We have received a couple of questions concerning the legality of our privatization process, below is the reply from our lawyer :

Dear All
PRIVATISATION OF SHUNFU HUDC ESTATE
To question the legality of the privatization process is to question the legality of the legislation providing for the privatization process i.e our Land Titles (Strata) Act.
It is every home owner’s right to be able to upgrade his title deeds i.e privatization is his application to replace the home owner’s HDB lease (his title deeds) with a superior title deed i.e private property title deeds i.e Subsidiary Strata Certificate of Title.
If the resident dare go so far as to accuse the Protem Committee of carrying out illegal acts then that is defamatory and the Protem Committee members have a right to sue the resident concerned for the injury to the Protem Committee’s reputation.
The Protem Committee are hardworking volunteers doing a public service for their neighboring residents i.e assisting in asset enhancement.
It is unfortunate if the minority of the residents for their own private agenda tries to damage the Protem efforts and injure their reputation.
Anyway, as the requisite 75% consent has been obtained, the efforts of these minority owners to put the clock back are obviously futile.
