Can someone tell me why there are so many RULES and REGULATIONS in SG

We are just some pitiful people who stay in match box houses ... and all we ask for is easy system to make daily life more "enjoyable". Ever since we own our new place, then I know there are many things u have to keep 1 eye shut!

First is a housee with defects that never get clear despite several submission of defect list... I am just so sick of contacting the stupid HDB, the contractor who promise to return my spare key never did. Heng we gave him pad lock key.

Next we realized there is lines on the ceiling that look like water leakage... ok... close 1 eye... and of all the ceiling, 1 small ceiling in the master bedroom was not plaster properly... ok close 1 eye... then out of nowhere, one fine day when I was clearing the rubbish at the rubbish chute, I saw a crack on the exterior wall just below my unit... Woh so dangerous to see... best if close 1 eye... then lately they send a survey form... my chance to shoot them...but I doubt they will do anything to it.

In the survey form, they ask a question on naming of the place. They ask if a name as such would give more prestige to the place. Of course I say YES... but I dun think by having a nice name make your living place more atas. Why I say so... cos our car park is the most special one in Punggol, I think sooner will see more of car park like this.

There are over 300 units yet they build a stupid car park that can only park like 250 cars. Below the car park they have a 24 hours coffee shop and your friendly sing song supermarket... SO they expect u to walk here and buy ur barang barang and use a trolley to push home... no OUTSIDE car allow... why I say so... cos this stupid car park is chargeable all day long and all week long, it operate 24 by 7... even on Sunday and PH... ok that's still not the worse.

All the lot are painted white... but there is a red sign board that says SEASON PARKING ONLY AFTER 10.30PM. Damm if u come and visit me u cannot stay over 10.30pm.. cos your car will ganna summon... Just before we realize this stupid season parking thing, we ganna one summon of 50 bucks even though we tear a overnight parking coupon.

I manage to get this summon waived and I ask them what if I have family and friends who wants to come stay over 10.30pm or overnight. Their "friendly" reply was, please stick to our rules and regulation. Please advise your friends and family to park at a nearby car park.

Then I just bought a season parking for my vehicle... as advise by the super "friendly" poster at the HDB, please choose GIRO so that cut down waiting and q system. So the obedient me do so loh... just 2 days ago... I received a call from HDB informing that my giro application is rejected because I am not the owner of the car. And the season parking is given to priority for home owner of the place. Then I ask, what shall I do, they gave me a "friendly" advise!, PARK UR CAR ELSEWHERE.
Then I write an email to appeal. I ask if they are expecting me to park my vehicle else where and walk home just because I am not the owner of the vehicle and doesn't the home owner be given priority? I plead them please take into consideration that I have a young kid and I dun want to weather the storm and rain.

Today I received their reply... I was surprised why they reply so fast... Cos they just copy and paste their priority q system and stuff... end of the message is still I am not the car owner so they cannot sell me the giro thingy... and best of all, they advise me to CHANGE NAME for the vehicle to get the priority q for the season parking and giro!

Wat a joke of the day. Would u do a name change just because U need their F**King car park lot? I m just so fed up with this stupid system. We are just staying at some highly govt subside flat and need not set such atas rules for our area. I rather they just simply brand us as NORMAL de HDB flat.

Agnes Thong said...

huh, oni 250 parking lots??!! what if every household have a car, the rest park where if carpark full. sometimes i really wonder how HDB draws up the plan before they build. my place at sengkang is completely opp, two big multi-story carparks for 9 blks and oni abt 40% full. first time heard of season-parking oni aft 10.30pm, really lame of HDB.

do u mind telling/pm-ing me which place this is? im looking ard for flats currently

Lurves Sunday said...

urs is the underground carpark????
think they are stricter....

but they should maybe make it like one household can buy one season parking lor, instead of the car owners can buy only.. some households maybe have two cars..and they are both car owners.

they are simply stupid... i went to the hdb to buy season parking they say can sell up to max 3 mths, but when i go to axs i can choose to purchase max 12 months! But in the end I purchase 3 mths first...

Puroland Ang said...

mine is not underground carpark... its those very traditional carpark that is build on its own... dun know why they cannot build more storey to make more lot... the best of all they make the 1st level very high, u have to drive up a slope... why make so high because accomodate the height for big lorry from Sing Song loh...

Then the designer also damm smart, they predict will have big lorry from Sing Song rite but the make the road 2 lanes only. Then every morning the Sing Song truck have to reverse all the way from the entrance of the carpark! If one cookoo driver take his own sweet time to reverse, all the cars coming out from carpark have to wait lor... Brilliant rite!

Sometimes I really pity those staying in lower level... cos the smell from the zhi cha store really stink from like 5pm onward till midnight... I can smell from the carpark, I can imagine those staying in lower level really dun need to eat liao... smell until full! Then every morning the Sing Song ppl come unloading, smell the fishy stuff also smell till full.

hey how com im not surprised by ur blog? haha...this is SG. So its the norm for the gov dept to give u a "standard" ans instead of answering ur qn directly. Moral of the story? MAKE IT BIG. Is there a TV show like 前线追踪 now? If hav, call them. Or write to any newspapers or ST forum. Hahaha...the only way to make these depts "work" is to make it public den they will action. If not, they juz shake leg & forget abt it. :p
