Tenaga Nasional Berhad has kicked off the “Sinaran Merdeka” incentive for its commercial users—a discount on additional electricity tariff charges incurred for the usage of decorative lights. This is to help defray operational costs for the usage of decorative lights during the Merdeka season.

The special rate is 17.8 sen per kilowatt hour for additional consumption above and beyond the three-month average of May, June and July 2011. Business categories that are eligible for the special rate are Tarif B (low voltage), C1 (medium voltage) and C2 (middle voltage peak / non-peak).

The incentive is valid from 1st August to 30th September 2011.

REHDA views the announcement of the new public-private-partnership made by the Prime Minister Datuk Sri Najib Tun Razak today as a noble initiative to assure the rakyat of availability of housing below RM220,000. The Prime Minister’s commitment to provide land at no cost to private housing developers is a positive sign that the Government is serious in making affordable housing more available.

REHDA lauds the effort of the Prime Minister in partnership with 25 financial institutions and banks in working towards improving affordability and ease of home ownership through the My First Home Scheme, which is designed for single adults and households earning no more than RM3,000 intending to purchase houses priced between RM100,000 and RM220,000. REHDA views this as a very innovative initiative, as we are not aware of any other country in the world where Government supports home ownership by guaranteeing the loans taken by the purchaser.

The Real Estate and Housing Developers' Association Malaysia Youth Body (REHDA YOUTH) hosted a Green Tour showcasing four environmentally-friendly landmark developments in the Klang Valley. Held for the first time, this tour aims to educate the public on Green Buildings through hands-on learning, providing unique insights through a physical showcase of award-winning green developments namely 1First Avenue, Challis Damansara, GTower and Ken Bangsar.

The Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association (REHDA) Malaysia views the Budget 2011 as positive and helpful for home ownership for nation, and seeks further clarity and emphasis for the property industry in Greater KL.
