Housing Ministry mulling new law to address abandoned commercial properties

Nga said mixed developments such as retail, commercial, small office/flexible office (Sofo) and Sovo (small office/versatile office) properties are not covered under the current Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act 1966 (Act 118), which is limited to residential developments.
