YOUR front-page report, “Managing success”, (The Star, Sept 12), quoted president of the Real Estate Housing Developers Association (Rehda) Datuk Jeffrey Ng as saying the abolition of the 30% quota for low-cost housing on every project approved would help ease the supply of low-cost houses nationwide. 

While the developers certainly look forward to being freed from the small or not profitable business of building low-cost houses I am not sure the lower-income masses will receive this too kindly.
