry since we are 'middle' class.

dont know what the wannabe buyers want?! first they want to go back to basic to buy cheap cheap cheap. then now they want dual-key so that they can monetise their flats... very confused... want it cheap or can monetize later? :doh:

In the early 90s there were many empty 3 and 4 room flats in woodlands and Yishun that HDB combined to become Jumbo units with 5 and 6 bedrooms. I remembered some floor plans for those low rise in woodlands, u get the whole floor to yourself.

Dual key to house 3 generations I can understand. But to help owners have future streams of income a bit spoon feeding liao.

How come an existing HDB owner can buy another HDB flat to combine?

Plenty of these around Yishun Ring Road/St 61.
