  6. POVERTY LINE INCOME (PLI) According to Human Rights Commissioner, Dr Denison Jayasooria - the actual rate is above 30%. Why? The calculations of the Poverty Line Income (PLI), which only take into account the basic needs (keperluanasas) regardless of the household standard of living (tarafhidupisirumah) is not right - do not reflect the real situation of the poor.

  7. …con’t • Developed countries such as Sweden & S'pore – the PLI is the average household income divided by 2. • If in M'sia: average household income is RM3, 686 ÷ 2 = RM1, 843. • PLI 2005: RM720 (Peninsular), RM960 (Sabah): RM830 (S'wak). • Increased cost of living in the city caused the rate prescribed for the PLI is not realistic. • Quality of life of the family is not dependent on the basic needs but also consider other facilities such as refrigerator, TV, computer, etc..

  24. HOUSING POLICIES IN MALAYSIA Refer to article by Teck-Hong Tan, Journal of Strategic Innovation and Sustainability, Vol. 7(1) 2011. Title: Sustainability and Housing Provision in Malaysia http://www.na-businesspress.com/JSIS/TanWeb.pdf

  25. HOUSING DEVELOPMENT & POLICIES IN M’SIA Malaysia is a multi-cultural country with 3 basic racial-religious groups. The housing industry has to take this into consideration in the housing development and planning. The residential patterns of the three main ethnic groups in Malaysia are noticeable due to their economic activities 30 years ago. For example, most of the Malays live in rural areas, most of the Chinese live in urban areas and most Indians live in rubber and oil palm estate.

  26. In order to change these stereotypes of the ethnic groups in the country, New Economic Policies (NEP) were implemented in 1970. The overriding objective of NEP is to foster national unity and nation-building through the eradication of poverty, irrespective of race, and the restructuring of society to eliminate the identification of race with economic function and geographic location.

  27. The Malaysian government encouraged the Malays to migrate to urban centers as part of the NEP strategy: to change the character of urban population which was dominated by the Chinese and also as part of the strategy to create a new Malay commercial community in urban area. The rapid rate of rural Malay migration to urban center in the 80s has caused the growing demand for affordable housing in many cities. The urban migration has resulted in a severe shortage in affordable housing. The urban poor have responded to the shortage by the formation of extensive slum and squatter settlements.

  28. In an effort to reduce slum and squatter settlements and meet basic housing need for all Malaysians particularly for the low-income groups, housing policies and programs must be formulated to ensure that all have access to adequate housing. This led to the development of the housing policies in Malaysia…

  29. Housing Policies Since 20 years ago

  30. How to address the Housing Provision Issues? A massive construction of medium & high cost housing projects. The problem of abandoned housing projects. Affordable housing financing. Liberalizing the EPF withdrawal for down payment & mortgage payment. Housing projects must be accompanied with integrated amenities & employment opportunities.

  31. Apply the 10-90 system: Customer sign the S&P, pay 10% deposit, no more payment made until house is completed with Cert. of Completion & Compliance, water, electricity & vacant possession with keys. Applicable laws to arrest failed housing developers, such as forfeit such land, so the forfeited project can be revived immediately.
