Retail grouping seeks landlords' help for tenants hit by virus outbreak

Singapore

THE Singapore Retailers Association (SRA) is calling on landlords to support their retail tenants in this difficult time, through measures such as rent waivers, rent rebates, and allowing shorter hours of operation.

"A lot of retailers are feeling the pinch and they cannot take it," SRA president R Dhinakaran told The Business Times. Several SRA members have already said that they are unable to pay rent due to the fall in sales.
