Housing loan rates in Malaysia are often presented as simple percentages, yet the true cost of borrowing is far more complex. For most buyers, the advertised rate is only part of the story.

Abandoned Housing: How It Leaves Malaysians Stuck in Limbo

The image shows a haunting row of hillside homes left unfinished — a powerful representation of abandoned housing. The once-modern structures now stand weathered and empty, their walls stained and windows missing. Vines and overgrown plants creep up the stairways and facades, reclaiming the buildings inch by inch. Surrounded by dense greenery and a bright blue sky, this abandoned housing project highlights the stark contrast between human neglect and nature’s persistence, symbolizing wasted potential and forgotten dreams.

But for thousands of homebuyers, this dream has turned into a nightmare. They are paying for homes they may never step foot in, trapped in a cycle of uncertainty caused by abandoned housing projects.

Together, these events show how natural […]

Build-Then-Sell (BTS) 2025 in Malaysia: Will It Solve Housing Issues or Raise Prices?

An apartment building under construction with two orange cranes as part of the build-then-sell concept in Malaysia.

The build-then-sell (BTS) housing model — where developers complete construction before marketing or selling units — has reappeared at the centre of Malaysia’s housing debate after proposals in the recently tabled 13th Malaysia Plan.  Proponents say build-then-sell protects buyers and reduces abandoned projects; critics warn it could raise development costs and limit supply.  This article […]
