Macao can use Singapore as a good reference when the Special Administrative Region (SAR) amends its public housing regulations, the Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Mr Lau Si Io, said today. Speaking to the press at the celebration activities of Maritime Administration Day, Mr Lau said Singapore's public housing scheme would be of great value, especially on control of the proper use of public resources. For instance, buyers of secondary market public housing units are strictly limited to those on the waiting list for public housing. This would prevent owners from selling it to third parties, making a quick profit at public expenses, said Mr Lau. And to prevent flats being left empty, construction starts only after buyers are fully committed, based on the floor plans they have seen. When asked about motorcycle parking, Mr Lau said more than 6,000 extra spaces will be available when a number of parking lots are open later in the year.
