Buying a new HDB Flat

A Singaporean who worked in China for nearly 10 years. While in China, be bought a private property. He sold it on returning back to Singapore, after completing his contract.

He is barred from buying a new HDB flat due to the following condition. I find this condition to be unfair to him. I advised him to consult his Member of Parliament.

Ownership / Interest in Property
You, your spouse, any occupiers listed in the Application Form or their spouses must not own or dispose any other flat, house, building or land* or have an estate or interest at any time within 30 months before the date of application, or between the date of the application and the date of taking possession of the new flat.

* includes but is not limited to HUDC flats (whether privatized or not), properties acquired by gift, properties inherited as beneficiaries under a will or as a result of the Intestate Succession Act, private properties, commercial properties and industrial properties, as well as properties owned / acquired / disposed through nominees regardless of whether any of these properties are located in Singapore or overseas.
