Kedah government backtracks on housing policy?


Amid negative feedback, the state government of Kedah has agreed to review a provision under its proposed housing policy, which mandates developers to increase the quota of affordable homes from 30 percent to 60 percent.
Datuk Amiruddin Hamzah, Chairman of State Industry, Investment and Housing Committee, assured that he will discuss the proposal with the members of the Kedah Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association (REHDA) before making a final decision.
He explained that the government did not intend to ignore the stakeholders to this issue, which include the developers and other vital non-governmental organisations.
