Selangor – 30,000 homes under RM250, 00 by 2023


SHAH ALAM — The Selangor government is targeting 30,000 new housing units to be built within the next five years through its revised Rumah Selangorku 2.0 policy.

Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari said the state government wanted to provide a win-win situation for both the people and developers and will be offering the houses at prices between RM200,000 and RM250,000 each.

“We are targeting 60% of these houses to be priced below RM200,000 and 40% to be priced below RM250,000,” said Amirudin.

“The new policy which is now known as ‘Rumah Selangorku 2.0’ since April provides a win-win situation for both the buyers and developers. We lowered the maximum price of up to RM250,000 previously to RM220,000 for buyers.

“I hope with the RM20,000 reduction, it will be easier for buyers faced with affordability and end financing problems. We hope to also boost the number of home ownership in the state by Selangor folk through this move,” added Amirudin.

He stressed that although the price has been reduced, there are clear guidelines under Rumah Selangorku 2.0 with regards to building material selection and specifications to ensure that developers build quality homes at affordable prices.

Developers are now conditioned to provide clearer details on the specifications of the units to the buyers to avert cases of unsatisfactory finishing of the homes which had occurred in the past.

“As for the developers, we have also reduced the percentage of ‘Rumah Selangorku’ homes that they have to build, from 50 per cent to 40 per cent and brought down the size of each unit from 1,000 square feet to 900 square feet while at the same time maintaining the density of up to 120 units per acre,” said Amirudin.

This was said after officiating the Selangor Price Control Property Development Seminar organised by the state government and the Selangor Housing and Property Board at the Shah Alam Convention Centre.

The one-day seminar attended by over 300 property industry representatives, added Amirudin, serves as a platform for the state government to explain the policies as well as improvements that comes under ‘Rumah Selangorku 2.0’.
