Singapore's Housing Development Board (HDB) is a government subsidized flat provided to almost 80% of the Singaporeans and most of the time they are binding rules & regulations while living at these flats. I was browsing through the HDB's Website today and found an interesting fact about keeping of pets within HDB's flats.
HDB allowed pet animals such as fish, hamsters, rabbits and birds to be kept at home, but for two particular pet, dogs & cats, they do have special ruling on them.
HDB only allowed one dog to be kept as pet per flat and they have to be a approved breed as suggested by HDB. This comes into consideration that if this was not being controlled, it might cause nuisance and disturb the neighbours. Below are the 62 approved breed by HDB.
Meanwhile, it is less fortunate for cat lovers. HDB does not allowed cats to be kept at flats Explanation is that cats are hard to be confine within the flat and can cause nuisance by shedding of their fur, defecating / urinating in public areas and disturbance to the neighbours with their "meows".
