Given that over 60% of Malaysian households earn less than $600 monthly, the provision of low cost houses becomes crucial in solving housing problems today. Inadequate supply of low cost houses has contributed to the increase of squatter populations and an increase in speculation,resulting in higher prices. High input prices thus lower profit margins have also discouraged the private sector from playing a more active role in increasing supply.
