Scope for short-term private home rentals in Singapore: Lawrence Wong

Singapore

THERE is some scope to allow short-term accommodations in Singapore that are subject to the proper safeguards and controls, said National Development Minister Lawrence Wong in parliament on Tuesday.

He was responding to a question by member of parliament Henry Kwek (Nee Soon GRC), who asked if Mr Wong's ministry would consider working with operators like Airbnb to find a way to regulate private homes being rented out.
