Hello Sifu-sifu sekalian!
I'm sure everyone has heard of the news lately that a nurse was murdered in her condo by an African, and her body was found after 3 days. This is just one of the many cases where many foreigners causing nuisance for locals at their residential area.

Taking this into consideration, being a JMC committe member myself, we are planning to introduce Foreign Tenant Background screening at our condo. As we can't discriminate or stop a certain ethnicity from staying in a place, this appears to be the ideal call to give assurance to the local residents that the foreigner is indeed safe and not blacklisted from a criminal or financial aspect.

When we brought this suggestion to our lawyer, he said it's like opening a pandors box as certain things can backfire us.  For info, our AGM was just held, and we incorporated this agenda into our house rules which was accepted and supported by almost all residents. We are also aware that the screening can be done only after the foreign tenant signs a consent form, as he's allowing the company to do a background screening on him. The question is, what if the tenant refuses? Though it's in the house rule, how to go about if he still refuse for a background screening and his stand is supported by the landlord?

Need your opinion on this guys!
