Local resident Tan Ah Kow has reportedly begun taxidermy preparations to ensure he remains in his District 10 freehold unit until the sun implodes.

While leasehold "peasants" face the 99-year ticking time bomb, Mr Tan believes his property status exempts him from the basic biological necessity of dying.

"Freehold means forever leh, why you think I pay five million for this 40-year-old shoebox?" Mr Tan remarked while polishing his gold-plated toilet seat.

"If I die, the gahmen cannot take back land, I stay here become hantu also I win liao, stupid 99-year losers."

Real estate agents have praised his commitment, noting that "forever" is a legally binding term that definitely supersedes the laws of physics and urban redevelopment.

Property expert Gary Lim added, "He siao one, freehold or leasehold also same what, eventually all become MRT station or SAF training ground only."

The Ministry of National Development has yet to comment on whether ghosts require valid residency permits to haunt freehold estates.
