Dr Joachim said the Bill has gone through a process involving all stakeholders such as ministries, departments, government agencies, the Sabah Housing and Real Estate Developers Association and Sabah Law Society before being finalised at the level of his Ministry and brought to the Bill drafting process.
The Enactment was originally scheduled to take effect on Sept 1, 2023. However, due to an application from Dr Joachim to amend Clause 1, the Enactment will now be enforced on the date following its publication in the Government gazette. He said the amendment is necessary because the existing Enactment is not sufficient to defend the plight of home buyers who are faced with the problem of ‘sick’ housing projects in addition to ensuring that the problem does not repeat itself in the future.
He said the amendment to the Bill also involves a comprehensive study and reference to the federal government’s legal model, namely the Housing Development Act 1966. “The essence of the amendment to this Bill is firstly, to protect homebuyers, especially from problematic housing development.
