    FINALLY, we are able to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Although the tweaks this time are not very significant in substance, they are nevertheless a positive signal that the government is receptive and flexible in its review of the cooling measures vis-à-vis market conditions. It is certainly in the interest of the industry and Singapore to have a stable and healthy property market. Easing some restrictions which may have outlived their original intentions would help to ensure that the market is not inadvertently "frozen" beyond salvation.
