REHDA concerned about looming IFRIC 15 deadlineThe Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association of Malaysia (REHDA) is concerned that the issues surrounding the implementation of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee 15 (IFRIC 15) on property development companies in Malaysia is still not resolved. REHDA Positive about Government’s Initiative on Housing PPPREHDA 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 Applauds 100% Financing for First Time Home BuyersREHDA 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.
