People can’t afford to buy properties, they are too expensive. Dah la size kecik. Kualiti out. 😕

People buy to stay in affordable homes not for investment or rent out purposes.

Just let the market decide?

The main problm is non disposable income. Even if the house price is high, people will find their way to buy a house.

Tak mampu laa. Contoh paling terok PKNS. sepatutnya help out rakyat tapi rumah dari pemaju PKNS paling mahai. Hmm

Demand is affected too by location, not just price or taxes. Imagine the travel time of people staying in Klang but working in KL.
