Affordable housing – all about the supply

Land issue: PR1MA estimated that it would need 12,500 acres for its initial plan of building 500,000 units of housing. However, it only ends up getting 108 acres, of which only 39 acres are suitable for development.

EARLIER this month, I was very fortunate to be invited to the Dialogue on Sustainable Development of Affordable Housing, organised by the National Mortgage Corp of Malaysia (Cagamas).

It was an insightful experience to listen to well-known industry experts exchanging views and deliberating on issues related to affordable housing.
