Sharp increase in utility bill

I have been paying my utilities bill through GIRO for the past years. The average monthly bill was $400.

I was shocked to receive an email that the amount owing for Sep 2022 was over $2,000.

We don't hear about public schools incurring a loss.
We don't hear about the 100 billion dollars incurring loss throwing out like confetti to banks and large organizations with profits of millions.
We don't hear about Changi airport incurring losses!
They better come out with answers more hospitably because people are really sick of their degrading answers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HDB will incur S$270 million development loss from Central Weave BTO flats in Ang Mo Kio, says Desmond Lee; October 04, 2022 6:28 PM

There are also parents, who lower status to HDB resale, due to needing cash to aid their children who are over the ages of 30 to get a resale, because they cannot wait 4 years for a BTO. 75% of the population needed public flats and the authorities and only them are the ones who design and have all the control and say over BTO(should change to OTB-ORDER TO BUILD). Whose fault is this messiness now?

Some just needed to sell (luckily still got buyers). Not only mortgage rates went up, but so are the maintenance fees. Most condos' maintenance fees went up by between $240 to $600 per quarter.

Only the ministers do not have all these housing problems.

Even HDB now has tried to become a business venture than providing housing needs.

Those days when private properties were shooting up, the government brought in Executive Condos and DBSS.

Nowadays just keep topping rules and more rules or pay more money.

Instead of solving housing problems, it is either a business venture or those who genuinely need a roof, kept paying the brunt of it.
