A total of one million affordable housing units will be developed by the federal government, state authorities and private developers between 2026 and 2035 to provide more Malaysians with access to safe and comfortable homes, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced today.

A new rent-to-own (RTO) scheme model will be introduced to offer a more flexible and affordable rental system, aimed at enhancing homeownership opportunities for the rakyat.

The motivations driving homebuyers in Malaysia have undergone a significant transformation. There is a stark contrast between past and present generations, particularly a diminished focus on speculative gains among today’s young homebuyers.

Taking advantage of the land availability in Seremban, homes here come with the exclusivity of low density, generosity of space and liberty of landed living, plus a plethora of resort-like facilities to boot.

For example, why were some units—bought at RM800 psf between 2021 and 2022—later auctioned off at RM420–550 psf in 2025?

Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming recently revealed that the ministry is exploring a pay-per-use model for facilities in future affordable housing schemes.

The government will maintain the annual revenue threshold for the expanded sales and services tax (SST) on construction services at RM1.5 million, despite industry calls to raise it to RM3 million.
