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:

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.

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.
