ACCORDING to the Housing Board, first-time applicants who have been unsuccessful for four times or more will be given an additional chance in the ballot for each subsequent unsuccessful attempt.
I have been unsuccessful in at least four exercises, and yet, the HDB tells me that I have been unsuccessful in only two attempts.
The HDB's definition of unsuccessful is 'not successful in the balloting'.
Those who have been given a number in the ballot but are yet unable to select a flat, because their numbers were so big or the quota had been filled, are considered 'successful'.
To me, the definition of 'unsuccessful' is when I have put in an application, paid a fee and got nothing out of it.
The HDB should consider situations such as mine when it reviews the current application process.
