SINGAPORE: A Reddit post about how the downpayment for a 5-bedroom HDB flat costing less than $15,000 some 40 years ago generated much interest, causing many Singaporean commenters to take a trip down
memory lane.
For example, a 3-room flat in New Town had a sale price of $37,300 and was the least expensive HDB property, while the most expensive was an Executive Apartment in the inner urban area, which sold for $166,000.Resident claims birds have 'attacked' children at Yishun, but authorities are unresponsive 'for weeks'
One thanked the commenter for pointing this out and added that they hadn’t realized that the movement “went that far to change a town’s name!”
