EUNOSVILLE

A comment:-

"I'm residing at Eunosville, where we just had the qualifying 75% vote for privatisation. It is indeed very sad. And I must say I was angered by Mr Lau's letter to the forum. Like some people may feel, I think he has no idea what it is like for us. Eunosville is indeed like a kampung. Neighbours' children play with each other and even the adults will stop to chat with each other under the block and while washing their cars. I don't think money can buy you such neighbours, such community spirit." Eunosville resident, 13 April.

How sad, it looks like the juggernaut that is en bloc will be rolling over his estate soon. Privatisation was the carrot which all the HUDCs bit - they were supposed to upgrade themselves by building a swimming pool, clubhouse etc. Instead, privatisation was just a wolf in sheep's clothing and turned out to be nothing more than a land-grabbing exercise, enforced downgrading, loss of community, a lowering of standard of living, loss of savings (for some) and the most important of all, loss of home. Knowing the hell other HUDCs have gone through, Eunosville should be very careful about how it proceeds. They have better safeguards in place than their forebears (I particularly like the 5 day cooling off period) -and more info at their fingertips.

The law ministry is thinking about tweaking the rules once more - lets hope they listen to the people and not just property agents. You can read about it here.

Of course, new rules and possible amendments to new rules do not apply to TC,
