Policy Prescriptions For Affordable Housing Pressure Points

The latest parliamentary session saw the government reaffirm its commitment to housing affordability, highlighting the 10 billion ringgit Housing Credit Guarantee Scheme (HCGS) and tax relief for first-time homebuyers. With urban migration set to rise by millions by 2030, is Malaysia ready to meet the demand for affordable homes? Joining us to discuss this is Dr. Nur Fareza Mustapha, Research Associate from the Khazanah Research Institute.
