The Housing Ministry aims to eliminate all sick housing projects by 2030 through governance reforms, enhanced monitoring, and new legislation to protect homebuyers
PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of Housing and Local Government is strengthening governance in the property sector through its MADANI Housing Reform agenda. Its target is to achieve zero sick housing projects by the year 2030.
Minister Nga Kor Ming said the reforms focus on improving systems, strengthening monitoring, and increasing transparency. This is to ensure the interests of buyers remain protected.
“The housing reform also ensures more Malaysians can own safe and liveable homes,” he said in a statement today.
Key implemented measures include strengthening the Housing Development Account audit mechanism. This ensures every buyer’s payment is fully used for project development.
The Integrated Housing Monitoring System has also been enhanced. It allows for real-time monitoring of project progress, financial flows, and developer licence status.
Nga said the ministry has improved the TEDUH system to facilitate complaints from potential buyers. This applies in cases of non-compliance by developers.
The government is also drafting the Residential Property Development Act. This new law will extend regulatory coverage to residential developments on commercial land.
The implementation of the e-SPA system has been introduced to increase transaction transparency. It aims to prevent any document manipulation or unreasonable delays.
“KPKT will continue to ensure the national housing sector grows not only in transaction value, but also in development quality, system efficiency, and the people’s quality of life,” he said.
The MADANI Government will continue implementing various initiatives to facilitate public access to housing. This supports the sustainable development of the property sector.
Malaysia’s property sector continues to show strong performance. The national property transaction value recorded a decade-high exceeding RM240 billion in 2025.
He said this performance reflects high investor confidence and the strength of the country’s economic fundamentals.
According to the Property Market Report 2025, the total transaction value increased by 4.1% to RM241.87 billion compared to 2024. It involved a total of 416,413 transactions.
