HDB gave woman $18,000 in error......

Former hawker Mdm lee ah muey,75, wishes she could turn back time and perhaps reverse a decision that has led to an $18,000 headache. Four years ago, she gave up her stall selling cloths at Hougang Ave 1 hawker. Mdm Lee surrendered her stall in October 2003, in return of $18,000 compensation from the HDB. Then last September, an officer from the NEA came knocking. It cited a clause in the agreement Mdm Lee had signed in 1993 that she would not be entitled to any compensation for the stall.
