THE Housing and Local Government Ministry is considering amending the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act 1966, known as Act 118, to extend enforcement powers to cover problematic commercial property projects, says Nga Kor Ming (pic).
The Housing and Local Government Minister told Parliament the proposed amendments would allow stricter measures, including blacklisting directors of both parent and subsidiary property firms, as part of broader efforts to prevent private housing projects from becoming stalled or abandoned.
