YOURSAY | ‘Are Zuraida and her ministry pro-rakyat or pro-developers?’

Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin is still missing the point. Is she using tax money or government time to help prop up filthy rich developers?

And how many foreign retirees do we want to attract under Malaysia My Second Home ? What can they contribute to our economy? This is not like Singapore attracting productive talents.MM2H is a government initiative, not a marketing arm for developers who built without proper research on market needs and proper forecast.I am a permanent resident of Malaysia and have been here over 20 years.

I am fuming that the government can think about selling properties to rich Chinese or Hong Kong buyers when there are those of us who have made Malaysia our home. At least, Zuraida has reversed her comments and “clarified” them. Agreed. Don't politicise every issue, especially those which help or alleviate the problems faced by the country.Are Zuraida and her ministry pro-rakyat or pro-developers? It's best left to the developers to solve their problem of unsold high-end properties if they decided to get into that field in the first place.

Building affordable home should not be based on a profit motive. That's why building affordable homes shouldn’t be done by private developers. This is the government's responsibility.The government promotion will only encourage greedy developers to build more high-end properties. Is this why Penang wants to create more land to build more high-end properties?

instead of offering the expensive can see only houses to foreigners who are not even here yet, zuraida_my ybz99 should campaign to current PR and foreign business owners who already reside in Malaysia for at least 5 years. Offer to them first.

Because mak lampir is afraid she won't be around when a new pm takes over...

Govern help developer to clear country debt left over

Everything about money/profit. But they forgot there is limit. What you going to do for local? Why don’t you come out with some productive idea/agriculture base by using empty land to make more money..what a mentality.Easy money is not developing/productivity.It’s just temporary

Gov MUST reduce land premium to all rumah rakyat or affordable home, then developer cN build cheap home.. Simple way to help rakyat... Expensive properties biarlah mahal

BLACKP103460612 - Sky high construction materials? You are talking nonsense.

BLACKPI03460612 - For the sake of the rakyat, prices of houses in Malaysia must be brought down to between RM25k to RM200k. What can zuraida_my do to make that happen?

many of those who could not afford to buy houses put themselves in that position becos they did not plan their lives properly. even with very low incomes, they keep having children which they could not afford.

YB Menteri Mak Cik listened to developer not from people...

those people complaining about high property prices should find second-hand ones. there are lots of them around for sale at very low prices. but they want brand new hses in prime locations. not everyone complained about high property prices especially owners.

If rich developer make money, they pay tax. Whereas poor people don't pay any tax.

those houses would have been sold by now if there are local buyers. offering them to international buyers will bring in money from overseas. this is nothing new in other countries as well. btw, many homes in msia are already owned by foreigners.

It is spin off that the gov is looking for. Not helping the developers. What good does it do to country when companies are winding up? Think of the bigger picture not just a rich developer.
