Okay now I understand. 99yr leaseholds and Freehold are made of different material like concrete...pipes all that different...
After 99yrs the leasehold will start disintegrate while freehold still standing.

Second Minister for National Development Indranee Rajah, who hosted Sunday's workshop and sat in for some of the small group discussions, said the idea of sustainable living and sustainability goes beyond addressing climate change, as she touched on the sustainable use of land.
"I noticed that in one of the (small group) chats, there was discussion on lease expiring, and would it be possible to extend the leases," she said, citing the 99-year leases for Housing Board flats.
"If you look at it from a sustainability viewpoint, that wouldn't be what we want to do," said Ms Indranee, adding that 99-year-old buildings were not designed to last longer than that, and may face issues such as leaking pipes and spalling concrete."
