    Affordable houses are mostly built at places without proper infrastructures or access to public transport such as lrt or mrt. Houses with good infrastructures and public transport access are priced way out of affordable range of average citizens, thanks to greedy developers.

Singapore do not need those low end job, its drag down the economy. Do singapore has factory? Yes, how can they survive? Going more to automation, make sure the industry is high value added, high profitable sectors. 50 years ago, singapore do make shoes, clothing etc, when times come, they cannot make their own prada, versace, lv, cannot make their own fabrication industry move up the value chain, and market force will annihilate the industry by nature. Dont feel pity for the workers, if they still want a sewing job, move to vietnam, singapore is not for those workers. Either they improve/reeducate, or annihilate together with the industry.

    • @chaoticlife311
      @chaoticlife311 5 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      We dont, we either live back in with our parents because many would have difficulty trusting another human being especially of different race.
      Or
      We can, get rid of the sentiments of race and do hard labour to build houses cater to each community. In so doing, not relying on foreign labour to do it. Sacrifice own blood and sweat to do for others. Which often fails, because faith in humanity is especially in multiculturalism in Malaysia, is often, someone does it, the other runs away.
      Or
      Pretty much guns and gangsters, violence to get what you want.
      Can we avoid the problem. Actually, we can. Why is the people, especially the young, have difficulties trusting another? Or even cautious. Is it debt? Is it the fear of being exploited? Is it getting bullied? Is it getting shout at? Or is it? IDGAF?
      In short, the way you treat others, may or may not be you. But definitely, how people was being treated for decades. Fostered a generation of absolute stay out of trouble, if you know what is best for you. So what happens? corrupted people get to run their show because no one really stood up. Accepting easy pleasing solution by the government.
      Think of BR1M or any other handouts as a way of STFU. Yea... you reap what you sow.

      We cannot blames the foreigners. Who are going to buy the house then? We can't afford to buy meaning that out salary is small. The developers make money not going to give us free houses. Who to blame? Malaysian government because of implying high import taxes and no control of house price. Price that cost 100 the sell it for 200 or more. The government must limit the profit margin of any house built. Say it 10%. The government take back 4% of the10%> so the developers earn 6%. So the house will be sold at 110. By this way, every Malaysian will afford to own a house. Maybe buy two or more houses. Saya cakap saja 😀

Indirectly, buyer will spend money when they purchase houses for stuff like renovation, furniture, electrical appliances which move the economy. This is unfortunate, stoping this vicious cycle has dire consequences to the market, economy and ordinary people like us. that's capitalism 101.

      Our property prices isn't expensive, the problem lies in the fact that average people is earning peanuts. 😢 Raising minimum wage doesn't solve anything cause all the numbers raised come back in the form of products price tags. It's the shrinking middle class, or should I say the widening gap between T20 and the so called M40. Funny to see we see RM2million as big money, padahal its just roughly 600K SGD or 500K USD. And the "M40" people in these countries (just as example) are earning easily near 20K of their country currency for "household of 2 working adults". People can come in and sapu the "expensive RM2billion" property just like that.

    So they admit to protecting the developers. By not letting the price go down for excessive inventory. Even this video in support of the developer. Why do I say that? Because the important part of housing is to get it occupied with local people not sold unit. Sold unit only profits the developer not the people that the home a rebuilt for. No use having sold all those houses but unoccupied.

      Bukan racist ke apa, just sendu tengok video nih. Rakyat sendiri tak mampu nak beli rumah dh. Developer tak turunkan harga sanggup biarkan kosong bertahun2. Kerajaan pun ikutkn sangat calculation diorang "base on average" konon.
      Pastuh dengar pulak angin2 mengatakan nak tarik perhatian foreigners utk beli rumah.
      Foreigners beli rumah =
      1. Kerajaan make money through high taxes
      2. Developers get money = more rich
      3. "below" average citizens = terkulai kat tepi jalan
      4. Foreigners dapat tempat duduk camtuh jee kat overseas (Malaysia).
      Termenung aku weh as a future generation, macam mana nak beli rumah wehh kalau aku dapat gaji biasa2 jee. Takkan nak sewa seumur hidup, nanti anak2 dah besar pun strugle.
      Im not against anything in particular but my point is that they should make some consideration for us "below" average citizen.
      Aku harap Malaysia is not the next Hong Kong where the citizens itself can't afford a house.
      Me and all the next generation struggling in studies, and might not have any good opportunities for desired job. In the end, all those efforts, times and money wasted just like that for nothing.
      Foreigners pulak senang2 datang Malaysia bawak duit dari rumah tukar kat sini, boom berjuta2 dapat then beli rumah tutup mata jee.
      Bukan apa tapi bukak mata kawan2 aku taknak negara maju sebabkan datangnya foreigners sbb diorang buka peluang pekerjaan. Kita dok bawah makan gaji jee. We need to change too as a citizen, not just kerajaan.
      What i mean is that, kita perlu lebih matang utk sustain sekarang. In order for that, we need more geniuses.

      I’m not an expert in housing. It would seem to make sense that a tax be levied on these ‘overhangs’ after a period of time. This would force the developers to lower the price which bring a corresponding reduction in prices across the sectors to benefit the Malaysians. All those taxes collected could be used to channel back to build lower cost housing to benefit the masses.

    Solusi A:
    Menteri turunkan harga pemilikan rumah dari nilai Rm1 juta ke Rm500k untuk org asing. Alasan, mereka mampu beli, kontraktor/pemaju takkan rugi dan secara automatik isu lambakkan rumah tak terjual ini akan selesai.
    Namun sebaliknya berlaku sekarang ialah kontraktor/pemaju makin banyak bina rumah bernilai Rm500-Rm1 juta.
    Solusi B :
    - Turunkan harga rumah yg tak terjual kepada harga mampu milik kepada org lokal.
    - Tetap atau naikkan nilai pemilikan rumah pada org asing kepada Rm1-1.5 juta.
    - Hentikan pembinaan rumah bernilai Rm350k ke atas untuk tempoh 5-10 tahun.

      @thin red line because the perception of foreigners buying Malaysian properties is one of the main reasons causing the price rise as mentioned in the video? Technicality it is indeed true that most Singaporeans can easily buy a RM1 million property (my 84 sqm public housing flat in the suburbs is worth RM1,559,509 when I bought it 4 years ago, for example).
      The trouble is most Singaporeans are not buying, simply because Malaysia is no longer seen as a stable, reliable location to park one's money, it is not seen to be interested in maintaining a positive relationship with Singapore, and there reality has already sunk in years ago that the homes will be difficult to rent out for passive income, and there is just too much to give up to retire in Malaysia.
      China is also investing much less now for other reasons which I will not go into details unless asked to. But these two largest foreign markets choosing not to buy homes despite the huge supply is causing the overhang, which the video did not mention.

      Generally most houses are above 3x annual income of a household. Besides the developers, various other factors come into play such as
      1. Developing country government wants to improve it's status to developed or thinks it is a developed country from inner confidence when the rest of the country isn't sharing the same confidence. This prompts then to develop policies and set pricing akin to their ideal model instead of a sustainable model.
      2. Citizens play catch up even if it's not "affordable". Do note again 3x annual income isn't widely the norm everywhere, for example Thailand. Local demands for housing is real as shelter is important. Thus they have little choice but to buy it at the rate just like the rest of the world.

      I dare to say every developer would at least know that they can profit off a sale of the house when they begin constructions. To say that the construction costs are too high might be true, but ultimately the knowledge of this excessive (mostly foreign) demand allows the developers to continue building. Imagine if developers know that they cannot sell the houses at such a price, would they still allow construction costs to be that high? This whole game of excessive demand is driving inefficiencies throughout the entire housing market in Malaysia. Sad to see with vast land and availability of resources, basic needs such as housing is a struggling concern for many Malaysians :(

      Construction cost too high? errmm..how much a person is willing to fork out for a piece of rock? Multiply that many times....?? yes pretty much freely available.
      Construction cost is high is because the people who would be trusted to do the jobs. Have certain desires to fulfil. Be it supporting their own family for overseas education, travelling abroad, having a better life. Yea... its a little difficult when they can sort of get the same when they travel locally.
      Material wise, might not cost much. Sentimental wise on the other hand is a lot different. If a person has been trusted to do the construction and back breaking stress level to sever injuries. All at the cost of making someone a home to live in. I say this, even when safety precaution have been taken into consideration. That sentiment can really drive the cost up.
      One case of such sentiment is when Japan in the past would offer hundreds thousands of USD, not sure how much back then... to venture into the radioactive nuclear plant. I believe you are quite familiar with it. Some would not even consider it even though its a lot of money.
      We are born and live in a country where we expected others to do our bidding. And because of such, trust among communities is never that strong. This alone can cause price to fly sky high.

    I USED to think the over RM 1 MILLION foreign buyers model was a good idea as to not price out locals, so I can't blame the government for that, but now in hindsight, it was wrong as they only considered then CURRENT homes, not future development.
    I would suggest the government make it MANDATORY for all developers to build in different price ranges, so if they want to build so many RM 1 MILLION homes, they must ALSO build so many RM 400 000. RM 600 000...homes as well.
    Plus I think the government should allow foreign buyers who will LIVE in Malaysia to buy at any price range for ONE home only. If a foreigner will live in Malaysia, they will obviously contribute to the wider economy, not just housing. But then the government should make it EASIER for foreigners to become residents.
    I am a Caucasian Westerner who reverted to Islam three years ago. I visited many so-called Islamic countries but found only Malaysia suitable to make Hijra insha'Allah, but when I came last year to enroll my five year old son in an Islamic private school and then buy a house for us and a car...with the intention to live in Malaysia PERMANENTLY,, I was told I wouldn't be allowed as my son was too young for a single father to register him and that the school wasn't allowed to help me with a student visa for my son and a dependency visa for me. So in the meantime, I bought a house in canada and enrolled my son there.
    Sadly, I found the government and school system in canada to be run by satanic/zionist Islamophobes and still wish to make Hijra this year insha'Allah, but since Malaysia makes it so difficult, I am considering Turkey or Qatar insha'Allah

    All the rich Chinese will eventually buy all the properties in Malaysia and the local Malaysians will live in shacks just like the Philippine and Indonesian people are living in right now. If anyone hasn't noticed yet the Chinese are buying properties all over the world and for this reason is why property is going up and up because their are plenty of rich Chinese who will pay millions for a house. Same thing is happening here in Sydney Australia houses were affordable back in 2004 until the government allowed foreigners to come in and buy property and who were these foreigners the rich Chinese and they pushed up the property prices from $300,000 dollars back in 2004 to $1.2 million dollars today where no Australian family can afford a house anymore.

    seriously, the price is just god damn high. period
    another alternative, if government serious with helping malaysian to own house,
    enforce and ensure the welfare of landlord and tenant.
    the government start database system on the landlord and tenant where each party able to view/select/evaluate their potential tenant/landlord.
    this will ensure to protect both party, example troublesome tenant where always late payment and greedy landlord where every year increase the rent
    with this, malaysian much more desired to rent and eventually the property will severely overhang and the price will drop significantly
    those middle income earner can finally purchase their home and those high middle income can purchase for investment thru rental.

      **CnP from a video about foreigner's vlog that want to purchase house in Malaysia. Also this is posted by 19 yo. Hear this kid out, its interesting because its come from the bottom of his heart but still did not try to offend anyone.
      Bukan racist ke apa, just sendu tengok video nih. Rakyat sendiri tak mampu nak beli rumah dh. Developer tak turunkan harga sanggup biarkan kosong bertahun2. Kerajaan pun ikutkn sangat calculation diorang "base on average" konon.
      Pastuh dengar pulak angin2 mengatakan nak tarik perhatian foreigners utk beli rumah.
      Foreigners beli rumah =
      1. Kerajaan make money through high taxes
      2. Developers get money = more rich
      3. "below" average citizens = terkulai kat tepi jalan
      4. Foreigners dapat tempat duduk camtuh jee kat overseas (Malaysia).
      Termenung aku weh as a future generation, macam mana nak beli rumah wehh kalau aku dapat gaji biasa2 jee. Takkan nak sewa seumur hidup, nanti anak2 dah besar pun strugle.
      Im not against anything in particular but my point is that they should make some consideration for us "below" average citizen.
      Aku harap Malaysia is not the next Hong Kong where the citizens itself can't afford a house.
      Me and all the next generation struggling in studies, and might not have any good opportunities for desired job. In the end, all those efforts, times and money wasted just like that for nothing.
      Foreigners pulak senang2 datang Malaysia bawak duit dari rumah tukar kat sini, boom berjuta2 dapat then beli rumah tutup mata jee.
      Bukan apa tapi bukak mata kawan2 aku taknak negara maju sebabkan datangnya foreigners sbb diorang buka peluang pekerjaan. Kita dok bawah makan gaji jee. We need to change too as a citizen, not just kerajaan.
      What i mean is that, kita perlu lebih matang utk sustain sekarang. In order for that, we need more geniuses.

    The solution to clear the property overhang is not lowering the minimum purchase price... many of the properties built outside KL & Penang ie like JB (where is problem is most acute) is of such poor quality and built that it is not worth Rm 600,000 so lowering the minimum price will not help. The key is sell these to what it is worth. A typical foreign buy is not the average Joe, they are not stupid they do their homework.
