<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->IN LAST Saturday's article, 'Condo units turned hotels', it was reported that rooms in at least four condominium developments were being rented out on a daily basis for as little as $40 per day.
Some condo units are near 'blue zones', which are unofficial areas designated for the flesh trade. This will encourage pimps to rent such rooms on a daily basis and sub-let them on an hourly basis to circumvent the prohibition on budget hotels renting out rooms by the hour.
I hope the Urban Redevelopment Authority will take this into consideration when assessing such arrangements. Chin Kee Thou
