With the recent 'trend' of 'waterfront' living and living near large bodies of water, Singapore today as it is is already high in humidity all year long. If staying near such locations, humidity is heightened. Leather shoes, bed frames, sofa, curtains etc turn moldy in mere days, especially during rainy season which exaberates the problem.
How practical is choosing to live near large water bodies, particularly if in heavily forested area eg. Meadows @ Pierce, Archipelago @ Bedok, pool side/facing units in Bt Timah and reservoir areas... etc.
