Property agent fined $27k for breaching 'Do Not Call' rules

SINGAPORE - A property agent has become the second person to be penalised under the "Do Not Call" rules which kicked in on Jan 2.

Kuan Chow Sheng, 32, sent messages advertising three residential property developments - two in Singapore and one in London - to numbers listed on the Do Not Call Registry, which has more than 600,000 numbers. The rules ban firms from marketing to any number listed on the registry without first getting consent.

On Monday, Kuan was fined $27,000 - or $3,000 per charge - after pleading guilty to 9 of 27 offences committed between Feb 8 and March 2, with the rest taken into consideration.

The court heard that Kuan used a SMS broadcasting software known as "BluOcean" to send the messages to a list of contacts he had accumulated over the years in the real estate industry. The messages were sent with nine Singapore telephone numbers subscribed to on Kuan's behalf by relatives and personal friends, though he did not tell them the numbers would be used for his telemarketing activities.
