Sustainability and Housing Provision in Malaysia

The government should seriously and urgently adapt to create changes to meet the housing needs of all. They should be sensitive to these needs and will gather housing experts and related players to seek immediate solutions and be determined to resolve such an unsatisfactory state of affairs. In order for the industry to be sustainable, the interests of house buyers need to be taken into serious consideration. While the housebuilders are privileged to walk the corridors of power, house buyers, on the other hand, have only an inaudible voice in the wilderness.

As such, the government should work tirelessly in various capacities towards the betterment of the housing delivery system. Additionally, there should be a National Housing Policy to provide firm direction for matters related to housing in Malaysia from a wider, in-depth, comprehensive scope and in a more balanced manner. Factors such as destructions and damage to resources should be controlled. There shall be strict enforcement of laws to ensure the well-being of the Malaysian and for their next generation. It is vital to ensure that infrastructural, industrial, economic, and commercial development is not at the cost of the Malaysian’s well-being and health.
