This is common practice. Why be a YTL staff if staff has no priority? Similar to new launch cars. If the agent likes the upcoming launch, he will be the first to book to get the first batch. That's called staff benefits. They are also genuine buyers. But just like any employee, staff also must be able to afford. So, if there are 800 units, you think every staff will be able to afford? Management of course should just make it a point to collect the 10% for any staff that wishes to buy. And make them sign the SPA within 14-21 days. Then you will see which staff are genuine buyers.

As for family members, then that I would agree. Family should just come and queue like everybody else.

Yes, that is what I meant. If actual staff are buying, then I have no qualms about it. I sure would like to know and hope that those going on the first day which is on Friday will snap some photos and let us know how many stickers are already up there when they go in.
