Yishun residents living in Block 725 Yishun Street 71 complained to the media of a nearby HDB unit always receiving random male strangers up till the wee hours of the morning. 2 to 3 sexy ladies wearing very little are often spotted "at home", wearing high heels, backless dresses and thick makeup. Residents shared that the HDB unit was previously rented to students and worker but since 3 months ago was rented to these sexy ladies who are suspected freelance prostitutes. A prostitution ring is suspected to be behind these HDB brothels and there are men placed near the HDB flat as look out for the authorities.

Some years back, a PAP minister said that it was possible to own a flat with a $1k a month income in Singapore. Heck, the media even featured someone who had a 2-room BTO on an $850/month salary.

Why the **** are they planning to expand (2030) the NEL to more stations in punggol when it is already congested in the first place. The problem lies with the daily ridership that is already too concentrated at punggol/sengkang.

HDB buildings appear to be no longer safe. According to Shin Min Daily News, “a slab of the roof-wall” fell from Block 51 in MacPherson Road 2 days ago. The size of the calcium silicate board which measured about “4 metres by 2 metres” – slightly larger than 2 king size mattresses – could have caused a number of fatalities. Again, lady luck was smiling at us. Just last month a concrete sun breaker weighing a few hundred kilos was dislodged from another HDB block in Tampines. And last year, a smaller slab of concrete fell from this block in Whampoa.

At about 6.00am Wednesday morning (19 October 2016), a slab of wall attached at the top of a Circuit Road HDB block 51 fell off and smashed into the ground floor. Fortunately, no residents were in the area when the incident happened but it has shocked residents who were surprised that such an accident could even occur. Local resident Gary shared that Circuit Road estate (Macpherson SMC under Tin Pei Ling) has many elderly residents and they may not be agile enough to avoid such falling objects. If an object from height falls on them, it could cause serious and even fatal injuries to them.

Stallholders affected by the fire that gutted a coffee shop and wet market in Jurong West on Tuesday will each be receiving S$500 in financial aid.

I refer to the article “HDB annual deficit declines to S$1.64b as fewer new flats built” (Channel NewsAsia, Oct 13). It states that “The Housing and Development Board (HDB) incurred a deficit of S$1.64 billion in the last financial year, down from S$2.02 billion the previous year, as it scaled back on the building of new flats. I understand that the primary reason why the HDB incurs a deficit every year, and higher deficits when more flats are built – may be that it is charging the land cost at market rates. So, does it mean that the component of HDB flat prices charged to land cost is about 66 per cent (5,633,018 divided by (16,157,082 + 5,633,018 – 5,255,197)?

You don't need much space to have sex, said Senior Minister of State Josephine Teo, who oversees the National Population and Talent Division.

It was most unfortunate that the market at Blk 493 Jurong West St 41 was engulfed in fire this morning at about 2:30am. It was fortunate that no one was injured.

Saw a dog without owner running across to the other side of the road. Heard one aunty of few metres away shouting oi come back oi come back but wat annoying was that she did not go after the dog... at first i assume she might hv some walking difficulties (unable to climb down the stairs etc) so i chased after the dog n tried to lead him back to the owner.
