The New Paper TNP FILE PHOTO 0 Engagements Singles will be able to apply for public rental flats without having to first find a flatmate, under a new pilot that will be rolled out later this year, Minister of State for National Development Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim said yesterday. This is to help those who may not be able to find a flatmate on their own, Dr Faishal said during the debate on his ministry's budget. Under the existing Joint Singles Scheme, two or more single persons may jointly apply for a public rental flat. With the upcoming pilot, the HDB will set aside a few floors in several rental blocks and appoint a social service agency to manage these flats.
