Super Singaporean accent
Celine Hereee I love it
Singaporean accent is very diverse. There are chinese/malay/indian singaporean accent.
3 room frat.
i also have it
His accent is Malaysian
For me, his english not bad as long can communicate n understand. At least he is able to provide a home for his family. 😬
Agreed
Lies again? Golden Globe
Nice frats u have!
Rainyblue Hamsters lmao
Haha its flats..
how much?
Y'all making fun of his pronounciation when y'all English also cui af
Forget the jumbo flat, the little baby boy is just too adorable! 😄❤️
Very spacious (2,000+sq ft), also no clutters around, very clean, still has plenty of room for a personal office,n gym equipments. Nice!
1:08, the 3 room fett and the 4 room fett combine together into jango fett
fuck off
🤣🤣🤣🤣
everybody seems to want a barn door in their house even though it doesnt fit the theme
Wow, you have a beautiful house... But your little one is the icing on the cake.. God he's so cute.. Was touching his sister's hair, aww
What are frats
Lol!
Flats
M W i believe is a loof ..
Loft* corrected myself
And collidors
however is jumbo flat really worth the price ??
Lucky family. Congratulations! You have a very beautiful home.
This family needs a pet. Like a cute dog haha
Chyori Jang can I adopt you as my pet
@@treepeenbawlz1934 FBI OPEN UP
Your relatives very clever stay with you
Love the minimalist design
Flats of healthy sizes like these should be built more if the Singapore government is serious about raising it’s birth rates. Not waste precious space building pathetically small Pigeon holes like those of Punggol where the home becomes so cramp after just having some basic furnitures and electrical appliances!
Hope hdb make more of these. The current offered 3 gen flats nt even as big. For 3 gen we need at least 5 rooms - one for couple, 2 for kids, 1 for parents and 1 for maid.
I can only dream i can be as lucky as you 😢😭
So sad the decor didn’t do justice at all with the size
Are jumbo flats still allowed ?
i wonder if along his collidoors he placed some potted colliflowers
Wow never thought of this! Malaysia should apply this on those old flats
He can't seperate the homes to rent out one whole flat for his retirement because he is only allowed to use one main door. The other door must be shut or sealed off
He's rich enough to break another wall and instal ka door
Not sure if it's even allowed legally. You can't just nilly nally make a jumbo into 2 units again.
feels like slavery, he should be able to do what he wants if he bought it
If anything, he should be able to rent those rooms out and he can use the rent of a few peeps to rent a condo further in town with just that
It is, please remember, in SG HDBs will never be truly yours. You are simply borrowing it for 90 years
@@dylanhughes5944 this is subsidised public housing bro.... if he wants to do whatever the wants and not be restricted, he can spend more and buy private housing
It's so interesting that flats become frats, and corridors become collidors
Samuel Tan haha its probably because he learn english only in his adulthood for work purposes hence the pronunciation isnt as accurate. Most adults that only started learning english for working , will have this issue, my dad too. Practice will make it better
Lol racist! Get lost! At least he knows 2 or more languages
It's so interesting that someone whose grammar skill is a wreck can mock people's pronunciation here.
its okay la ,
😁🤣😁
How to apply?
Basically landed property size but in one story, even better. And you get an awesome view
Ohh I envy the amount of space you have..
👍 Beautiful house brother!
1:09 "The 3 room FRAG, and the 4 room FRAG... becomes a Jumbo FRAG." He definitely sounds like Malaysian Chinese
he is, thats why the Malaysian relatives from Malaysia staying with him at the moment.
How much
What is a HDB?
What language is that?
A delightful clip.
Please take attention, any chinese singaporeans, who daily speak singlish, they will turn to normal english accent when do some formal speech at the office or in any government official events
Beautiful
What language is this?
How much sia
My family used to have a jumbo flat and it was v big
I would wanna live in your unique tree room frat!
Sorry but it's kind of difficult to follow.
smallleopard That's cuz he's speaking Singlish (Sinkapore English)
Eugene Ezekiel 😅
It was supposed to be 4 room flat but he says "4 room frat"
That's not Singlish, just bad English. Singlish can still sound accurate and nice.
2 frats combine to become a jumbo frat
nice flat. unique
Wah. A wally big frats.
I can see that this flat has a large carbon footprint
Fart Wars frat *
Why are 3 common rooms needed for such a small family?
Why are y'all so rude? He is from Brunei, I know because the girl is my best friend that I've known since n2 and her name is LIM Enyu and also an older brother
Just a tip, don't put peoples names on the internet when it is not required.
Really beautiful frat
Beautiful house and family 👪
That baby is super cute 😍
Will saying frats make me as lucky as you?
So empty what a waste of design potential
This is literally a dream. Like if u marry ur neighbour right, u get 2 flats n can just walk across to the next house, save 1 living room and kitchen
I want this house damn
.....frats.....frats......frats......frATS
At that time, the selling price was $103,000.
Woodlands not convenient the jumbo the $600+ you can get it 1900+sqf.. If central area got this big jumbo maybe cost double or more the price
Pretty good
I wouldn't say it increase value, but touch your heart, even landed don't have built in 2000sqft.
Nice flat and family. Love that it is uncluttered 👍
Cleaning is hell.
Ooooo my if I had this kinda space I'll design it all the way from scratch till it cost about a million dollars
Exactly. At least enough to qualify the term “gorgeous “.. for such a size
Just out of curiosity, What is the common communication language in Singapore? English? Mandarine? Cantonese?
E Kingsley English
English! There's a lot of languages as a result of having many races, and so English was just made the common language for communication:)
All of em
Singlish
They spend their money on the house itself rather than furniture
Awesome! Where is this? Im just wondering whether is this at Block 825 Woodlands Street 81
Got badminton or squash hall?? Lol 😆😆
192 sqm sia. Can do a lot.
How much in US dollars
Flip Baller 477831.63USD to 698369.30USD, range of 147sq m to 199 sq m
27000000
"manly"
Nice house
Is a empty building
I would have place few big mirrors on the walls to make the house looked bigger,chandeliers,victorian studded sofas,dinings arco standing lights just like my current 5rm flat.balinese themed bathrooms and certain walls painted charcoal like colour.
technically it's a 7 room flat..?
It is not technically, it is a 7room flat
Hang on there.... the value of the jumbo flat regardless will start decreasing after 25years. Technically, it will be worthed lesser by the time Mr Lim turn 60. Not a brilliant use of space though.
Your kitchen is smaller than some of the 4 room Hdb. I would rather have bigger kitchen than all these empty space, sorry. Not worth it.
fuusha 99 the kitchen could probably be from the 3 room flat
Their kitchen only use to cook instant noodle nia... sibeh worth it.
What else do you want to do in the kitchen other than cooking? Lmao
Aries Wu Thats you, not everyone.
fuusha 99 lmao their kitchen is bigger than my room
Not a single plant?
I have seen more greens in a desert.
nice eh
He Sounds more like a Malaysian .
Its time for hdb to look into these type of selfish small families that allow them to buy 3 units wen there r other budget families who rely need to own one. He can literally afford a penthouse or a landed.
1 jumbo frat!
The baby is cute🥺.

Fret not bcos you have a nice spacious place called home

Many comment I've read said it's very empty etc etc but in my opinion I love the simplicity and it's show how huge the flat is. The Malay own jumbo flat if u can see his flat had soo many furniture and its soo jam packed till I can see the jumbo flat despite its huge space look quite small. (BTW I'm a malay Singaporean)
why is it has to mentioned Malay? U meant their houses mostly messy with furnitures and unorganised ugly? All houses to each own lah..Diff ppl got diff style and liking. No need to mention race .
@@norainimohddin840 lmao... Why are you sooo sensitive... Weird.. Based on the video, the one who had alot of furniture is... Right! Malay owned... Why would I be racist with my own race😂😂
@@username22571 Not being sensitive but just curious .. Did I mentioned abt racist..🤭🤣 I know which video u were refering to...Clearly u haven't see much videos that are worse than that .. No one is asking whether u are a malay , chinese or Indian or whatever.. But ........ hahahaha! nak kasi satu dunia tahu ke bangsa ape...K Bye ! malas nak layan lagi sendiri fikir lah ya.
@@norainimohddin840 lmao hati tissue... I guess you are on your period... Will let you off then 🤡
@@username22571 yeah right u are a bigger 🤡🤡 indeed. Haha!
Are there Singaporeans that live in ground houses? Or all the people live in HDBs?
Antonius Raja yes there are some but it is very expensive as we have limited land there are Singaporeans who live in condominium and Sammy detached (sorry I kind of forgot how to spell it)
Semi detached i think?
$1m for this kind of house is worth it id even say $1.5 M too
for loom frats combine with tui loom frats = Jumpo Frat
After 99 years, it goes back to the government but hey it looks good
buffet = "Boo Feh" in singapore? lol
What’s the big deal .. still 99years.. after 30 years onwards value drip
