If I buy 5 or 5A Pillai Road, does it mean I don’t own the whole house, and is it still considered landed?

Transacted prices for homes on Pillai Road can be viewed using the research tools and recent transaction data available on EdgeProp Singapore. Pillai Road consists mainly of landed properties.
When you see addresses like "5 Pillai Road" and "5A Pillai Road," it means the original land parcel or house has been subdivided into separate, legally titled homes. If you purchase either "5" or "5A," you will own only the specific house and land corresponding to your address, not the whole original plot. Unless you buy both titles, you do not own both houses.
Yes, these are still considered landed properties. Each subdivided address remains a landed home with its own land title and is not a strata unit like in a cluster or condo. This subdivision is common in Singapore to allow redevelopment and to maximise land use, but each house remains a stand-alone landed property with full ownership of its respective portion of the land.
