I’ve been watching a lot of design videos in Singapore particularly of the HDB variety and I’ve found that most blocks are 20-30 floors. Those higher than this are a relative minority.

It occurred to me that 50+ Floor developments are becoming increasingly common in KV. Question is why is this necessary and will the town planning departments take accountability for flooding the market and creating this property overhang situation? It seems like the density per acre is almost higher than Singapore.

Buyers have a choice whether to buy or abstain.

As long it meets 'planning requirements', is left to developers how they want to dispose those units.

Caveat emptor .... buy and dont complaint later.

That’s a poor excuse because we here have a culture of not questioning how or why things are done a certain way. A lot of it is admittedly less exposure to what’s outside this country.

There’s nothing wrong in calling out poor planning or standards otherwise how does one improve.

That’s a complete lack of empathy for first time home buyers who bought in places like Cyberjaya or Sungai Buloh etc and see their equity fall by half.

Majority who held properties in such areas are mere speculators and NOT homeowners.

Everyone wants to stay in cities, earn a good income, enjoy amenities but land resources are limited.

If a developer is given 1 acre land to built residential in Bukit Beruntung, I doubt it will go beyond 5 storey.
