Towards a Housing Policy in Malaysia

Abstract

In numerous statements, successive governments of Malaysia have recognized housing as both a basic human need and an important component of the country’s economy. Underlying this, the primary, formal objective of Malaysia’s housing policy has been to ensure that all citizens, particularly low-income groups, have access to adequate and decent shelter (Wan et al., 2011). In addition to ensuring an adequate supply of housing, another ostensible objective has been to promote a safe, healthy, convenient and beautiful living environment. Essentially, housing has been perceived as a vehicle for achieving human settlements that not only meet the physical need for shelter but also the particular national need for social, cultural and ethnic integration.
