Its hollow, if you attempt to drill a hole in it, thousands of maggots will start crawling out.

Must be careful where you drill, make sure its not a beam or something, buildings have fell because someone drilled the wrong hole. Also, certain areas of the flat is best left untouched, unless you don't plan to sell it in future. Your buyer will point it out to you, and ask for a big fat discount.

Need to apply drilling license to HDB first.
You must use a type approved drill with PSB sticker.
The drill bit must be certified masonry bit by PSB.
The bolt you want to use must conform to BCA regulations.
since you are drilling ceiling, you using ladder, ensure this are safety certified. -

To drill a whole, you must fill up an application and send it to HDB. It will take 3 working days to process.
Try searching for that application form, www.google.com is your best friend.
