Zuraida Kamaruddin told the Dewan Rakyat yesterday that the affordable homes policy would focus on rented homes.
She said this would take into account the interests of the landlord and the tenant, as well as ensure that the landowner did not simply increase rental or evict the tenant. Zuraida said the ministry also plans to build homes only for rent and may give exemptions to the poor so that they can continue to rent these homes until their situation stabilises.
She also spoke about criticisms in the Auditor-General’s Report in July, and did not deny that there were several technical and administrative issues regarding her ministry.
