Singapore introduces temporary relief measures for property developers, home-buyers of projects disrupted by Covid-19SINGAPORE, May 6 (The Straits Times/ANN) - The project completion period (PCP) for eligible residential, commercial and industrial developments will be extended by six months with immediate effect.
