Singapore's HDB may seize flats over misleading or false information on ownership transfer


SINGAPORE, Oct 7 (The Straits Times/ANN) - Flat owners may have their flats seized by the Housing Board (HDB) if they intentionally make misleading or false statements when transferring flat ownership, following changes to a law that Parliament passed on Tuesday (Oct 6).

Currently, such compulsory acquisition is allowed only when flat owners deliberately make misleading or false statements for the purchase of flats, and not for the transfer of flat ownership.
