I bet you RP has better first hand information than you do,
dude. They have first hand accounts and they have access to the
letters given to the residents.
What you've touched on is just the icing on the cake.
Rock^Star,
My uncle lives in Block 323, Clementi Ave 5 ie one of the 3 SER
blocks at Clementi Ave 5. So, I have the access to the SER package
and letter from the HDB.
RP was invited by Mr Tong who had just bought a re-sale flat in
the SER/Enbloc for the meeting. RP was not well-received by the
other owners at the meeting and these owners do not want to
politicse the issue and they only want dialogue with the HDB for
better compensation and financing.
There are a number of other options for these owners.
PS : Yes, I bet that you have better information and you
MISTAKENLY believe that the compensation value of a 4-room flat at
the Clementi Ave 5 is $294,000 instead of the accurate $490,000 by
the HDB.

Please refer to the HDB url link for the details and accurate
infomation of the SER flats at Clement Ave 5 that I posted in an
earlier post.
