Fyi, think the land was sold by HDB to the company building temple cum columbarium, not NEA or URA.

Is this fair? We waited for 3 years to find out that this is what we are getting? If this is a business decision by HDB, at least be upfront from the beginning. Then those of us uncomfortable will not opt in from the start. 

Contacted HDB but they couldn't give us an answer or solution. We heard the so-called already-stated-in-the-booklet-temple-could-be-used-for-columbarium-purposes story. But why is the clause in such small prints that not many people actually realised it was there? 

So what's next for us? Accept that we are plain unlucky? If don't like, just forfeit our 5% deposit and life goes on? Is this the direction that HDB is going?
