    NEW home sales sank in February in the absence of major new launches. Chinese New Year festivities and the declining inventory of unsold new homes also dampened sales during the month, analysts said.

    "Some developers were holding back their new project launches until the current wave of Omicron Covid-19 infections has subsided," said Nicholas Mak, head of research and consultancy at ERA Singapore.
