BACKGROUND OF THE PROGRAM

The housing in Malaysia is not about availability, but about affordability. In recent years, Malaysians are finding it a struggle to own a home. With the property market flourishing, prices of houses have sky-rocketed, especially the ones in the urban areas. Unsold properties, their numbers mounting, are a telling sign that there is no shortage of houses to meet existing demand. In fact the numbers of unsold properties has been rising and spiking in 2016 – 2019 according to statistics from the National Property Information Centre (NAPIC).


Since the fourth quarter of 2011, the residential property prices have recorded a quarterly price increase of above 10%, which are generally due to factors such as increasing price of land and construction material, higher labour cost and speculative activities. The lack of integrated planning and implementation by multiple authorities involved in developing affordable housing for different target groups has also said to hamper provision of an affordable housing
However the government would still support the idea of making more affordable homes.


Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin has act upon this issue by doing an Affordable projects will be built under the federal government‘s National Affordable Housing Council, which will be a subset of the National Housing Council.

Under the new government, an allocation of RM 1.5 Billion in the continuation to support the construction and completion of affordable homes.
