PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today reaffirmed the government’s commitment to provide quality, affordable, and inclusive housing for all Malaysians, with plans to build one million affordable units between 2026 and 2035.
“As of 2025, a total of 492,000 housing units have been completed or are under construction by the government,” he said while tabling the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) in Parliament.
“However, issues such as the mismatch between housing demand and supply, and property prices that do not align with income levels, continue to persist and must be addressed effectively,” he said.
The new housing target will be met through various initiatives, including the Residensi Madani programme, the Public Servants Housing Programme, the New House Construction Assistance Scheme, and affordable housing projects spearheaded by state governments and private developers.Malaysia Travel packages
To help more Malaysians – especially those in the B40 and M40 income groups – own homes, Anwar said the Housing Credit Guarantee Scheme will be expanded.
He also said that the transition to construction technologies such as the Industrialised Building System and Building Integrated Management will accelerate project delivery and reduce costs, especially for public housing.
Anwar also said that Kota Madani in Putrajaya, a public-private collaboration, will be used as a model for affordable housing going forward.
“This model reflects the urbanisation concept of ‘Umran Hadhari’, which enables the people not only to own a home but to enjoy life in a city that blends progress with values, modernity with ethics, and technology with humanity,” he said.
