A netizen saw this advertisement online offering a common room in Sengkang for short-term stay at $55 per night or $380 weekly:

Its description reads:
“Fully furnished spacious common Single/double room with air con, bed, wardrobe with shared bathroom for short and long term rent in clean and quiet environment..Check in after 2pm . Check out before 12 noon. Extra person @ extra charges will be provided a single bed with mattress, pillow, blanket or comforter and clean quality bed sheet. All rooms are solely to yourself with secure Lockable Security and fully furnished with a/c.”
He has brought the matter to the attention of Minister of State for National Development Tan Chuan-Jin on his Facebook page who replied that it is not allowed and he will be looking into it.

You are right. Those netizens are really very nasty. Want to break the ricebowls of foreigners who want to rent out their rooms.

I hope HDB is not alerted to these houses as well

If its a local Singaporean, then Well Done ! Pappies complain locals not entrepreneurial enough. But if everything also cannot, how to start developing entrepreneur spirit?

Do you want your neighbour to rent his house out like a transit hotel? Every night there are strangers walking in and out of the house. What if those foreigners commit crimes?

So many ways to earn money, but want to do it in this way. *Sigh

Not everyone have ideas on how to earn extra income. Since housing is the biggest expense for most, might as well put it to good use.

As for your point about strangers walking in and out of neighbors flat.....not much difference if they rent out to a foreign family who invite their friends, families and kampong folks to stay. Or worse still, some have foreign workers, loud and noisy. At least if tourists come and stay, they will FO after short stay so even if very jialat, only short time, unlike long term farked up neighbors

Pinoy?

Also, not sure why he/she would want to upload pictures of potted plants. Was that really necessary?
