  "account": "The Ministry of Housing and Local Government in Malaysia has urged the public, especially those looking to buy homes, to utilize the TEDUH portal and mobile app before finalizing a purchase. TEDUH, created by the National Housing Department, offers a comprehensive overview of developers, project progress, and related information. This initiative, part of the #TEDUHBersama campaign, aims to promote a culture of \"check before you buy\" among prospective buyers. The platform allows users to verify developers' licences, advertising permits, and project statuses, including delayed, troubled, or abandoned projects. It also provides details on approved selling prices and government approvals, such as extensions of time. The Ministry emphasizes that this simple step is crucial for making informed decisions and reducing the risk of dealing with unlicensed developers. The TEDUH platform, launched in August 2017, has seen over 45 million visits, making it a valuable resource for potential homebuyers.",
