From 2024 .. it used to be biannual and bto 3 times a year now instead of 4.

I am aiming for sbf because of the shorter waiting period, either 2025 to 2026 .. so many units available at queenstown area for the previous bid ..

BTO is good, but the waiting time is too long .. the previous one had tanglin .. but have to wait until 2029 ..

Yes the next sbf is on Feb 2025 .. i was actually aiming for the May one prior to this .. and they decided to have it once a year .. arggg

Yeah .. no doubt .. but with the stricken regulations, it should be easier. From what I saw, the rate was below 1 for some places .. not too bad .. haha

Yes .. rental is crazy now .. I think I have spent around 100k on rental .. I have contributed to about 33% of a bto

Haha .. its different for my case .. my wife is an ex-malaysian .. she converted to expedite buying a hdb .. its kinna my fault for all these delays .. so she had to convert ..

Haha true .. and it seems to benefit women more .. more subsidies for working mom

Yes legit. My insurance guy told me .. I am under GE.

What you have to do is to be in malaysia every 90 days .. as long as u step in malaysia .. and leave .. the count starts.

So example, you stayed in sg without stepping into malaysia for 100 days .. you're not eligible for insurance claim .. on the other hand .. if you go out on the 100th day .. and return to sg .. your 90 days count restarts again .. so if anything happens, for instance, in the 40th day .. u still can claim

To be safe just get a medical card .. it would cost around 1k .. depending on your age..

Not sure .. haha but should be ba

90 days is applicable to medical card too. What I was saying was to get a medical card in sg .. not the one in malaysia if you wan to be safe.

Any update from any applicants so far? Just hit my 6 months mark ..

Did anyone write in to ask before? I guess most of us here are men, ladies seem to have better privilege over us. Most of them got it within 6 to 8 months.

Pending status .. haha .. well, true .. they are not in a rush .. but I am .. need to get a pigeon hole ASAP .. renting is not feasible in a long run .. crazy hdb prices coming up ..

Likely they will still offer u ba .. very unlikely they gonna kick u out .. ure rich to pay taxes .. haha

Well, if they don't, they gonna lose a huge chunk of cpf..why would they want that? Haha

Guys, my status is still pending but with 4 lines. I was informed that 4 lines is an indication of my application is being processed. Is this true? And, there's an in-principal approval number under my CPF. Anyone can confirm this?

Through the app, click on CPF >> medisafe .. then they will show the status update there. I didn't know until I was informed by my wife who surfs xiaohongshu. But no idea is it true. So just want to confirm.

I have been in Sg for almost 8 years .. haha .. also coz I tag to my wife I guess.

Is it true? Haha .. but it seems I do have a CPF account linked to my in principle approval reference, not sure how it works.

Singpass app to log in to my cpf.

Yeah sure. Six months of waiting. Time to get myself a pigeon hole .. haha

Ya .. I may only do it in the future in malaysia. A peasant like me wouldn't make it big anyway. I would be contented to have a shelter

No, I don't. But how long have they been married? I have been staying with my wife since I came. So, both of us are registered under the same address for years.
