TAWAU: Sabah is facing a glut of unsold houses as they were not built according to the requirements of buyers, Deputy Chief Minister Jaujan Sambakong said today.
He said developers should build houses according to the needs of buyers and look into all aspects, including the site, access to public utilities and transportation.
“Thousands of houses are not sold in Sabah because they do not meet the needs of buyers.
“Many are not at strategic locations, even if the price offered is affordable,” he told a media conference after launching Phase 2 of the D’Bayan Fruits Garden Malaysian Civil Servants Housing project here today.
This project involves the construction of 78 units of houses, which will be ready by 2021.
Jaujan said proper planning was needed when developing housing projects.
Jaujan, who is also Sabah local government and housing minister, said housing developers should discuss their projects with the ministry to avoid this problem of unsold houses.
“This is in line with the government’s policy to coordinate all housing projects under the National Housing Council,” he added.
On the issue of housing developers imposing additional fees without buyers’ knowledge, he said the ministry would investigate the matter. -FMT
