Letter To The Papers - Ethnic Quotas Not Applicable To Duxton Flats?

This is the letter I sent to TODAY paper re HDB's latest Balance Of Flats sales.

"About 40 or so units at the much coveted Pinnacle@Duxton estate are available under the latest HDB Balance Of Flats Sales exercise. These flats are open to buyers from all races. From the last sale however, it seemed that no more flats were available to Chinese applicants. I have Chinese friends who were then not able to secure a unit based on restrictions under the HDB's ethnic quota policy. Did the HDB lift these restrictions for the current sale? If so, under what circumstances is this policy aimed at ethnic and social integration flexible?"

It sort of riles me that the HDB plays these games with us.
