SINGAPORE - It looks too good to be true at first glance – more than 1,000 owners of five-room and bigger HDB flats have “sold” their units and reaped average “profits” of $236,000 each but are still living in their homes.
They enjoy these perks because they did not make an outright sale of their homes but just the tail-end portions of their remaining leases.
