PRELIMINARY REVIEW ON HOUSING POLICY AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN MALAYSIA

Abstract

This study aims to illustrate the evolving of housing policies and programmes in Malaysia to provide adequate residences for several targeted groups. In order to provide adequate houses to citizens in the country, the government has designed several housing programmes for implementation. However, the achievements of housing programmes implementations vary from one another. PPA1M, an affordable housing programme, has exceeded its target two years earlier, while other housing programmes have yet to achieve their targets. The implementation of this programme is also discussed in this work.
