What a damn stupik MP. People rent out to earn money with their legitimate lease, you wan buy back and stop people income.

Lppl, then you buy back and rent out lower? HDB rent below market and too all f&b, then the current f&b biz toh?

Just free market it and do more enforcement and plain requirements like IC registration, clear glass and license + heavy fine.

What a dumb MP, FAILED not even economics but basic common sense

 

[lightningflash]

meanwhile got more important problems never go solve

cos only massage parlours able to afford the rents.

1 hour can earn $100-$200 easily. even if is totally clean type and no happy endings, one hour also at least $68-$80 for normal massage.

normal retail shops you think able to earn that kind of money ?

Residents concerned about vice activities at Tanjong Pagar Plaza, MP aims to ‘refresh’ retail mix​

Community Latest News
The high concentration of massage parlours and beauty salons has made parents uneasy, said MP Foo Cexiang.

Several residents have expressed fears that this would affect the building’s reputation, said the area’s MP Foo Cexiang in a Facebook post on Saturday (20 Sept).

Parents ‘uneasy’ when children pass by these establishments​

Mr Foo, an MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC, noted that there are also several pre-schools in TPP, with parents feeling “uneasy” when their children go past the massage parlours and beauty salons.

While the majority of these businesses operate legitimately, a few of them are “casting a bad light” on the building, he pointed out.

This results in reputational harm as residents, customers and potential businesses are turned away, he said, adding:

Police have conducted vice raids in Tanjong Pagar Plaza​

The police have conducted checks and raids on several of these massage establishments in recent months, Mr Foo said.

Those found guilty of engaging in vice activities have been dealt with, and the police will ramp up enforcement action.

However, action is usually taken only against the masseurs and business owners, but not the shop owners, as they are less likely to be complicit in the vice activities.

Thus, the shop owners may just rent their units to other business owners in similar trades, Mr Foo added.

Only such businesses can afford high rental​

The MP explained that it’s “not so straightforward” to address the long-standing problem, as although TPP is owned by HDB, it has “limited regulatory levers” over a significant number of the shop owners in the building.

This is because these owners bought their shops from HDB in the 1990s for leases of about 80 years, he said.

As they want to maximise their rental income, only a handful of businesses can afford to pay such high rent — massage establishments and beauty salons, among others.

This is due to the “relatively low footfall” in the building, Mr Foo added.

MP aims to ‘refresh’ Tanjong Pagar Plaza retail mix​

In an effort to find a solution, Mr Foo intends to “refresh the retail mix” in TPP, he said.

This week, he met representatives from the police, HDB, TPP Traders Association and Town Council to discuss a strategy.

Firstly, he asked the police and the Ministry of Home Affairs to consider increasing their upfront regulatory levers over such establishments.

He also asked HDB and the Ministry of National Development to consider buying back the leases of shops. This is “so that HDB is better able to curate the trade mix of shops and respond to resident needs”, he added.

To that end, he has already raised a Parliamentary Question about this for the upcoming Parliament sitting.

Finally, the TPP Traders Association will think about drawing potential businesses to open in TPP, “potentially some lighter F&B outfits”, so that the complex will have a better retail mix to attract more customers.

Transformation will take several years​

But Mr Foo warned that the process will not be swift, with the transformation likely taking “several years”.

They are, however, “determined” to achieve this, with support from stakeholders and residents, he said, adding:

Dey neber learn urban geog ah? The surrounding area hollowed out liao. Wat they're proposing has no customers. Used to be filled with tailors, bookshops, spectacle shops, clothing shops, mini marts all toh until left massage parlours nia. Becos the catchment area doesn't have the people who fit the profile for dat. Even their idea of fnb, ish probably trying to replicate the Everton hipster area vibe, but dat juz a handful of shops, like wat 5? How r dey going to scale it up for dis? It will end up as a si bu xiang white elephant after dat.

With such high rentals, what kind of businesses can afford rent?

It's either massage, beauty salons, or tuition centres.

But elderly zone not enough children to sustain tuition centres. So only left massage and spa.

So controlling rentals means making the rental cheaper will encourage more massage parlors correct? Doesn't make sense.

Please understand how our society works. Why no country in the world eradicated prostitution? Because they are lonely single people in every countries. If they are not "satisfied" in some ways, they may resort to crime. If no more massage parlors, where would members here go?
