I am not SAYING that.....this is a forum where our thoughts are voiced out and learn also from other. Your point is well taken. Thanks.
Look at most real estate agents? who are they? Most of them are responsible for propping up the rental rates.
I would prefer to deal with a govt staff on a housing board guided by government policy on rent control. QS post about imposing tax penalty for empty flats is a good one.
Say for example, anyone who wants to rent a flat has only to go to a govt office and inquire for a flat of his choice (location and rental rate). Just like a ONE STOP SHOP office.
This is only one idea and of course we are all welcome for other inputs.
