Singapore’s property sector was rocked in late January 2026 after PropertyLimBrothers (PLB) co-founder and CEO Melvin Lim, along with vice president of strategy Grayce Tan, resigned amid allegations of an extramarital affair captured in a viral workplace video.
Founded in 2017 by brothers Melvin and Adrian Lim, PLB rose to prominence with its polished property tour videos and a reputation for integrity, employing 159 staff by 2026. Tan, who joined as an intern in 2022, became vice president within 18 months, a rapid rise that drew heightened scrutiny after the scandal surfaced.
The uproar began around January 25, 2026, following the circulation of an alleged video on fringe forums and Reddit, reportedly recorded by a neighboring office, prompting widespread speculation and social media commentary.
In an internal message, Lim admitted to a “personal mistake” and confirmed both he and Tan would step down. PLB’s official statement on January 27 announced Marc Chan as interim CEO, pledging stronger workplace policies while avoiding direct comment on the allegations. The pair also relinquished leadership roles at Keller Williams Singapore and scrubbed their online presence.
The incident has ignited conversations about the influence of social media in shaping corporate narratives in Singapore’s real estate market. As of January 29, 2026, PLB remains operational under interim leadership while facing ongoing public scrutiny.
