Former PropertyLimBrothers executives Melvin Lim and Grayce Tan step down from KW Singapore leadership

SINGAPORE: KW Singapore has confirmed leadership changes following the decision by PropertyLimBrothers (PLB) co-founder Melvin Lim to step back from his duties as operating principal.

In a media statement issued on 29 January, 2026, KW Singapore said Lim had stepped back from his role, while Grayce Tan, formerly director of growth, was no longer part of its leadership team with immediate effect.

To ensure stability and operational continuity, KW Singapore said Jonathan Lee has been appointed to lead the agency on an interim basis.

According to the agency, Lee brings extensive regional experience, having previously served as regional director of KW Malaysia and currently as a growth consultant for the Keller Williams Worldwide (KWW) Asia Pacific Hub.

Relationship between KW Singapore and PLB

KW Singapore was founded by Lim in July 2025 as a franchise of US-based real estate agency Keller Williams.

The agency said it operates as a standalone business, separate from PLB, despite Lim’s involvement in both organisations.

In its statement, KW Singapore said it is prioritising the enhancement of compliance frameworks, governance processes, and training initiatives in direct coordination with KWW.

The firm added that it remains focused on providing resources and support for the long-term success of its associates and resuming business as usual through a measured and deliberate approach.

KW Singapore also said it does not tolerate the dissemination of unfounded rumours, hearsay, or speculative opinions.

PLB confirms resignations following internal review

Separately, PLB confirmed on 28 January, 2026 that both Lim and Tan had officially resigned from their roles at the company with immediate effect.

The announcement followed an internal review by the real estate agency and came amid widespread online speculation regarding alleged misconduct involving the pair.

In a statement carried by The Straits Times, PLB said leadership changes had been implemented following the review, with the individuals concerned resigning from their respective roles immediately.

Reinforcing workplace standards

PLB said it was reinforcing workplace conduct policies and governance processes to reaffirm clear professional boundaries and standards across the organisation.

The firm added that it would not comment on rumours or speculation, and that its business operations and client services were continuing as usual.

Lim and Tan were no longer listed as employees on PLB’s website, with their profiles removed several days before the official announcement.

Online circulation and public scrutiny

The resignations followed the circulation of videos and screenshots on social media platforms, leading to heightened public scrutiny and speculation about the nature of Lim and Tan’s relationship.

One widely circulated clip showed individuals attempting to look into a closed office door, with sounds resembling moans audible.

Another showed Lim and Tan leaving the room, with Lim appearing to lock the door.

Speculation intensified due to their marital status, as both are married but not to each other. Lim is a father of four.

Circulated message and response

Screenshots of a message purportedly sent by Lim to internal staff were also shared online.

In the message, Lim referred to a “personal mistake” and acknowledged that he had “crossed boundaries,” adding that he would take time away to focus on his family.

Neither PLB nor KW Singapore has independently verified the authenticity of the circulating materials, and both organisations have declined to comment on specific allegations.

Background on PLB and leadership culture

Lim co-founded PLB in 2017 with Adrian Lim, a fellow former prison officer.

Under their leadership, the company grew significantly and became known for its digital marketing-driven and media-centric property content.

The public nature of the allegations has drawn attention to PLB’s internal culture, particularly as Lim had previously spoken publicly about values-driven leadership and a Christian-inspired ethos.

In a now-deleted article published by Salt&Light, Lim was portrayed as having dedicated the company to God, promoting transparency, servant leadership, and a workplace built on trust and empathy.
