KUALA TERENGGANU (August 4): Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Raja Kamarul Bahrin Shah says that a central database on home ownership may help housing issues.
"Without a database, how can we properly ascertain the demand for housing?" he said, as reported by The Star.
Information on potential buyers made available to authorities and developers would help with supply and demand, as well as identify first-time home buyers, to differentiate them from Malaysians who already own several houses.
Raja Kamarul, an architect by profession, said that deserving Malaysians were sometimes hindered from owning low-cost and affordable homes by those who have “the right connections”.
"Some Malaysians have waited for years to own a house but their chances are always taken away by others. It is very disheartening," he said to the daily.
"Basic information is all that is needed, and I don't see why it is a challenge for those involved in the housing market," he said.
Raja Kamarul is also the Terengganu Pakatan Harapan chairman.
