Bro read the article leh.. The shop owner and business owner are different ppl. if you rent a room to ppl and that person commit a crime and Gov confiscate your flat you ok mah?
"He noted that when police catch businesses that conduct vice activities, action is taken against the masseurs and business owners who are found to be complicit.
Shop owners are not implicated as they are much less likely to be complicit, said Mr Foo. The shop owners may then find new business owners of similar trade to let their shops to, he added.
“It is therefore not so straightforward to address the issue, which is why it has been such a longstanding problem. But enough is enough,” said Mr Foo.
“This transformation will take several years – but we are determined to do it with the support of all stakeholders and our residents.”"
Shop owners should have due diligence to ensure that the tenant is not operating illegally.
Same like flat rental too. If shop/home owner don't check their owned store/home how? Expect public to keep checking and expose but the owner is the one who keeps benefit cuz collecting the rental regardless the tenant is breaking the law or not?
Kym?
In ur copy and pasted section also mention that "The
shop owners may then find new business owners of similar trade to let their shops to, he added.
“It is therefore not so straightforward to address the issue, which is why it has been such a longstanding problem. But enough is enough,” said Mr Foo."
So shop owner should be punished for (repeated) illegal activities that are carried out in their rented out store for failing to do the necessary due diligence.
Double kym?
Same like housing rental? Would u want neighbours who keeps constantly rented out their flat to people or group who conducted illegal activities right... they can keep collect the rental monies from criminals but then the surrounding people suffer and be affected because they don't do the check and due diligence?
Triple kym?
