Can he use the diplomatic clause to cease the contract? He is still working in Singapore, but different company (not by his choice).
If he cannot use the diplomatic clause, can he give extra notice period (say 3 months notice) to break the contract? ... or does he need to pay 1.5 month extra rentals to terminate the 1.5 year outstanding lease?
Thanks,
