Addressing housing affordability in Malaysia strategies for inclusive and sustainable solutions

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate Malaysia’s housing affordability crisis and to provide comparative insights into housing affordability policies in other countries. After a thorough literature review and analysis, the findings of this study offer policy recommendations for addressing Malaysia’s housing affordability issues. The findings indicate that resolving Malaysia’s housing affordability crisis requires a collaborative effort involving the government, private developers, and financial institutions. By adopting a holistic and inclusive strategy, Malaysia can develop a sustainable housing market that ensures long-term affordability and accessibility for all income groups, particularly the B40 and M40, who are most at risk of being excluded from homeownership.
