Affordable homes for the rakyat - Skim Rumah Pertamaku and PR1MA




1. Steps must be taken to ensure that what happened to the low-cost housing scheme do not happen in the affordable housing scheme through Skim Rumah Pertamaku and PR1MA.

2. The objective of these schemes like other public programmes should not be sidetracked. The good intentions of the two housing schemes are to enable more lower income and middle income Malaysian of all races staying in the urban and suburban to own homes.

3. We have seen many times that implementation and accessibility to the government policies are two different things.

4. It is delivery of the policy, how it is implemented to reach the target people, the deserving ones and the qualified ones that make the national programme a success or otherwise!

5. Transparency  must be present in the implementation of the programme. People must have access to the information as how and why it turned out the way it turned out.

6. Many programmes have ended up as promotion or branding of certain minister or political leader - hence it was implemented on political motivation and not market driven.

7. Red tapes must be cut,cut, and cut. Too many process and too many tuan besar to go through to get the things approved means too much times are needed to get things done. That environment breeds corruption which is akin to pure, clean water in containers that breeds nyamuk aedes!

8. The government must set up a national database to register Malaysians who are interested to buy affordable houses and vet them to make sure that ONLY THOSE DESERVING AND QUALIFIED ONES GET IT.

9. It will be very sad that this good-intentioned affordable home scheme go to people who use it as rental properties at the expense of the genuine deserving families. Let's hope the government could draw some precious lesson from the low-cost housing scheme. Some not qualified ( over qualified ) ones got it and make it a rental properties by renting it out to foreigners. Some houses have BMW and Camry parked in their porch. These people gain undeservedly from the taxpayers money at some fault of the government implementation efficiency.
