2. You can borrow money from your friends and relatives
However
The bank is not allowed to disburse money or any credit
facility for the purchase of residential property (i.e. the 60%
or 80%, whatever the Loan-to-value requirements is) if you
cannot pay for the cash portion of the downpayment from
your own source of funds.

3. And in another way, if you qualify for a 80% loan
You have to fund the remaining 20% (minimum 5%
cash and 15% CPF) of the purchase price yourself.

4. The bank is prohibited from disbursing or lending you
the 80% if they are aware that you have borrowed
from any financial institution (regulated by the
authority or moneylender or any vendor's loan) the
required 20%.

7. However, corporations are not bounded by this rule
Because
Some corporations can lend you the downpayment. But then
they will be contravening another act as they are not licensed
money lenders or financial institutions, they cannot lend out
monies.

8. So
Strictly based on this definition, the only way to get a
loan to bridge this downpayment is to tap on informal
lenders - parents, relatives, friends.

9. So What Is Your Only Recourse?
It is possible that staff loans do not fall under this
category of “financial institutions” and they are not
lending to the public at large, and hence do not need
a license if they lend to their staff.
But
How many corporations are so generous to lend to
their staff the 20% downpayment?
