Housing Accessibility in Malaysia

We take a look at the housing situation in Malaysia, and address some current issues. First, we discuss reports that only four developers are capable of build-then-sell models - the most secure for first-time buyers. Then, we discuss whether affordable housing should be a human right. To conclude, we ask: how does the government enter the picture?
