A 57-year-old man has bought a small flat for S$140,000. He obtained the home through a balance flats scheme. The man, a former actor, spent less than S$80,000 on renovations.

He had previously lived in larger flats. His new home is a two-room flat with a floor area of 409 square feet.

Further details about his decision to downsize are available from an interview he gave to a publication, including his thoughts on his new living arrangements.
