I had a conversation with Filipinos recently, and they were very upset with their country's politicians being nothing but corrupted. He made a very good point, "There is no such thing as public servant anymore, they only serve themselves." |

Firstly, it is "who" they approached or attended to them. If they encountered a heartless and cold MP or gov official, which seems to be common in our views, they get a couldn't be bothered attitude. If they are lucky and met a good one, they can get reprieve. Next, maybe these so called servants are already hardened by the many cases, many are not genuine, that they became numb. On the above case. It was a friend who is in grassroot that advised me what to do then. He did mention to me too, let e authorities assess if these are genuine cases. The least we could, just help if we really felt it's genuine case. As individuals, we can only do so much. Yes, much like you, I really don't like this gov. I am not totally sure the next gov will be better, but hey hey, if it's already so bad, we can afford e risk of another (in that sense). |

Have to agree with HeiYuEr. The rules are there or added because during the 80's and 90's, some ppl uses the loop holes to make money out from HDB flats.
I ever heard of a case that a family has 2 HDB flats in their possession. They stayed in 1 and live off on the other rental. HDB found out years later and ask them stopped renting out the flat or the flat will be confiscated. They obeyed and stopped renting out. As the flat was brought before the rules of having to sell their flat before can buy another hdb flats kicks in, the owner gets to keep the flat empty and stay in another 3rm flats an enjoy all the rebates. Some times we can't blame the government, but blame those who play with the system and make those who are abiding pay the price. |
