From Viral Videos to Resignations: The Full PropertyLimBrothers Controversy

 




The Singapore real estate community has been dominated by the sudden leadership changes at PropertyLimBrothers (PLB) and KW Singapore following a series of highly publicized allegations involving co-founder Melvin Lim and Vice President of Strategy Grayce Tan. The timeline of events began to unfold rapidly during the week of January 19 2026, when videos surfaced on online platforms like Reddit. These recordings, provided by a witness, purportedly captured sounds of intimate behavior from behind a closed office door, followed by footage of Lim and Tan exiting the room together.

By January 27 2026, both Melvin Lim and Grayce Tan had been removed from the leadership page of the PLB website. Grayce Tan, a well-known influencer with approximately 191,000 followers on Instagram, and Melvin Lim, a father of four, both made their social media accounts private as the speculation intensified. A leaked text message allegedly sent by Lim to the company appeared online shortly after. In this message, Lim confessed to a "personal mistake" and apologized for "crossing boundaries." He stated his intention to spend the coming months focusing on his family and requested that his colleagues respect the privacy of all families involved.

On January 28 2026, PropertyLimBrothers officially confirmed the resignations of both Lim and Tan with immediate effect. The company announced that after an internal review of the recent events, Marc Chan, previously the Vice President of Operations, would take over as interim CEO. A spokesperson for PLB stated that the firm is now in the process of reinforcing workplace conduct policies and governance processes to ensure clear professional boundaries and standards within the organization. Despite the internal upheaval, the company maintained that business operations and client services would continue as usual.

The consequences of the scandal extended to KW Singapore, a franchised real estate agency that Lim had founded in 2025. On January 29 2026, KW Singapore issued a statement confirming that Lim had "stepped back from his duties" as operating principal and that Tan was no longer the director of growth. The agency, which operates as a standalone business from PLB, appointed Jonathan Lee, the former regional director of KW Malaysia, to lead the company in the interim. KW Singapore emphasized that it is prioritizing compliance frameworks and governance to maintain stability for its associates.

By January 30 2026, the incident had become a major point of public discussion, labeled by many as the "PLB scandal." The online reaction has been significant, with meme sites and news outlets following the story closely. On Reddit, further details were allegedly leaked by individuals claiming to be employees, including screenshots of shared calendars and payroll details. Public interest focused heavily on Grayce Tan, who became one of the most-searched individuals in Singapore overnight. Some observers have raised questions regarding the power dynamics at play, noting that Tan had risen from an intern to a Vice President within just three years.

Amidst the public uproar and the creation of online megathreads documenting the allegations, Melvin Lim has maintained his stance on needing to restore his family life. While the professional careers of both Lim and Tan at their respective firms have come to an end, the discussion regarding workplace ethics and the treatment of public figures continues. Many industry members have called for a focus on professional standards while urging the public to show restraint and avoid involving the families of those concerned in the ongoing online discourse.
