Unlike the grummy AMK sers flat owners, those at Marsiling are singing a different tune. The latter are delighted at the prospect of not having to pay for a replacement unit of a similar type, and some said they will get something out of their transactions. My friend, who’s living alone in a 5-room flat in Marsiling Lane, told me he will opt for a 5-room replacement flat, and will receive 20K as a part of the transaction. That’s not counting the 17K in payouts he’ll get for paying miscellaneous expenses, incl a 10K moving fee.
 
What are the reasons for the discrepancy between the 2 groups of sers owners’ rehousing benefits, or lack thereof? Honestly, I don’t have a clear comprehension of the methods of property valuation and why there’s little uniformity in the dispensation of rehousing benefits to flat owners in mature and non-mature estates. What’s pretty obvious is, home valuations are at an all-time high.
 
According to a property specialist, Woodlands, a large non-mature estate, has an abundance of lands resulting in cheaper land prices. On the other hand, AMK, a mature estate, has very limited lands, so the cost of housing is correspondingly higher. The AMK residents were understandably none too pleased at getting the short end of the stick in their rehousing dealings with the HDB.

SERS is supposed to be beneficial for those who get it not a lottery ticket. Some lucky happy others bad deal.

If it is win win as claimed by the PAP, let residents vote like in en bloc.

It's reasonable.

Can the govt do something reasonable?
