Singapore developer still on buying spree


Little Singapore expanding: At least 26 prewar houses at Lorong Bertam in George Town are the latest to be snapped up by a Singapore company.

They are snapping up houses that are located just outside the state’s heritage enclave as these properties are not accorded heritage protection by Unesco, according to George Town Heritage Action.
