Comment on Property agent commission in Singapore: How much should I pay? by Chan

Hi, 99.co, You might wish to edit and update your blog post to up the $3500 range to $4000.. Tenant now should be paying even rental is $4000 and 2 years lease.. If they wish to engage a tenant agent for their services, they should appreciate their efforts and pay. Just like we, the landlords we paid our agents for their hardwork and marketing fees. Ended up, the landlord's agent was asked to split the commission with tenant's agent?? This has to be improve and change.. If tenant cant appreciate their agent service and not willing to pay, dont engage then. Thanks

Singaporeans still work and play in the prime area, while living in the suburbs. Our tax money can be better used elsewhere other than providing the extra subsidy to fulfill unnecessary aspiration of some.

This is especially true for online delivery of food like Grab food etc. One reason is to expedite the flow at the entrance of condos hence adding risk to the condo security. How best can we reduce this risk without affecting the flow into the condos ?
