Cheo Chai ChenLim Hng Kiang

Mr Cheo Chai Chen asked the Minister for National Development whether the Housing and Development Board allows supermarket tenants to partition and sublet part of their unit to sell cooked food.

Mr Lim Hng Kiang: Supermarkets in HDB estates are of varying sizes, ranging from about 300 sq m to 5,000 sq m. For the larger supermarkets, HDB allows tenants to sublet a small portion of the supermarket space for the sale of pre-cooked food/snacks for off-premises consumption. This is provided the tenant fulfills HDB's criteria for subletting.
