4 akta bakal digubal, dipinda bawah Dasar Perumahan Negara 2026-2035

The Malaysian Housing and Local Government Minister, Nga Kor Ming, expressed the desire to amend and restructure four acts related to the housing sector under the National Housing Framework (DRN) 2026-2035. The goal is to create a more comprehensive, progressive, and fair legislative framework for all parties involved. The four new acts include the Land Enhancement Act, Building Management Act, and Residential Rental Act, along with amendments to the Strata Management Act 2013.

The Minister emphasized that the amendments aim to address the imbalance between housing supply and demand, which has contributed to unsold properties in the market.

Under the National Housing Framework, the ministry aims to expand the scope of property registration from residential to commercial properties, including commercial spaces and retail areas. The Building Management Act is crucial due to the country's status of nearly three million strata properties, comprising over 27,000 schemes including condominiums and Public Housing Offices (SOHO).

The Residential Rental Act aims to balance the rights of landlords and tenants while ensuring the protection of the interests of both parties.

Nga Kor Ming also announced that the ministry will introduce predictive analytics starting next year to address the mismatch between housing supply and market demand, a major cause of unsold properties. This system will combine data from state governments, local authorities, and the Housing and Local Government Ministry across different regions and localities before being made available for industry players to consult.

The Minister clarified that while the use of predictive analytics is not mandatory, it can be advantageous for developers to conduct feasibility studies before initiating a project to ensure that the type, location, and pricing of the property matches market demand.
