I mean the appeal against the 8k income ceiling to buy a new
hdb, and not the application for a new hdb. Anyone?
Below has one but not
the 8K.
If you read the following
messages you would feel that HDB actually does not care about the
income ceiling!
It is very
ridiculous!
It looks like there will
be no punishments for those who did not report the
actual income even those pple's companies have contributing CPF for
that staff!
If HDB wishes to
investigate then it can just ask them to show the CPF
statements. But it looks like nothing
happened.
Cite this example to
enquiry if you need to appeal against the income
ceiling.

Subject: HDB subsidised high income
tenant left poorer in long queue??

Dear Sir/Madam,
My friend recommended Mdm Seah Lye
Poh (NRIC No:S069xxxxH) to me for paring up to rent HDB 1 Room
flat. Mdm Seah said she can't get along with her currently flatmate
so she is requiring HDB to let her change co-tenant at Blk 9, North
Bridge Road #12-4166 S(190009).
Mdm Seah has been working in
Swissotel The Stamford Singapore (morning shift since 21 years ago)
and Swissotel Merchant Court Singapore(Night shift since 10 years
ago) as a House Attendent, therefore her income is more than
$2,000/- per month and both of the companies are contributing CPF
for her.
She also said that she was
actually not qualify to rent the above unit during Nov 2005,
because her income exceeded the limit set by HDB(HDB only set the
limited to $1,500/- per month at that time) , but the HDB HQ staff
told her don't show CPF statement even she was working and her
company was contributing CPF for her because she was above 55 years
old, therefore she reported that she was unemployed when she was
applying to rent the above unit.
When she was renewing the tenancy
for the above unit at Nov 2007, her income was still more than
$2,000/- per month, but the staff of the HDB Sims Branch suggested
her to report that she and her currently flatmate total income only
$800/- per month, so she did it and then continue to enjoy the
heavily subsidised(the lowest rent $33/month, rebate from SP bill
and Town Council) from government for more than 3 years.
May I know whether those above 55
years old citizens have to report their incomes when they are
applying to rent flats or renewing tenancies? Especially those
applicants who have high incomes at every month for many years
until now and the company has contributed CPF for
him/her!
If the answer is Yes then why your
staff told Mdm Seah to do like that?
Is below 55 years old co-tenant
has to report their income when renewing tenancy?
If yes then why your branch staff
suggested Mdm Seah to report that household gross income only
$800/- per month even Mdm Seah's flatmate was working (income was
more than $1,000/month) with CPF contribution and below 55 years
old when renewing tenancy at Nov 2007.
Can you let me know the answer as
soon as posible because I am worrying that if I paring up with Mdm
Seah to rent the above unit but finally the board take action to
against her then I would be affected!
If your answer is NO then I would
not understand why the government subsidised for this kind of high
income tenant to enjoy but left those low income citizens waiting
in the long queue for renting smallest flat?
Thank you!

Dear HDB,
Your staff really suggested the
tenant of the above unit to do so? Do you know about this
case?
And what will be the punishments
for the staff and tenant?
If this is a real case then I
think it is very unfair to other honest applicants, if your staff
really did that then I think it may be not the only case, please be
fair to all of the applicants, don't wait until people complain
then take action because it will make those poor people waiting for
long time to rent a unit from your board.
I look forward to your
reply.
Thank you.
