The minister continued with an infectious optimism: “If all stakeholders - the ministry, property developers, estate agents, and local and state governments work together, I am certain that our goals can be fulfilled. I hope that there is balance – that industry players can meet consumer demand while still providing an essential service – which is to provide homes for Malaysians.”
