Property firm OrangeTee pledges support for Singapore Children’s Society
OrangeTee and Tie announced its support for Singapore Children’s Society’s “Safe Havens, Bright Horizons” campaign to raise S$100,000 for the revitalization of Sunbeam Place.
Property firm OrangeTee and Tie (OrangeTee) has announced its support for the “Safe Havens, Bright Horizons” campaign by Singapore Children’s Society, with a goal to raise $100,000 for the revitalisation of Sunbeam Place, in collaboration with a local art gallery, Living With Art.
Supporting this initiative, which aims to enhance the facility’s safety and create a nurturing environment for its young residents, reflects OrangeTee’s broader goal of making a lasting, positive impact on the community and to help ensure that vulnerable children and youth have the opportunity to thrive and “Find Their Place” in society.
The announcement was made during The Home Expo 2024 (Home Expo) which was presented by OrangeTee held from 13 to 15 September.
Said CEO Justin Quek, “At OrangeTee, our advisers will guide customers through the entire process of finding their dream home from start to finish.
“They understand the journey from the customer’s perspective and are equipped with the knowledge to help them make informed decisions.
“We also aim to win the trust of consumers by supporting them during their research phase, ensuring they feel confident about their property choices.”
The Home Expo successfully brought together thousands of homeowners and potential home buyers, industry experts, and exhibitors under one roof at Suntec City Singapore Exhibition and Convention Centre, with many attendees sharing how the three days have been a pleasant and thoughtful experience over three days.
The event provided a unique opportunity for OrangeTee to connect with their customers on a more personal level, offering a platform where both new and existing homeowners could discover everything they need for their homes while gaining valuable insights into the property Market.
Additionally, 18 OrangeTee industry experts, including Ms Christine Sun (Chief Researcher & Strategist), Ms Nicole Teo (Deputy Branch Associate Director), and Mr Dallas Hassan (Senior Branch Associate Director), took the stage to share their expertise on real estate, investments, and retirement opportunities.
Added Mr Quek,, “With the complexity of real estate, OrangeTee’s speakers at the Home Expo provided in-depth industry knowledge to help buyers make well-informed decisions, avoid pitfalls, and maximise value.
“At OrangeTee, we are primarily a consumer-centric platform and it’s part of our new vision to make real estate accessible and understandable for everyone.”
The Home Expo offered homeowners a comprehensive package, combining quality products with expert advice to enhance their home-buying experience.
Marcus Low, a 41-year-old Director in the Travel Industry, who attended ‘2H 2024 Property Market Outlook’ by Ms Christine Sun, said, “It was insightful to see the property market trends and statistics.
“It opened my eyes to different real estate investment opportunities in HDBs, condominiums and overseas real estate.”
Another Home Expo visitor, a 25-year-old Retail Excellence and Learning Executive, Tanya Bedi, who attended ‘Why is Landed Property a Gem in Singapore?’ by Mr Vincent Lim, shared her thoughts on the overall experience.
She said, “Understanding the different types of properties in Singapore was very interesting.
“It is good to know that the number of landed properties has not changed across the years and it’s definitely something worth investing in.
“As someone who just joined the workforce, it’s good to start planning early rather than wait till the end.”
Beyond the exhibition booths, visitors gained valuable insights into real estate management, wealth protection, and investments in foreign properties through seminars led by respected
OrangeTee experts such as Mr Dan Ho (Senior Division Associate Director), Mr Lester Tan (Chief Advisory Executive Associate Director and Head of AAG Group), and Mr Arthur Lee (Group Associate Director at OrangeTee & Tie) who spoke on areas such as foreign and local
real estate investments, and using real estate to build additional income streams.
These sessions offered attendees a chance to expand their understanding of property markets and make strategic decisions for their future investments.

LTA announces 3.6% increase in COE quota to 15,834 for November 2024 to January 2025
The Land Transport Authority has announced a 3.6% increase in Certificates of Entitlement (COEs) for the period from November 2024 to January 2025. The new total will be 15,834, including more COEs for smaller cars, larger vehicles, and commercial use, along with a redistribution from deregistrations to enhance supply.
SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced on Friday (4 October) that the number of Certificates of Entitlement (COEs) available for bidding between November 2024 and January 2025 will rise to 15,834.
This represents a 3.6 per cent increase from the 15,283 available in the current bidding period from August to October.
In the upcoming three months, there will be 6,190 Category A COEs, which are designated for smaller and less powerful cars, as well as electric vehicles (EVs).
This is a notable increase of 5.6 per cent from the 5,864 pieces available in the previous period, translating to 54 more Category A COEs at each tender exercise.
Category B COEs, meant for larger and more powerful cars and EVs, will see their supply rise to 4,060 – a 2 per cent increase from the current 3,980 pieces.
The supply of Open category (Category E) COEs will also increase by 3.6 per cent, going from 1,035 certificates to 1,072.
When combined, the supply of Category B and E COEs represents a total increase of 2.3 per cent, amounting to 117 additional certificates compared to the previous three-month period.
Additionally, the supply of commercial vehicle (Category C) COEs will climb by 8.3 per cent to 1,407 pieces, up from 1,299. This results in an increase of 18 more COEs at each tender exercise. Meanwhile, the number of COEs for motorcycles (Category D) remains unchanged at 3,105 pieces.
The announced COE supply also factors in 3,315 certificates that have been redistributed from identified guaranteed deregistrations.
This includes 1,390 Category A COEs, 1,060 Category B certificates, and 865 motorcycle COEs.
This redistribution practice, initiated from the second tender exercise of May 2023, allows COEs set to expire in the next projected supply peak to be brought forward for allocation.
