\nNon-Malaysian work permit holders from the manufacturing sector are\u00a0no longer allowed to rent a whole Housing Board flat as of\u00a01st January 2017, and instead,\u00a0only allowed to rent rooms.
\nHowever, those currently renting were allowed to stay on until the expiration of their existing subletting approvals.
\nThis comes after the Housing and Development Board (HDB) on 1 June 2016 sent a letter to flat owners currently subletting their flats to non-Malaysian manufacturing work permit holders to advise the workers of the change to give them time to make the necessary preparations.
\nChinese daily Lianhe Zaobao reported that the rule change affects around 3.5 percent of HDB households that are subletting part or all of their flats. Notably, 52,394 HDB flats were wholly sublet as at 30 September. The HDB does not provide figures on the number of partially sublet flats.
\n\u201cThis revision in subletting conditions is part of the Government\u2019s longer-term plan to house non-Malaysian work permit holders in purpose-built dormitories and approved workers\u2019 quarters with facilities to better cater to their needs,\u201d said the HDB in responding to media queries.
\nMeanwhile, Malaysian work permit holders are still allowed to rent HDB rooms and flats \u201cdue to the close historical and cultural similarities between Malaysians and Singaporeans\u201d, explained HDB.
