These shophouses have been protected under the Rent Control Act of 1966. Since the year 2000 the Repeal Control of Act has changed the situation of real estate. The largest change was due to the soaring rent. Perhaps it will due to the tearing down of the shophouses of the new developments of urban housing in it's place.
