ksbride, at that time, my flat already renovated and got the key already, but i and him are under fiance and fiancee scheme. we have to produce rom cert, in case no rom cert and there is a break up, the flat have to surrender to hdb. under the hdb law, if there is a break up of fiance and fiancee scheme, the owner can replace either party name by an occupants. when we apply that time, his parents are under occupants. so after that, i suspect his parents and him have planned all ago to trick me into applying a flat with them. the 5% penalty is 10/20% downpayment
