A number of people seemed biased against Seng Kang/Punggol area, coz it is too far from the city centre, and it is not fully developed yet.
This ELLL_DORADO forumer keeps saying "Seng Kang sarks" and also dragged the even less developed Punggol area into the mud too. He persists in his behavior, even after repeated rebuttals by a good number of people. Hahaha!
I'm thinking he's probably a loser who had unrealistic views, or did not do his research properly, and he probably bought a house in Seng Kang in the past, then sold it at a loss, and moved to the more expensive Tiong Bahru area (he claims to be staying there now). So he thinks the world owes him a living now. Caveat emptor! Buyer beware! Know what you're getting yourself into, and take responsibilities for your own decisions. =)
Another forumer, chelsea fan, made the following comments, which I find very insightful:-
Bishan was an eerie estate when it first launched in 1987 with graveyards all around near RI and plenty of empty land despite the location.
With a stroke of a pen by the planners , the estate become [one] of the [most] sought after with the highest income earners amongst all HDB estates.
All the future leaders gather in Junction 8 in school uniforms having lunch or doing projects in library.
Punggol & Sengkang will be next lifestyles' living estate with tranquillity in the near future.
I particularly like the line "the future leaders gather in Junction 8 in school uniforms having lunch or doing projects in library". Funny and yet true. Hahaha!
When Punggol develops fully into a sea side town, I'm sure it'll be nicer than East Coast Park. Under the Master Plan, Punggol will have a lot more facilities here. Club Houses, Punggol Marina, Golf driving range, Sports Centre, Sea food restaurants along the coast, and a LRT system that takes you all the way to the sea front!
At the end of the day... Home is where the heart is.
It is not an investment to be measured in dollars and cents. :)

you can never go wrong with property - it's just a matter of time before singapore runs out of space land and prices skyrocket, barring CBRE exposure in your district.
Yes, I agree with you.
Bishan was a graveyard area, but it is so popular now. During the last property boom, Bishan was famous for having the most expensive HDB unit.
And Punggol will be great too, coz it's a combination of modern lifestyle + sea view! =)
