Lawmaker-cum-banker Cheang Chi Keong said yesterday that his standing committee had reached an agreement on the setting-up of an arbitration centre which would allow a speedier option for solving rent disputes than going to court.
The proposed arbitration mechanism is part of a rent control bill initiated by nine of the legislature’s 33 lawmakers.
The legislature’s 3rd Standing Committee yesterday held a closed-door meeting with government officials and some of the lawmakers who initiated the bill. Cheang briefed reporters on the meeting in the legislative chamber afterwards.
