'Suits me very well': S'pore actor Thomas Ong moves into 2-room flexi flat

Singaporean actor Thomas Ong, 57, has moved into a two-room Flexi Flat, the smallest configuration offered by Singapore's Housing and Development Board (HDB). Designed for singles and senior citizens, the flat comprises one bedroom, one bathroom, one kitchen, a living and dining area, and a household shelter. Despite its compact size, Ong expressed his satisfaction with his new abode, stating that the small space has its advantages.

The actor revealed on Facebook that he has been living in the new HDB flat for over a month, describing the layout as follows: "As soon as you enter, the bedroom is just two steps away; another two steps away is the kitchen; yet another two steps is the bathroom." Ong acknowledged the limited space, but found it forced him to spend more time outside, often walking to the nearby mall for groceries or taking strolls for exercise.

Ong humorously noted that the tiny house allows him to complete chores quickly. "Want to vacuum the floor? It's done in an instant. Want to mop the floor? It's done in less than 10 minutes. The whole house is tidy and clean in less than half an hour," he wrote. The actor playfully referred to himself as "Lao Wang" (Old Ong) and concluded his post by stating that the tiny house suits him very well: "Whenever I reach home, I don't feel like going out at all." He also mentioned that he plans to share a video of the renovation process in the future.
