‘Duped buyers can appeal to have penalty waived’

NON-bumiputra buyers who were deceived into buying allocated bumiputra housing lots in Selangor and are now grappling with high penalty fees can appeal to have the bumiputra discount of 7% and also have an additional 5% penalty waived.

However, an application to waive the fees must be submitted by the developer/liquidator through the Selangor Housing and Property Board (LPHS), which will then present it to the state bumiputra quota appeals committee for consideration.
