Bill tabled to vary HDB lease infringement penalties
Singapore
A BILL was tabled on Thursday that, among other things, proposes to vary the quantum of penalties that the Housing and Development Board (HDB) may impose in lease infringement cases, depending on severity.
If passed, the penalty will be capped at S$50,000. Currently, HDB may compulsorily acquire the flat or impose a penalty on the flat owners. The penalty is fixed for each type of infringement. The bill for first reading was introduced by Desmond Lee, Minister of State (National Development), on behalf of National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan.
