The government announced plans for four new housing projects in Kulai, Johor; Nilai, Negeri Sembilan; Paya Rumput, Melaka; and Lembah Pertang, Terengganu. Nearly RM1 billion has been allocated for housing initiatives, including Rumah Mesra Rakyat and Program Residensi Rakyat. Additionally, first-time homebuyers will receive full stamp duty exemptions on homes priced up to RM500,000, or a 50% exemption on the remaining amount for homes up to RM750,000, provided the sale is completed between January 1, 2027, and December 31, 2030.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The government is also providing up to RM20 billion in guarantees through the SJKP housing financing scheme, which is expected to assist 80,000 first-time homebuyers. These measures aim to boost housing demand and address abandoned housing projects by offering exemptions to rescue contractors and developers.
