A common source of aggravation for those seeking to rent in Singapore is the fact that some landlords are explicitly discriminatory along racial lines. 

A woman who recently faced brazen bias while enquiring about a flat in Ang Mo Kio took to Twitter on Aug 16 to raise awareness about the issue after the property agent implied that Indians and Malays can’t keep houses clean. 

This, despite the woman stating that she and her fellow renters consist of two Chinese and two Eurasian folks, all of whom are Singaporean. 

The group had been interested in renting the entire four-room flat for a year — an abode that came fully-furnished and would cost $2,300 a month. 

The property agent, however, first asked if they were of Chinese ethnicity as the landlord “rejects Indians and Malays”.
