44 Mr Saktiandi Supaat asked the Minister for National Development (a) how many (i) HDB flats and (ii) private residential units are presently tenanted to six unrelated people who are not from the same family unit; (b) what is the profile mix of the tenants of such units by (i) citizenship, (ii) age group and (iii) occupation; and (c) whether the temporary easing of the rental occupancy cap until end-2026 will significantly affect rental prices inadvertently.

Mr Desmond Lee: This Question has been addressed in the oral reply to the Parliamentary Questions on the Temporary Relaxation of Occupancy Cap, on 9 January 2024.
