"It's pointless to engage in legal suits after trials in the High Court and the Court of Appeal had ruled for us against the Minister granting extension of time to the developers to avoid paying LAD."Light Residences resident Jack Soo said: "We are asking nicely for an amicable full settlement of our LAD. Contractually we are in the right, and legally the Court sided with us."They appealed to the Housing and Local Government Ministry to protect the interests of home buyers as a higher priority being a matter of duty on the part of a government and a regulator of the housing industry.
