Landlords must take care of their rental properties

I REFER to the report “Zero mercy for landlords” (The Star, Dec 1).

Kudos to Local Government Development Minister Nga Kor Ming for his determination to put a stop to “birdcage” and “grave-like” rooms for rent, which he described as “the size of graves, with room just enough for a coffin. This is inhumane and unreasonable.”
