RENTAL cost has always been one of the top challenges for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore.
So when it was announced last October that industrial land and properties under the Housing Development Board (HDB) will be transferred to JTC Corporation, it was no surprise that some tenants and lessees expressed concern.
