Facebook user Prabu Ramachandran shared how a couple who claim to be sleeping in the streets because they can’t apply for lodging in HDB, knocked on his friend’s door at Yew Tee trying to sell them household items.
He said that the woman was married thrice and has previously had HDB flats, where she BTOed twice and got a resale flat once.
He added that this is the man’s first marriage and he hasn’t applied for any HDB public housing before.
Prabu said that the couple doesn’t have an NRIC or passport with them, with the woman claiming that she lost hers three times and replaced it twice; the third time she went to replace it, she got allegedly rejected for repeatedly losing it.
The man on the other hand, lost his NRIC twice and replaced it once, but has no money to replace it the second time.
Both of them claimed to be earning about $40 per day as a cleaner washing dishes at a market place in Ang Mo Kio.
Here is what he said
