Property developers: Some efforts to stem house price rise detrimental


PETALING JAYA: Several “drastic measures” in Budget 2014 to increase home ownership may have a detrimental effect on first-time buyers as well as foreign investors, said the Real Estate and Housing Developers Association (Rehda).

Its president Datuk Seri Michael KC Yam said the removal of the developer interest-bearing scheme (DIBS) would put pressure on genuine buyers, including first-time, as well as Bumiputra buyers.
