My neighbor just moved in to my neighborhood and is doing online business inside the house.
Previously they operate the business in a shoplot, because of rental increase, they shift everything in their office to this house. They have 3 to 4 workers. They parked their car around the neighborhood.
Their business is about e-commerce(internet business) selling make-up products etc. So daily Pos Laju van will come over their house and collect all the parcels to send for their customers.

I would like to ask, it is legal to conduct online business in a house?

Yes such business is illegal...

This article is talking about a pet shop, a solar panel showroom and a kindergarten though. All of which are not online businesses and require customers to physically go there hence traffic congestion

The nature and type of business is irrelevant.

Land title for residential does not allow people to carry out sort of business.
Utilities bills, quite rent and assessment fees following residential rates is cheaper than commercial rates.

Business requires a special permit to conduct business in residential area and land conversion fees. Those permit only granted in very special circumstance.

Online business also cannot?
Just register SSM not enough? Business premise license only required if need to serve customer (something like that no?)

Short answer is NO tongue.gif

Land use title already states residential yet still insist to run a business from housing area dry.gif seriously.

Residential and commercial property govern with different set of laws, rules and regulations to follow.

Scott Garden SOHO is commercial title, besides paying more for utilities, notice "Keluar" sign inside the unit.

There's a whole bunch of other differences that don't apply to residential.

If anything goes wrong in residential area IE: employees trapped inside house during fire. Who will get prosecuted for breaking the law? shocking.gif
