Afaik Singaporean housing is based on a govt racial quota system - if you sell/lease your property it must match to the demarcated race for that area - there are numbers. It seems that he is an outlier being a mixed race couple - dunno how that works in that case ????. Also Singapore in the early days suffered from race riots between it's Chinese/Malay/Tamil (Indian) citizens and the founders did not want racial ghettos to form or a repeat of racial strife. I think it is a good system in a multi-cultural society - here in South Africa we see what problems and issues arise out of this type of segregation.

Racial quotas only apply to buying public housing. Private housing and leases on public housing are a free-for-all.
