Seletar, condos amidst landed
Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Minister for National Development (a) how many HDB blocks are more than 40 years into their 99-year lease; (b) what will be the value of an HDB flat once it reaches the end of its 99-year lease; (c) what is the average number of flats undergoing redevelopment under the Selective En Bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) each year for the past 10 years; and (d) whether the pace of SERS is fast enough to redevelop all HDB blocks before they reach the end of their lease. Mr Khaw Boon Wan (The Minister for National Development): The Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) is part of the Government?s estate renewal strategy for older estates. It allows intensification of land use and revitalises such estates through new developments. At the same time, it offers an opportunity for flat owners to buy a new replacement flat with a fresh 99 year lease. In the last 10 years, SERS has benefitted the owners of about 18,000 flats. As the name suggests, the identification of suitable precincts for SERS is selective. The selection of sites and pace of SERS will depend on factors such as their redevelopment potential, and the availability of replacement sites for rehousing and other resources. Currently, there are about 300 HDB blocks with 31,000 flats which are more than 40 years into their 99-year flat leases. Like all leasehold properties, HDB flats will revert to HDB, the landowner, upon expiry of their leases. HDB will in turn surrender the land to the State. [Source: Singapore Parliament Reports]

Are Some Geomancers misleading you?
Clue: "Many of the so called Feng Shui products were produced not too long ago. And many of them are modern commercial products sold under the guise of Feng Shui." Remember that your parents and grand-parents time don't have such products like the three-legged toad, crystals and many other useless products... When the buying, stops. The selling, can!

Horse Year - 31 Jan 2014 to 18 Feb 2015
The Water Wealth or Current Prosperity sector for Year 2014 is at the South. Here, one may consider placing a water feature especially if this is the balcony cum living room area. But a water position may not be appropriate if this is a bedroom, storeroom or kitchen.. etc... Do take note that if a sector is considered auspicious; an alternative is to have an activity (or activity in that area).

Horse Year - 31 Jan 2014 to 18 Feb 2015
This Lunar Year:- North-West is influenced by #5 = Misfortune & Sickness. A concern if this is the bedroom (bed-location) or open spaces where activities are to be carried out e.g. the living room. This Year's wealth sector #8 is at the South of the home or office. The Year of the Horse:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2014.htm

Sha Qi or Poison arrows?
I had mentioned previously, a test of whether a home is concerned with a Sha Qi or poison arrow is to imagine if "a run-away vehicle could in a straight-line - smash into the home"... In this case, less lightly for the house marked in yellow as "A". But is more highly likely for house marked as "B". If one follows the purple line....

Has the period changed?
This is one of the situations where; perhaps; you really need an expert to be there ON-SITE to do a judgement call. Especially since the new owner(s) are perplexed with the period since you have plotted every of the relevant period chart. Unfortunately, such a huge chunk or mass of words, sentences... can't give a clue, here. "Let's be physicial" = ONSITE : especially the human sight & smell...

Blks 780, 780A to G Woodlands Crescent (Dew)
This estate Blocks 780, 780A to 780G is close to the Woodlands Industrial estate TOP recently. The exterior walls and the interior passage-ways also spot a greenish colour. Shown in the photos... workers were feverishly trying to work on the common property which you can see is not even completed, yet.

Made deposit for new apartment today, was it safe?
Frankly, there is no "Encyclopedia Britannica" for such situations. And there are so many varying opinions. For example, even during the Chinese 7th month; some have booked a house or a car during that month. While others are fearful to do so.
