Singapore is a vastly different market from Hong Kong, unless Indonesia/Malaysia can achieve the same purchasing power parity as the Chinese towkays in time to come. Plus the Singapore housing market is highly regulated; with 80% of its population in HDB dwelling and demand/supply and entry pricing being controlled. To reach $6k psf may really take years and years to come.... so let's not bet on it.

Wow, so much ado about having a chute! Personally, I prefer having a chute outside the house for the following reasons:

1) Fumigation is always a nightmare. And for units below 5 storeys, cockroaches is a huge problem... not to mention the free smells..... esp during durian season.

2) The refuse chute chamber counts towards the gross floor area. Plus the area around the chute is often wasted space. In land scarce Singapore, my psf cost can go towards better uses.

If having a chute outside the house affects one's sense of pride, then plse spare a thought about the landed gentry. Those towkays/MPs/Ministers who stay in our D9/10/11 GCBs (Jet Li inclusive) will have to ensure that all their refuse is transported out of the house, past the garden, and out of the gate. That is what I term as a real pain..... But then again, these people have domestic helpers to do the work.

so the same should go for most of the forum users here who can afford one or more private housing.

Your nick look familiar to me.. have we spar, flame, stab or simply chit chat before?

And just step in see all these narrow minded ppl that have no sense of humor and couldn't take a single tinge of sarcasm from stalingrad. Seriously, they don't know what they have miss if this place lack of forumer like him. Someone actually post to rebuke his idea of placing cactus on planter to scare kids away. Goodness, either he can't read and enjoy a smile or ppl are really on different frequency here.

I hope you meant the cactus is a good idea to blind your child if they run into the spikes......Ouch.

Oii.. Hundred Trees and Botannia NO in-house rubbish chute. Why CDL do it and how it matter. <- I think we are talking something like this right?

Yeah true, why do I care? I cannot change every mentally challenged person in Singapore. I don't own any unit in 100 Trees or Botannia either.

hahaha.... definitely not spar nor flame!

But you did provide me with lots of insights over landed property some time ago. I bought a corner terrace at Siglap and was totally clueless at that point.

i was pretty busy too... so hardly came into this forum these days. the first thread i clicked into after not coming in here for weeks was on Hundred Trees, and saw the rubbish chute saga... hahaha... cannot resist giving my 2 cents worth though yes, i should rightfully be on the other side. My Parc Mondrian unit actually has a chute inside the house.

you are very defensive ..

if having the chute in the unit is not hygienic .. i can assume you had that issue .. it is up bringing .. i never had problem with hygiene with an inhouse chute ..

the problem is bad management of the condo .. and the owner ...

case close and dont write to rebuke me .. cos i am not replying anymore to people who die die want the world to accept their opinion .. you from the Lee family ??

True, I need not defend myself, as case is closed for me, since there are so many die hard in-chute fans.

I have had the priviledge to experience in-house and external chute and I prefer external chute, I currently stay in landed, so no problems with me on bad condo management or the owner (myself).

oh, I see. And you hit into the middle of a spat.
Nah.. don't bother about taking side, just playing with some clown.
Maybe taking a cue or two from him, it worth learning something from the less fortunate.

Good bedtime reading lah... hahahha... can you imagine a forum where everyone is so serious in the discussion... it won't be known as a online forum... it would be a parliament sitting already

**stalingrad** · 09-10-09, 12:04

Yes, take it as a good joke if someone says that planting cacti is a good way to prevent kids from climbing over the glass panels in the balcony.

Also take it as a joke if someone would not buy certain condos because of the location of the garbage chute. But I guess this someone is not joking.

**W0520** · 09-10-09, 17:32

Does anyone know how many units have been sold so far?

**Simi** · 09-10-09, 17:47

The cactus thingy may not be entirely a bad thing after all.

30 years ago, my son got a bad habit of reaching and pulling anything with steam, iron, boiling kettle, etc. Ignoring any warning of "hot hot".

One fine day, I assisted his expedition. On control strength, I held his finger and pressed lightly against the iron. Follow by an hour of pacifying with toothpaste applying on his finger. Since then, no more dangerous and life threatening acts from him anymore.

Just the other day, he told me he is going to do the same to my grandchild. Coolz huh?

Hey pal.. no time no see, still in NYC? Was it you?

This rubbish chute saga did attract a lot of ppls..

Anyway, concentrate on 2 collection points. Wet & dry purposes. That the best you could do, I mean you can't walk out everytime just to throw that empty toothpaste or banana skin.

**xtink** · 10-10-09, 15:43

**Condorich** · 10-10-09, 16:07
