    Property measures: Why industry players were not consulted

    The National Development Ministry (MND) has responded to criticism from the main real estate developers body about the lack of consultation with industry players over the measures, explaining they were market-sensitive.

    The ministry told The Straits Times on Thursday that 'it is not possible for the Government to conduct direct consultations with industry players before implementing demand measures as these are market-sensitive'.

    But the Government monitors the market closely and has regular dialogues with various stakeholders in the property market, a spokesman said.

    These include developers, property consultants, market analysts and real estate agents. The input from these discussions is factored into its policy formulation, he added...

    Consult them only to let them lobby for a more business friendly outcome? I think they did the right thing, so that it levels to playing field between developers and home buyers, because there might always be this element of surprise. In terms of the measure, I'm a little mixed as to whether it addresses the root problem or its more of a symptomatic treatment.

    Why REDAS complain?
    minor stuff like ABSD no need consultation.

    Only Major stuff like accurate representation of showflat etc then need months of consultation, till no news yet. .
    URA, MND know their priorities ok.

    Aircon ledges shld not be part of GFA but regulated by another set of construction code. In this way, developers will be forced to optimise the design and space.

    Why should the Government consult them? The chief of Redas is CEO of SC global. They will be working towards their self interest only.

    in the past MBT always consult industry players lor...then see what happened? in the end got voted out.

    now they consult HDB dwellers, who make up 80% of the population -- these are the 'real' players who will ensure KBW can keep his job.
