SINGAPORE — A property agent was on Thursday issued a correction order under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act over a recent video he shared on social media regarding the Ethnic Integration Policy .Screengrabs of a YouTube video that was posted by property agent Shaik Amar on July 25, 2024.
These notices must state that the video posted on July 24 and July 25 contained false and misleading statements. A link to the government’s clarification must also be provided.While the ministry noted that Mr Shaik had taken down the video on TikTok and Instagram, it was still up on his YouTube account.
"The EIP was introduced to prevent racial enclaves and ensure racial diversity in Housing and Development Board neighbourhoods in support of racial harmony," the article said. The article said:"Mr Shaik Amar himself benefited from the EIP, because his household would not have been able to select an SBF flat if there was no EIP."
The article said that the proportion of owners from minority communities in more popular developments could be significantly lower without the EIP in place, even at point of sale by HDB. The article noted nearly one in three HDB blocks, and 11 per cent of HDB neighbourhoods have reached their EIP limits.
HDB also introduced a scheme in 2022 to buy back flats from eligible EIP-constrained flat owners who face genuine difficulties selling their flats. The flats bought back by HDB will be offered for sale through SBF exercises or open booking of flats and HDB will give a significant subsidy to the assessed market value of the flat to determine the sale price.

Does facing the highway really affect your property value in Singapore?As most homeowners are quick to point out, highway-facing units are harder to sell or rent out, and should generally be avoided. This is a nugget of property wisdom that's been around for decades, and is one of those things we accept because it sounds logical.
