Affordable Housing

Rajiv Rishyakaran, Bukit Gasing State Assemblyman

20-Jul-17 16:00

Affordable Housing

Even though the high price of home ownership has been identified as a critical issue at the state and federal levels, the undersupply of affordable houses, the high rate of unsuccessful applicants for home loans, and the continual rise of property prices remains unabated. Bukit Gasing State Assemblyman Rajiv Rishyakaran talks about the affordability of houses in Selangor, what the state government can do to bring property prices under control, and whether long term renting is a desirable solution.
