You know those people on the news complaining about “rental flat people” living near them? I really don’t understand what they are complaining about. I read on Straits Times today that they were afraid that these “smokers and drinkers” would lead their children astray. Ridiculous! You mean only people that live in rental flats smokes and drinks? Use your brain la! Well of course “rental flat people” smoke cheaper and drink beer as compared to richer people that smoke cigar and drink wine, big difference! What I’m saying is, if the parents can’t teach them properly, even if they don’t smoke or drink, they’ll still end up scums of the society. On the other hand, if you were brought up in a good environment, even if you smoke and drink, you’ll still become a useful person in the society.
As for the rest of their concerns, if you aren’t happy with the way the blocks are maintained then complain to HDB to be stricter with the rules, you can’t ask HDB to stop building rental flats near your house?! How does that even make sense?
You know in the same way these “HDB people” look down on “rental flat people”, many “Condominium people” also look down on you guys! Shocking news? Things I’ve heard the “Condominium people” say is that HDBs have no facilities, no security guards, dirty, rubbish bin stinks at the lobby, spoilt bicycle and junk littered everywhere. So go ahead “HDB people”, go look down on those “rental flat people”… Just know that you are judged as well by the private property people as well.
Do these people even think before they speak? Do they really want to segregate Singapore’s property into different Socioeconomic classes? If you don’t want to live beside rental flats, then go work harder earn more money and move to “better” neighborhoods! Money can’t buy everything, but if you don’t have money then stop complaining about people that are poorer than you! If you have money, then go hire people to help you complain instead

Hey guys! Pls read the newspaper frequently. As reported in the ST news paper, the reasons that the residents opposed to the building of a 14 storey block of flat is bcos their view is going to blocked off completely, not bcos it was a rental flat. HDB squeeze about 1000 new residents into a small plot of land much smaller than a foot ball field. The residents anticipated that there will be problems like parking, social, overcrowding and devaluation of their property. I wonder how will you react if HDB did the same to you ???

Yup, I’m all for chasing these people away! Definitely! We should separate the different social classes flats and houses in Singapore. I for one, would not be having to squeeze with HDB people near my private housing! You know how HDB blocks look so old and boring, infact without the HDB blocks infront of my window, my window has a very good view to the MRT station and high class posh dining area. You are right Coolmama, HDB shouldn’t be doing this to you nor to me. Oh yeah, why can’t HDB flats have security guards? Us private property home owners feel so unsafe living next to HDB flats
