Call to relax some rules as property market wanes

Feeling the heat? or the cold from the cooling measures.

[Singapore, government should relax some of its property-cooling measures as demand for real estate wanes.
This was the view of Getty Goh, director at Ascendant Assets, who felt this was necessary given "the lacklustre property market" and the likelihood that interest rates will rise this year and the next.
Speaking at the 12th Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry-Business Times (SCCCI-BT) Business Outlook Forum yesterday, Mr Goh said the government should consider repealing the Seller Stamp Duty (SSD) for residential properties introduced in January 2011, because sellers who are keen to dispose their properties may find themselves tied down by it.]
