On Viewpoint, Lynlee Foo speaks with Lee Sze Teck, Senior Director of Data Analytics at Huttons Asia, about why families use the scheme, how such unusual homes should be valued, whether renting out part of a combined flat goes against its original purpose, and what HDB should consider as it reviews the rules.
