HDB also give 2 big timber door... I cant even open my door fully due to space constraint...

That is why i was thinking changing to PD door...

but after listening to so many negative feedback... I am holding back...

Any others got other option for bathroom door beside bi-fold and pd door??

nope

we just removed the wooden door

the frame was left behind and they painted over it

unless you are prepared to redo the flooring/tiles as the frame goes right into the floor.

the sliding door is just built on the outside wall of the toilet with the track running above

After my reno completed I hated the swing/slide door so much I told my contractor to remove it and install a wooden bi-fold with frosted glass. Now my friend, who also completed his reno is very very tempted to do the same thing.

The door was from swingslide.com.sg, although my contractor called it a pd-door but the sticker was swingslide.com.sg. They advertise on the website that the door is silent, that's a joke as I hated it because of the loud noises it made, was afraid the whole house would wake up a night whenever somebody would visit the toillet

Indeed, the door hangs from the top rail. It moves pretty smoothly and silently.. Durable is the question. But to be honest, the plastic slide/swing mechanism is very likely to be less durable then the wooden door. Of course, wood may rot after 10-20 years but in my case the shower I am not showering next to door and have a glass shower screen so I think the durability will be much better then the PD door design. A little bit of maintenance/varnishing from time to time and it would last a lifetime ;)
