Yip Hon Weng on Land Titles (Strata) (Amendment) Bill
If parliament lowers the threshold for renewal, it must raise the standard of fairness, said MP Yip Hon Weng. He told the House on Tuesday (Sep 8) that his support for renewal rests on this central conviction. Three principles should therefore guide this framework, he said. Renewal must rest on durable consent, compensation must preserve real choices and speed must not outrun fairness, he added. This means making room for tomorrow without being careless with yesterday, renewing buildings without uprooting belonging and renewing the city without diminishing the dignity of those who make way, he added.
