KUALA LUMPUR: Banks should be more lenient towards genuine house buyers who want to get a housing loan, said Datuk Seri Chor Chee Heung.

The Housing and Local Government Minister said some banks were too “scared” to approve the loans as they were afraid borrowers would not be able to make repayments.
