Budget lacks measures to revive property slowdown


Siders: ‘Right now, PR1MA housing is facing various challenges, the biggest being the scarcity of land.’

The Association of Valuers, Property Managers, Estate Agents and Property Consultants in the Private Sector Malaysia (PEPS) said while it is noteworthy of the government to say it will release land at its disposal for affordable housing, the land should be quickly identified and allocated for affordable housing.
