@fazli.rahmat: WHY ARE THESE HOUSES LEFT UNTOUCHED ?!?! 🤯 While exploring Mountbatten Road, I stumbled upon something that genuinely left me scratching my head. A row of old heritage bungalows quietly sits on an enormous piece of land, surrounded by modern developments, luxury homes and one of Singapore’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. Yet, despite the value of the land, these houses appear to have remained largely untouched for years. What fascinated me even more was the bungalow directly opposite at 760 Mountbatten Road. Built in the early 1900s, it forms part of Singapore’s Mountbatten Road Bungalow Conservation Area and was reportedly listed for more than S$60 million just a few years ago. While filming, I had the chance to speak to a friendly caretaker who shared that the house has been unoccupied for over a decade, and as far as he knows, there are currently no plans to redevelop it. I spent quite some time searching online, but surprisingly, there isn’t much documented about the history of these homes. So this time, I need your help. If anyone knows who lived here, why these houses were left as they are, or has old photographs or stories to share, I’d genuinely love to hear them. #abandonedplaces #forgottenplaces #explore #singapore #hiddengems

The longer they sit, the more they are worth.

Got chance previous owner died and willed the houses into a trust with the rule for it not to be demolished or sold. Subsequent generations didn’t do as well and might not be able to financially upkeep the home.

Govt should try to buy over and use all these abandoned private land to build the new BTOs instead of destroying more precious forests!!

Some expert can chime in. I think Lee Kong Chian’s family own a lot of land in Mountbatten area.

Only SLA, ICA & IRAS working together will have the answer. IRAS could check who is paying the annual property tax. ICA could check if the property tax payer is still a Singaporean and his/her whereabout, & SLA could check the property title owner name & particulars. The house is left vacant for pass 20 yrs, it may be a case of the owner has migrated or deceased and property passed onto children who may have migrated to. If u check BMSMA building owner are suppose to upkeep and maintain their property in good order, failing which BCA can issue an order to maintain the property.
