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.

Joining us to discuss this is Dr. Nur Fareza Mustapha, Research Associate from the Khazanah Research Institute.
