Joy for first-time house buyers


A brighter future: More Malaysians will get a chance to buy a home under new measures introduced in Budget 2019.

Watching Budget 2019 live on TV, Perry Wong felt that her dream of owning her first house came closer to be realised.

The 30-year-old sub-editor for a local newspaper said it was the announcement that there would be an exemption on stamp duty for property transfer letter and loan agreement for the first RM300,000 on houses, worth not more than RM500,000, that caught her attention.
