Commenting on the rental discrimination against Indian/PRC tenants, SMU Associate Professor of Law Eugene Tan said: "In the current state of ambivalence towards immigration in Singapore, my sense is that race and country of origin have taken on a stronger accent with regards to how landlords may view Indian/PRC tenants." He added that there "is no specific anti-discrimination law that can be used by non-citizens. Even if there is an anti-discrimination law, there is the challenge of proving discrimination… Indication of tenant preferences in rental advertisements may not amount to discrimination." However, Associate Prof Tan believes that the discrimination will reduce over time. "With more apartments coming on stream in the next few years, landlords cannot afford to be so choosey," he said.
