Proposal to Establish Master Database of Commercial Sublet Agreements

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.

Mr Chee Hong Tat: 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.
