In Malaysia, if a project size is more than 10 acres, normally the property developer is required to allocate portion of the land for low cost housing to assist those low income home buyer.
Currently, the land development matters are under authority of state governments. Therefore, the quota for low cost houses priced below RM50,000 differs from state to state. Example:
- Selangor – 20%
- Johor – 20%
- Penang – 30%
- Other States – 20% to 50%
Low Income Housing Programs’ Price to be Increased 50%?
Property developers have feedback to state government that the current ceiling price of RM42,000 a unit is not sufficient to cover the building materials cost, which have increased over the years.
They have suggested to raise the prices to between RM60,000 and RM70,000 for the affordable housing program. Are the prices still affordable for people who need a low cost house for their family?
