SINGAPORE: Outdoor display areas at Housing and Development Board (HDB) shops are being offered for rent on platforms such as Carousell and Facebook, despite it being against HDB rules.
These spaces – known informally as yellow or red boxes – can be as small as 2 sq m and typically line corridors outside HDB shops.

Shop owners must apply to rent the space outside their shops from town councils, and the spaces can cost shop owners S$10 per square metre a month.
