Submission to STB by Sales Committee (ST) was done on time STB had 6 months to resolve and they failed and breached the Act that was passed by Parliament on 19th October 2004 and assented to by the President on 4th November 2004.

Today in last moment and as instructed by High Court withing few hours deliberation STB the accused become judge and made decision in retaliating to Sales Committee in saying “Sales Not Done In Good Faith” and rejected the sale. (Note in 6 months STB was unable to make decision). Their decision cannot be contested in High Court or Court of Appeal at all due to last minute decision and STB knowledge that developer will not seek extension due to the poor economic situation in real estate across Singapore. Due process of the law was not carried out as even developer should have been ordered to wait until all appeal has been exhausted. Basically what we have here it is decision made by STB that cannot be challenged in High Court. Today grave injustice has been carried out against majority of residents and let it be known it is the STB who carried out grave injustice today. Regretfully STB decision has killed hopes of majority to be able to sell home at good price and to move on and improve life and find better place to live. Commercially Tampines district has lost largest development in East and new development of 1500 modern new homes, new residents and millions of dollars in development.

JUSTICE NOT CARRIED OUT
