Debated in Parliament on 6 Mar 2026.
Mr Kenneth Tiong Boon Kiat asked the Minister for National Development (a) whether the Ministry will consider establishing a master database of all commercial sublet agreements; and (b) whether the Ministry will mandate lodging of sublet agreements with HDB as a condition for tenancies, to enable evidence-based policy-making on business costs instead of relying on anecdotal feedback.
This question was addressed in the Ministry of National Development's reply to the question asked by Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong on 2 March 2026.
