President’s Review 5
“You may delay, but time will not”
T
hose words uttered by Benjamin Franklin echoes through the centuries and still
remain true! Time indeed flies and in a blink of an eye my four year term at the helm of
REHDA as its President since 19 June 2010 draws to a close. This will be my final President’s
Review in REHDA’s Annual Report as I will officially step down on 21 June 2014 and
pass the baton to my worthy successor. It is encouraging to note that like preceding years,
members of REHDA National Council, EXCO and its various Working Committees and
Sub-Committees have made personal sacrifices to dedicate their time, resources and best
efforts to advocate and lobby for and on behalf of the real estate and housing industry. They
have worked relentlessly to ensure that the concerns and issues of members are ventilated
and their voice heard in the right forum in the interest of the wellbeing and sustainability of
the industry for the benefit of all stakeholders and the nation.
Since the last President’s Review presented a year ago, the industry continues to be
buffeted with further challenges on all fronts. In addition to the then prevailing antispeculative measures such as reducing margin of financing for third homes to a maximum of 70%, Bank Negara Malaysia’s
issuance of its responsible lending guideline and directive to financial institutions and loan amount is calculated based on net
income, further curbs were announced in Budget 2014. Additional cooling measures were imposed to dampen price increases and
these include an increase in Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) from between 10% to 15% to between 15% to 30% depending on
the year of disposal, an increase in foreign purchase threshold from RM500,000 to RM1 million, removal of Developers Interest
Bearing Scheme (DIBS), full disclosure of pricing to identify incentives, offers and fees to ensure banks only lend on the nett
property price, etc. The aggregated impact of these measures have adversely affected sales momentum and the sentiments in the
market especially when genuine purchasers of property for owner occupation particularly first time home buyers are unable to
get housing loan.
REHDA had submitted a memorandum to the Government not only highlighting the plight of the buyers but also expressing
the grave concerns of the industry in respect of the stringent measures introduced which coupled with the increasing cost of
doing business and the differing rules, regulations and high compliance particularly those imposed by different states, had served
to reduce supply of housing into the market. In fact, as a possible consequence of the steps taken by the Government, property
transaction in 2013 has dropped by 10.9% from 381,130 units compared with 427,520 units in 2012. However, average transacted
price per unit has headed northwards to a price of RM399,790 compared to RM334,100 in 2012. These numbers provided by
NAPIC which suggests a lower volume of transaction is vindicated by the findings of a survey conducted by REHDA Institute
amongst REHDA members which indicated a decrease in the number of launches by developers in response to the negative
sentiments. A majority of those numbers surveyed had reported that the cooling measures announced in Budget 2014 will have
an adverse impact on the industry and their outlook for 2014 is at best neutral to pessimistic.
While the introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) by the Government is a more transparent and inclusive revenue generator,
its implementation in April 2015 is expected to increase cost and hence selling prices of property to the public. Such increased cost
will inevitably be passed onto the consumer in the form of higher property prices, a situation the nation would want to navigate
cautiously given the prevailing affordability and supply and demand gap in the market. Hence, while REHDA is in support of GST
to make the current taxation more comprehensive, efficient, transparent and business friendly, REHDA has also submitted a counter
proposal to the Government to ensure that GST implementation will not affect both developers and house buyers as the current
proposed form of GST is seen to likely have an adverse impact on the affordability of housing to the public.
On the issue of Build Then Sell (BTS), REHDA has tirelessly work towards the concept of the establishment of Home Guarantee
Schemes as alternatives to BTS and has come out with two options; an insurance programme named Home Buyers’ Insurance
Programme to be spearheaded by the private sector, which will reimburse monies paid by buyers in cases of project abandonment,
and the other alternative is a Government led initiative called the Malaysia Housing Guarantee Scheme; a guarantee scheme
modelled after the Korea Housing Guarantee Scheme that either warrants the completion or refund of paid progress payments
to home buyers in cases of project abandonment. Both proposals detailing the mechanism have been presented to the Ministry
of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government (KPKT) for their consideration. Meanwhile, numerous discussions with the
relevant parties including the Korea Housing Guarantee Corporation (KHGC) is ongoing to refine and customise the scheme for
the local environment.
6 President’s Review
REHDA’s seriousness in mitigating incidences of abandoned housing problem is not just limited to working on the proposal of the
Home Guarantee Schemes. We actively take part in the Government’s Task Force on Reviving Abandoned Projects by constantly
providing relevant input and feedback and have even extended invitations to our member developers to register their interest to be
the white knights to revive some of the existing abandoned projects.
In line with the Government’s aspiration to provide adequate and affordable housing to the rakyat, the period under review
witnessed the launch of the MyHome Scheme where incentives of RM30,000 are offered to developers for each affordable house
built. The incentives were provided as an impetus to encourage private developers to build more affordable housing. REHDA has
conveyed to KPKT that state governments and local authorities should also play their roles in ensuring the success of the Scheme.
In addition, REHDA continues to advocate the conversion of the low cost quota to affordable housing as one of the best ways to
ensure adequate supply of affordable housing, apart from reducing various compliance, contribution costs and charges.
Amidst the hectic schedule of attending endless meetings and discussions, providing input and feedback, REHDA strives to
remain relevant to members and continues to organise various events not only for the benefit of its members but also to generate
more income for the Association. The healthy surplus shown in the financial statement speaks for itself. Kudos to the various
Working Committees for the job well done especially the MAPEX Committee for their excellent performance. Last year also
witnessed the spectacular comeback of the REHDA Annual Dinner since it was last held in 2009 where the first ever REHDA
Recognition Awards were presented to two deserving recipients for their outstanding achievements in the industry.
True to our tagline “Towards Sustainable Development”, REHDA walks the talk in providing the opportunity for all members to
embrace the green agenda in their development through GreenRE, our very own green rating tool. Since its launch in March 2013,
GreenRE has been gaining acceptance and recognition by the Government. Briefing sessions are being held at REHDA Branches
nationwide to further create awareness and encourage members to adopt GreenRE in their projects and I would like to urge more
members to step forward and opt for GreenRE as their preferred rating tool. The inaugural GreenRE Managers’ Course has been
successfully conducted from 5 – 7 March 2014 and the first GreenRE’s Gold Award, has also been presented to its first recipient
on 5 March 2014. We look forward to many more great achievements by GreenRE in the near future.
Meanwhile, I am pleased to share that the formation of REHDA Youth has been approved by the Registrar of Societies (ROS)
on 4 April 2014. Their active involvement in organising various interesting activities for members is testimony to their serious
commitment and dedication in bringing the industry to a higher level. Similarly, REHDA Institute has been very active in
updating members with the latest industry policies and changes through its various seminars, talks, workshops and also research
information dissemination on a wide range of industry matters. It is my hope that GreenRE, REHDA Youth and REHDA Institute
will continue their good work to support the objectives and vision of the Association towards the betterment of the industry.
This final review of mine will be incomplete without expressing my sincere gratitude to REHDA Executive Committee and
National Council, Working Committees, Branch Committee members and all fellow members for your tremendous support and
positive contribution; whether in representing REHDA at meetings and dialogues with ministries and authorities or participating
in our various activities and events. Indeed everyone has contributed selflessly to assist REHDA as well as the industry. My deepest
appreciation too goes to the Secretariat staff and those working for REHDA Institute, REHDA Youth, GreenRE and the Branches
whose work ethics and dedication had enabled the Association to come this far. The last four years as REHDA President has been
a very enriching and unforgettable experience and I would like to thank everyone again especially the Patrons, Past Presidents and
members for honouring me with this opportunity.
Whilst our uphill battle is far from over, with your continued feedback and participation, I am confident that REHDA will
continue to achieve greater milestones for the industry we love. Let us as good corporate citizens fortify our spirit to embed and
live the culture of our 4Rs - a Responsible, Responsive, Respected and Relevant NGO to ensure the sustainability of the real estate
and housing industry.
Finally, I wish every success to the incoming President and the newly elected National Council 2014/2016 and hope that the new
Council will continue our ongoing efforts in flying the REHDA flag high.
With Best Wishes and Salam Sejahtera.

1) Meetings with the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing
and Local Government (KPKT)
a) Special Task Force on Reviving Abandoned Projects
REHDA continued to participate actively in the Special Task
Force on Reviving Abandoned Projects, chaired by Tan
Sri Dr Ali bin Hamsa, Chief Secretary to the Government,
as well as its 3 Working Groups, namely Working Group
on Rehabilitation, Revival and Monitoring of Abandoned
Projects, Working Group on Legislation, Enforcement and
Monitoring and Working Group on National Housing Policy
and Direction of the Housing Industry. The Special Task
Force and the 3 Working Groups met regularly throughout
the period under review. Among the issues discussed were:
Revival of Abandoned Projects
REHDA worked closely with the Ministry of Urban
Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government in the effort to
revive abandoned projects for completion and delivery to
affected purchasers. As at February 2014, out of a total of
206 abandoned projects, 149 projects have been completed,
23 projects were being revived and 34 projects were in need
of white knights.
To assist the Ministry in its effort to revive abandoned
project, REHDA invited members to register their interest
to participate in the revival of any of the 34 projects. 28
members responded to the invitation to register their
interest in various projects, list of which has been submitted
to the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local
Government with the request to provide these members
with the details and specifics of the respective projects to
enable them to study the viability of the projects.
Strata Management (Maintenance and Management)
Regulations
The Commissioner of Buildings (COB) Division under the
National Housing Department of the Ministry of Urban
Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government called for two
minilabs on 8 to 9 May 2013 and on 27 to 28 March 2014 to
finalise the draft Strata Management (Maintenance and
Management) Regulations.
REHDA's comments on the draft Regulations, include the
following:
• REHDA was not agreeable to the proposal to obtain the
agreement of all purchasers in the development area for
amendments to the building plan. REHDA maintained
that consent from the affected purchasers in the
development area should be suffice.
• REHDA reiterated its earlier objection to the proposal to
impose a deposit of not less than 0.5% of the construction
cost or RM50,000, whichever is higher. As common
area is normally considered about 20% of the whole
development, REHDA is of the view that a deposit of 0.5%
of common area construction cost would be reasonable.
The COB also organised a mini lab from 27 February to 1
March 2014 to discuss the draft Strata Management Tribunal
Regulations. The draft Regulations cover the procedures/
preceedings for filing of claims, defence and counter-claim
as well as prescribed filing fees, standard forms, service of
documents, procedures of negotiations and hearings. The
scope of awards is up to RM250,000 as provided by the
Strata Management Act. The Strata Management Tribunal
Regulations also introduced the provision for e-filing.
The Tribunal for Homebuyers’ Claim will be known as the
Tribunal for Housing and Strata Management.
b) Affordable Housing
With the issue of rising property prices, the Ministry of
Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government organised
a Workshop on Initiatives to Reduce House Prices on 22
August 2013. REHDA presented a paper at the Workshop to
highlight the challenges faced by the industry and developers
which contribute to the property prices going up and further
widening the affordability gap. REHDA also proposed some
measures to reduce development costs which include:
• Free up government land for affordable housing;
• Encourage the adoption of Industrialised Building
System (IBS) so that dependency on manual labour can
be reduced;
• Reduction in cost of doing business (e.g. contribution to
utility companies);
• More flexible planning requirements; use plot ratio
rather than density;
• Shift focus from low cost housing to affordable homes;
• Standardisation of bumi quota and automatic and
structured release mechanism of unsold bumi units to
the open market; and
• Expedite approval process to accelerate project
development.
In an effort to address the issue of high property prices, the
Government introduced several cooling measures during
the 2014 Budget announcement as follows:
• Increase in RPGT from the current rate of between 10%
to 15% to between 15% to 30% depending on the year of
disposal;
• Increase in foreign ownership threshold from
RM500,000 to RM1 million;
• The ban on Developer Interest Bearing Scheme (DIBS);
and
• The requirement for developers to disclose all details
pertaining to sales pricing including benefits and
incentives offered to buyers.
REHDA had several engagement sessions as well as
highlighted at various meetings that such cooling
measures would have negative effect on the Government’s
homeownership agenda and that those in the lower and
middle income group especially would be affected.
Technical Working Group (TWG) on Housing
As the lead agency in the preparation of the paper on housing
for the 11th Malaysia Plan, under Trust 6 : Improving the
Wellbeing of the Rakyat, the National Housing Department
of the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local
Government has established a Technical Working Group on
Working Committee Reports 11
Housing. The paper will include the following focus areas:
• Affordable housing (Rumah Mampu Milik – RMM);
• Urbanisation concept;
• Formation of data and research institution related to
housing; and
• Housing concept and technology.
REHDA has submitted a paper to the Ministry to highlight
issues and challenges in affordable housing development
from the private sector’s perspective.
National Housing Committee
REHDA was invited to attend the Ministry of Urban
Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government’s National
Housing Committee meeting on 11 February 2014 to
discuss the papers to be presented at the first National
Housing Council meeting chaired by the Prime Minister of
Malaysia on 13 February 2014. Among the issues discussed
were the implementation mechanism of the MyHome
Scheme, Property Investors Club and the status on the
implementation of affordable housing.
The Ministry has proposed to the National Housing Council
that developers would be required to obtain prior approval
from the Housing Controller for the sale of housing units
above 4 units to one individual buyer. REHDA has since
written to the Ministry to highlight that the existence of
such investors clubs are only active in certain areas in the
Klang Valley and that affordable housing is not affected as
such category of housing is controlled by the respective state
governments.
c) National Housing Department Coordination Meeting
with REHDA
During the period under review, the National Housing
Department initiated a meeting with REHDA to discuss
operational issues faced by the Ministry and REHDA
members. The first meeting was held on 6 January 2014
and it was decided that such meeting would be held on a
quarterly basis. The second meeting was held on 24 April
2014.
Among the issues highlighted by the Ministry were:
• booking fees/deposit collected by lawyers/developers;
• developers applying for price revision 6 months after
approval without any clear explanation/justification;
• high renovation packages for low cost housing from
developers;
• ease of doing business;
• utilities contribution; and
• property investors club.
Following from the Ministry’s Enforcement Division
advice on the commencement of enforcement exercises,
REHDA issued a circular to remind members to adhere to
the statutory compliances under the Housing Development
(Control and Licensing) Act.
REHDA also appealed to the Ministry to put on hold any
additional measures to cool down the market as such
measures will lead to shortage of housing supply and create
pent-up demand that would eventually drive up property
prices.
Task Force on Pre-Launch Marketing Activities
It has been highlighted to REHDA by various parties
including Government authorities that developers are
carrying out pre-launch marketing activities. REHDA
maintained that whilst it is acknowledged that there is a
need for pre-launch marketing activites to gauge market
demand, any activities carried out must be in accordance to
the governing laws and legislations.
In line with good governance and transparency, REHDA
formed a Task Force on Pre-Launch Marketing Activities
to establish guidelines for pre-launch marketing activity/
registration which would cover the ‘Dos and Don’ts in
relation to pre-launch marketing activity and would engage
the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local
Government on this matter.
d) MyHome Scheme
Following from the announcement of the MyHome Scheme
during the 2014 Budget which offers a subsidy of RM30,000
per unit to private developers for low cost properties
valued at RM45,000 and medium cost properties valued at
RM170,000, REHDA participated in the workshop organised
by the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local
Government on 21 November 2013 to discuss and brainstorm
on the MyHome Guidelines. The workshop discussed the
criteria for buyers’ eligibility, developer and project criteria
as well as application mechanism and payment.
At a subsequent meeting held by KPKT on 17 March 2014,
the MyHome Scheme pricing was reviewed whereby the
market price of properties under the Scheme was increased
from RM45,000 to between RM80,000 to RM120,000 and
from RM170,000 to between RM120,000 to RM200,000. The
meeting also discussed the following:
• Project and purchaser’s criteria;
• Selection and appeal procedures;
• Payment method of the RM30,000 subsidy; and
• Moratorium on MyHome properties of 10 years.
REHDA highlighted that cooperation from state
governments and PBTs would be required with regards to
the pricing of the MyHome properties to ensure the success
of the Scheme.
The MyHome Scheme has since been launched by
the Minister of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local
Government on 27 March 2014.
e) Compliance to Schedules
The Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local
Government (KPKT) held several sessions with REHDA to
discuss the compliance to the schedules under the Sale and
Purchase Agreement (SPA). It was highlighted to KPKT that
the schematics drawings in the SPA were different from the
actual building plans approved by the local authority. After
due deliberation with relevant stakeholders which included
REHDA and PAM, the Ministry decided that the current
practise by developers of attaching the schematic drawings
in the SPA would be allowed. However, developers would
also be required to provide the approved building plans in
the softcopy format to purchasers.
f) Briefing on OSC Model 3.0
Government held a briefing session on 18 April 2014 to brief
REHDA on the new OSC model. The OSC 3.0 is intended to
standardize and reduce procedure, time and cost of issuance
of permits, increase efficiency of all parties involved and
reduce compliance cost.
The OSC 3.0 further refined the Matrix which lists the agencies
required to be referred for the various types of applications.
Among the improvements to the OSC model were:
• Building plans would be referred to only 3 departments
namely Building Department, Engineering Department
and Fire and Rescue Department;
• Introduction of Pre-Consultation as the first stage of
the process where applicants would be informed of
the requirements set down by PBAN, TNB, SKMM and
PTG/PTD within 14 days and such requirements would
be valid for 6 months, afterwhich the requirements may
differ;
• Notification of Start Work Order via Form B (Second
Schedule, UBBL) allowing for works to commence within
14 days if there is no objection from the local authority;
• Premium required to be paid only when entering
construction site and not at DO stage; and
• For issuance of CCC, clearance to be given immediately
upon final inspection or deemed approved after 14 days.
The implementation of OSC 3.0 will commence on 1 June
2014.
2) Home Buyers’ Insurance Programme
a) Alternatives to Build Then Sell (BTS) - Home Buyers’
Insurance Programme
REHDA’s proposed alternative to BTS, the Home Buyers’
Insurance Programme, was presented to Dato’ Seri Arpah
bt Abdul Razak, Secretary General of the Ministry of
Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government and
others seniors officers from the Ministry on 23 September
2013. Amongst others, the presentation highlighted that
mandatory BTS as a single delivery system will not only
affect developers and the industry but also the government,
the nation’s economy and development activities. During the
meeting, REHDA presented the 2 proposed home guarantee
schemes; the Home Buyers’ Insurance Programme, which is
a private sector driven initiative and the Malaysia Housing
Guarantee Scheme, which is a government driven initiative.
i) Home Buyers’ Insurance Programme – proposed
insurance program to reimburse monies paid by home
buyers in cases of project abandonment.
ii) Malaysia Housing Guarantee Scheme – proposed
guarantee scheme that performs the completion or
refund of paid progress payments to home buyers in
cases of project abandonment. The proposed scheme
will adopt the Korea Housing Guarantee Corporation
(KHGC) model as a reference.
Home Buyers’ Insurance Programme
REHDA continued to hold discussion with a local insurance
broking company to further develop the proposal to establish
the Home Buyers’ Insurance Programme.
Malaysia Housing Guarantee Scheme (MHGS)
At a meeting held on 6 March 2014, REHDA presented a
more detailed MHGS to KPKT. Also present at the meeting
were Bank Negara Malaysia, Association of Banks Malaysia,
Association of Islamic Banking Institutions Malaysia and
House Buyers Association. The presentation covered the
framework, mechanism and challenges of the proposed
MHGS as an alternative to BTS. Arising from the meeting, a
working committee would be formed to look into details of
the proposed scheme.
b) Engagement with Korea Housing Guarantee Corporation
(KHGC)
A delegation from REHDA and a representative from the
Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government
(KPKT) visited KHGC in Seoul, Korea on 16 June to 18 June
2013 to discuss in detail the formation, function, structure,
management and benefits of the scheme. The visit also
formalised the collaboration between REHDA and KHGC
in establishing a Housing Guarantee Scheme in Malaysia
through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU). Amongst the purpose of the MoU were:
• the development and promotion of the housing
industry cooperation through the exchange of technical
experience and expertise particularly relevant to a
proposed guarantee system;
• to provide both parties with technical consulting on a
proposed guarantee system; and
• to promote and strengthen the cooperation in the field
of housing policy, particularly in the area of housing
guarantee scheme in the future.
REHDA has since been in close contact with KHGC to seek
clarification and advice in coming out with a proposal for
the establishment of Malaysia Housing Guarantee Scheme
(MHGS).
REHDA also presented a paper on the “Malaysia Housing
Trend and the Need for Housing Guarantee Scheme” at the
2013 International Seminar on Development of Housing
Finance and Guarantee System organised by KHGC held on
13 and 14 November 2013. The seminar was well attended by
oversea delegates from the International Housing and Home
Warranty Association, Canadian Home Warranty Council,
Home Warranty Providers Netherlands, National Housing
Building Council UK, academicians from universities and
representatives from the Ministry of Housing Korea.
Subsequently, a delegation from REHDA visited KHGC in
Seoul on 9 April 2014 for further discussion. A site visit
to one of KHGC’s revived abandoned projects was also
organised in conjunction with the meeting.
3) Meetings with Department of Director General of Lands
and Mines (JKPTG)
a) Working Committee on Strata Property Ownership
REHDA continued to participate in the Working Committee
which meets on a monthly basis to discuss and resolve issues
concerning strata titles issuance. The Working Committee
was regularly updated on the overall performance of the
strata title applications and was notified that there has
been a significant reduction in schemes failing to obtain
strata title issuance. The issue of the sale of hotel suite was
also brought to the attention of the Working Committee
and REHDA sought the assistance of REHDA Branches to
provide information on whether members are undertaking
such development.
During the period under review, REHDA also participated
in JKPTG’s Brainstorming session to identify and find
solutions for projects which have failed to obtain strata
titles due to developers having wound up. Participants were
informed that there were 472 schemes involving wound up
developers. Other issues discussed were the responsibilities
of the Malaysian Department of Insolvency (MDI) and
private liquidators as well as the cost involved for strata title
applications.
b) Focus Group on Registering Property
The Focus Group continued to hold regular meetings during
the term under review to discuss the standardisation of
procedures and forms, statistics on collected and uncollected
titles, overall performance of registration of land transfer
and etc. The issue of banks selling loan documents to
lawyers was also highlighted to the Focus Group.
The Focus Group also discussed the rejection of applications
by the land offices and among the reasons cited for rejection
were the instruments were not fit for registration in
accordance to the National Land Code, existence of caveats
on titles, restrictions on title, dubious stamp certificate and
share errors.
4) Ministry of Finance 2014 Budget Focus Group
a) Focus Group on Providing Greater Access to Home
Ownership
Prior to the 2014 Budget announcement, the Ministry of
Finance (MoF) held a Focus Group on Providing Greater
Access to Home Ownership meeting on 30 July 2013. REHDA
submitted its proposals to the Minister of Finance and
impressed upon the Government that the focus of Budget
2014 should be towards ensuring easier and cheaper access to
affordable housing and not on curbing speculative activities
or foreign investment as proposed by some members of the
meeting.
Among the proposals put forward by REHDA were:
• Facilitation of more supply to meet demand in relevant
urban areas.
• Free up government land for affordable homes.
• Focus on building affordable housing by immediately
converting low cost quota to affordable housing.
• Keep acquisition costs low - expand the band of the
lower tiers and reduce stamp duty rates, first home
grant scheme of RM10,000 and etc.
• Concerted efforts required to keep compliance cost as
well as cost of doing business low to avoid further price
increase and widening of affordability gap.
• Facilitate financing for home buyers.
b) Focus Group on Prioritising Urban Development
REHDA was also invited by the Ministry of Finance to attend
a Focus Group on Prioritising Urban Development meeting
on 20 August 213. Among the issues highlighted by various
parties were the need to improve public transportation,
rising household debt especially among young consumers,
scarcity of land which has resulted in developments getting
further away from city centres, increased building material
prices as well as labour shortage and local authorities not
having sufficient budget to address issues such as public
transportation, waste disposal, safety and security, etc.
REHDA opined that with the cooperation of all parties,
property prices may be maintained and proposed the
following:
• Government land in strategic locations to be opened up
for affordable housing developments.
• Brownfield development in urban areas should be
encouraged by way of incentives such as higher plot
ratio, lower car parking requirements, etc.
• Reduce the minimum allowable unit size as start-up
homes for single people i.e. one bedroom apartment.
5) Amendments to Legislations
a) Review of Surveyor’s Fees - Dialogue with PEJUTA
PEJUTA hosted a discussion session following from a letter
from the Malaysian Developers’ Council (MDC) which
comprises REHDA, SHAREDA and SHEDA raising concerns
on the requirement to deposit 100% upfront payment to the
Board of Surveyors for title survey. MDC acknowledged
that such requirement was to avoid incidences of unpaid
professional fees but was of the view that any fees payable
should commensurate with the services rendered. MDC
had proposed a progressive payment method based on
percentage of survey works done to be introduced for a
fairer treatment to both the developers and surveyors.
b) Stamp Act
The Ministry of Finance (MoF) engaged with industry
players on 5 July 2013 to discuss the proposals by LHDN to
enhance the Stamp Act 1949. REHDA submitted feedback
which broadly focused on keeping costs of doing business
and cost of property ownership low for Malaysians and its
investors.
LHDN held a meeting on 3 March 2014 to gather further
input from stakeholders on the proposed amendments to
the Stamp Act. Amongst REHDA’s main concern on the
proposed amendments were the introduction of a new tier
with increased rates at 4% on the balance in excess of RM1.5
million and the imposition of ad valorem duty on the Sale
and Purchase Agreement (SPA) or similar instrument.
REHDA has written to the MoF to object to the proposals
which are contrary to the efforts of making cost of
homeownership low.
6) Task Force on Accounting and Taxation
a) Revenue Recognition Standard
REHDA participated in an outreach programme organised
by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (MASB) on
3 November 2013 to brief and update stakeholders on the
status of the new Revenue Standard.
Under the new Revenue Standard, revenue is recognised
over time if one of the following 3 criteria is met:
• the customer receives and consumes the benefit of the
entity’s performance as the entity performs;
• the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset
(e.g. work in progress) that the customer controls as the
asset is created or enhanced; and
• the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an
alternative use to the entity and the entity has a right to
payment for performance complete to date and expects
to fulfills the contract as promised.
The new standard of revenue recognition will subsume
IFRIC 15 and MASB has informed that it is targeted to be
issued in 2014. The effective date will be 1 January 2017,
nevertheless early adoption is permitted.
b) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Whilst in support of the introduction of GST by the
Government to make the current taxation more
comprehensive, efficient, transparent and business
friendly, REHDA highlighted its concerns that the
imposition of GST in its current proposed form would
have adverse impact on the affordability of housing to the
public at large.
REHDA Task Force on Accounting and Taxation, together
with its consultant, met several times to discuss the
industry’s issues and proposals to the Government. REHDA
submitted its proposal on 20 February 2014 for the Ministry
of Finance’s consideration so that the introduction of GST
would not place property developers and ultimately house
buyers in a major disadvantaged position compared to the
pre-GST regime.
Prior to the submission, REHDA held a meeting with
industry players from the construction sector on 6 January
2014 to garner support from the various organisations on
one of REHDA’s proposal to the Government which was to
zero rate certain building materials such as cement, steel
bars and ready-mixed concrete to lessen the GST impact
on property developers. The associations present were
receptive to REHDA’s proposal.
Among the issues raised by REHDA in the memorandum
submitted to the Ministry of Finance were:
• GST Relief Order to be applied to affordable housing.
• Fixed allocation for residual input tax credits for mixed
development.
• GST zero rating to major components of property
development projects.
• Rationalisation of stamp duty on transfer of real
properties.
• Transitional provisions for the property industry.
• Extending the GST joint venture scheme to property
developers.
• Group registration for companies that provide mixed
supplies.
• Consistency on the GST classification for properties.
• Definition of “basic fittings” in the supply of residential
properties.
REHDA held a press conference on 10 March 2014 to
highlight the impact of GST to the industry which was well
attended by members of the media as well as Presidents
and representatives of the various associations from the
construction industry.
7) MoU on Governance, Integrity and Anti-Corruption
In line with the Government’s initiative to promote good
governance, integrity and anti-corruption practices among
all stakeholders in the construction industry, REHDA was
invited by the Ministry of Works to participate in the signing
of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Governance,
Integrity and Anti-Corruption. The parties of the MoU are the
Government of Malaysia (represented by the Ministry of Works);
the construction industry comprising ACEM, IEM, MBAM, PAM,
RISM and REHDA; and the Malaysian Institute of Integrity
together with CIDB and MACC.
REHDA highlighted to the Ministry that one of the clauses of the
MoU requires the association to regulate its members to establish
an Integrity Unit within their companies and to engage a Certified
Integrity Officer. As such REHDA is not able to be a party to the
MoU as it is not within the purview of the association to impose
such requirements on its members.
The Ministry agreed to revise the said clause whereby the role
of the construction industry associations would be to encourage
their respective members to sign a Corporate Integrity Pledge as
well as to establish an Integrity Unit within their companies. The
revised MoU has yet to be circulated to the industry associations.
8) Building Industry President’s Council (BIPC)
The Building Industry President’s Council (BIPC) held four
meetings during the period under review. Among the issues
discussed at the BIPC meetings were the implementation of CIPA
Act as well as the draft CIPA Regulations, raids of construction
sites, Building Information Modelling (BIM), Goods and Services
Tax (GST) as well as REHDA’s GreenRE.
With regards to the submission of layout plans and planning
approvals, members of BIPC were encouraged to write to the
relevant authorities to voice objections on the proposal that only
registered planners are allowed to submit. REHDA had written to
Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh to object to the proposal by JPBD Perak on
the matter.
REHDA also presented a paper on the Impact of BTS
Implementation to BIPC members. After reviewing the impact
highlighted in the paper, members of BIPC indicated their
support to REHDA.
ECONOMIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
Chairman
Y Bhg Datuk Seri Fateh Iskandar Mohamed Mansor
• Meeting with the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) on the
Property Market
The Economic Planning Unit (EPU) held a meeting on 4 July
2013 to obtain input from various stakeholders on the current
status and prospect of the property market. Among the issues
raised were the importance of location of affordable housing
developments, excess supply of low cost housing in certain
states, occupancy rates of office spaces and shopping complexes
and concerns on the marketing strategies adopted by developers
such as large cash rebates and the Developers Interest Bearing
Scheme (DIBS).
REHDA highlighted that imposition of ban on innovative
financing packages such as DIBS offered by developers would
affect affordability and further widen the affordability gap. In
order to reduce the affordability gap, REHDA maintained that
supply should be increased to stabilize house prices.
• Meeting with the MIDA Investment Committee on
Investment in the Real Estate Sector
The MIDA Investment Committee invited REHDA to present
the updates on the trend of investment in real estate sector
on 30 September 2013. Among the areas highlighted in the
presentation were investment trends in the primary property
market, real estate investment contribution, contribution of the
construction industry to the economy as well as key challenges
and the way forward for the property industry.
• Ministry of Finance Economic Report 2013/2014 Survey
REHDA continued to provide input and views on the housing
sector for the Ministry of Finance’s Economic Report survey.
Among the areas covered were housing sector’s performance,
price increase trend and the main contributor to price increase,
trend and main cause of property overhang as well as demand
trend on special build office space and business complex. REHDA
also highlighted the problems and issues faced by developers
amongst which were unclear/non-transparent release mechanism
and non-standardized bumi quotas and discounts, increased
compliance cost and cost of doing business, shortage of supply
and increasing prices of building materials and labour as well as
developers’ sentiment for 2013 and 2014.
• Committee on Monitoring of Unsold Properties in the
Klang Valley
Government’s Committee on Monitoring of Unsold Properties
in the Klang Valley met on 6 November 2013 to discuss the
issue of property overhang. The Ministry’s National Housing
Department presented statistics from NAPIC on the residential,
purpose-built office and shopping complexes overhang in the
Klang Valley, Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. It was analysed that
the common factor contributing to overhang of these categories
of properties was unsuitable location while other factors include
timing of project launching, pricing, lack of accessibility, high
operational cost and etc.
In response to the suggestion by the Ministry that local
authorities monitor the supply scenario and stop approvals if
there are signs of oversupply in the market as well as reduce plot
ratio on new approvals, REHDA highlighted that such a move
would impact the industry and economic performance. REHDA
opined that the Government should leave the decision on the
supply and marketability of projects to the developers who
would undertake proper analysis and market feasibility studies
before embarking on any project.
• Technical Working Group (TWG) on SMEs
SME Corporation Malaysia, which has been tasked by the
Economic Planning Unit of the Prime Minister’s Department
to take the lead on the Technical Working Group on SMEs in
preparation of the 11th Malaysia Plan, held meetings on 24
February and 10 March 2014 with relevant stakeholders from
both the public and private sectors. REHDA was invited as a
member of the Technical Working Group. The TWG will prepare
inputs on the status of the implementation of SMEs development
programme (2011 - 2013), the issues and challenges faced by
target groups and the strategies and programmes planned to
assist the target groups.
REHDA provided input and views on the challenges faced
by the property industry namely the increasing land cost,
compliance and contribution costs, dependency on and lack
of foreign workers as well as the imposition of the Build-ThenSell delivery system by 2015. REHDA has since submitted a
paper on the issues and challenges as well as proposals to SME
Corporation Malaysia.

INFRASTRUCTURE, UTILITIES &
ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE
Chairman
Ir Tiah Oon Ling
Study on Capital and Contribution Charges
At the request of the Ministry of Finance, REHDA conducted
a detailed study on the capital contributions charges imposed
on developers for developments, as a percentage against Gross
Development Cost (GDC). Results of the study found that the average
contribution cost including roads and drainage cost against GDC
for mixed, landed and highrise development were 13.7%, 7.65% and
5.95% respectively.
REHDA also met with the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing
and Local Government on 10 April 2014 to discuss the issue of utility
charges borne by housing developers in property developments. The
meeting deliberated on the various contribution costs involved for
different types of developments as well as additional requirements
imposed by local authorities on developers which are not included in
the original approved plan. KPKT has requested REHDA to further
provide information on any other such imposition.
Water Services Industry (Water Reticulation and Plumbing)
Rules 2014 and Water Services Industry (Water Services
Deposits, Fees and Charges) Regulations 2014
The new Water Services Industry (Water Reticulation and Plumbing)
Rules 2014 and Water Services Industry (Water Services Deposits,
Fees and Charges) Regulations 2014 came into force on 1 February
2014. The Water Services Industry (Water Reticulation and Plumbing)
Rules 2014 regulates the technical and performance standards for
the design, construction installation, operation of water reticulation
system, pipe fittings and any matters related to it whilst the Water
Services (Water Services Deposits, Fees and Charges) Regulations

types of water services for developers and users.
Installation on Water Heater Electrical Wiring
REHDA attended a meeting with the Energy Commission (EC),
the Association of Chartered Engineer Malaysia (ACEM) and the
Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) on 16 October 2013 to
discuss the issue of installation of the final circuit for water heater
following from a fatal electrical accident due to electrical current
leakage of water heater. ACEM informed that some developers
have incorporated the resident current device (RCD) circuit
requirements with proper design and installation fittings shown
in the drawing to be submitted to Local Authority. However during
construction, some contractors failed to install accordingly,
leading to unfortunate incidences. Further to the meeting, EC
has reminded that all residential premises shall be installed
with final circuit for residual current device in accordance to the
Electricity Regulations 1994. Housing developers who provides
electric water heaters or circuit for electric water heaters for
their residential developments need to ensure that the circuit is
equipped with RCD with rated residual of 10mA prior to delivery
of the residential premises to the buyers.
Smart Partnership Programme by Telekom Malaysia (TM)
The Smart Partnership programme, introduced by Telekom
Malaysia (TM) effective January 2013, requires developers to pay
contribution fees between RM2,500 to RM4,000 per house for TM’s
infrastructure in their respective development areas. Apart from
leading to additional cost of contribution fees and consultation
fees which developers have to bear, some members reported that
applications at OSC level have been rejected for failing to indicate
telecommunication infrastructure in their plan as a result of not
subscribing to the Smart Partnership Programme.
REHDA met with TM on 2 October 2013 to discuss and obtain
further understanding on the Smart Partnership Programme
by TM.
Amongst the issues raised were:
• Cost to subscribe to the Smart Partnership Programme and
the types of packages;
• Clarification and transparent guidelines by TM on the
programme; and
• Request for clearance letter from TM to confirm that “surat
sokongan” from TM is not necessary to obtain CCC.
REHDA has further written to the Suruhanjaya Komunikasi
dan Multimedia Malaysia (SKMM), the Minister of
Communication and Multimedia Malaysia and CEO of TM for
further engagements to find a resolution to this matter. TM has
responded and a meeting with them is being arranged.
Malaysian Standards on Urban Stormwater Management
The above Technical Committee meeting was held on 5 June 2013
to discuss the working draft of Malaysian Standards on On-Site
Detention (OSD) and Rainwater Harvesting System (SPAH). At
Jabatan Kerajaan Tempatan’s (JKT) request for further information
on SPAH implementation in development projects, a survey on the
matter has been conducted amongst members, findings of which
have been submitted to JKT.
Consultation Seminar on TNB Connection
The Energy Commission (EC) in collaboration with Tenaga
Nasional Berhad (TNB) invited REHDA to participate in the
review of the terms/statement of TNB connection charges (SCC)
affecting consumers for both individual domestic and nonindividual domestic groups. The proposed review is the first
revision of the SCC since it was first introduced in 1995. The
consultation session was to obtain feedback from the relevant
stakeholders and one of the issues discussed in the meeting was
the cable charges for additional cable length. TNB proposed
that cable length be shortened from 6km to 3km for each circuit
from the nearest available source of supply. REHDA highlighted
that the proposal will increase cost of development and would
eventually, lead to higher prices.

CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY AND LABOUR
COMMITTEE
Chairman
CIDB Expert Standing Committee on Slope Safety
CIDB held several meetings to discuss the proposal to establish a
central national agency for a systematic, efficient and consistent
management of slopes in Malaysia which would act as a OneStop Center for submissions to the local authorities. Among the
issues deliberated include the problems and reasons for landslide
occurrences in Malaysia and the impact of socio economy such as
loss of human lives, injuries, damage to properties and vehicles,
restoration cost, etc.
REHDA highlighted the importance and need for standardisation
and transparency during submission process as developers are
challenged with different rules and requirements among the
different local authorities.
Visit by the Ministry of Works
The Committee hosted a delegation from the Monitoring Agency
and Skills Division of the Ministry of Works on 10 May 2013 at
Wisma REHDA. The purpose of the visit was to foster a closer
relationship between REHDA and the Ministry and to discuss ways
to enhance the delivery of services as well as resolve issues related to
the construction industry.
During the discussion, REHDA highlighted some of the challenges
faced by the industry:
• Shortage of skilled local workers and dependency on foreign
workers;
• Limited incentives to promote the use of Industrialised
Building System (IBS); and
• Issue on accredited checker for hill slope development.
The delegation was also briefed on REHDA’s GreenRE rating tool and
taken on a tour of Wisma REHDA with highlights of the building’s
green features.
Industrialised Building System (IBS)
CIDB held a dialogue session with industry players on 21 March
2014 to provide a platform for views and proposals pertaining to
the adoption of IBS by the industry. Prior to the dialogue session,
REHDA invited members to submit the challenges faced in IBS
application in their respective developments as well as incentives
needed to encourage greater participation of developers in IBS.
Among the challenges cited by members are as follows:
• Usage of IBS will result in 5% to 20% increase in cost;
• Quality - issue of leakages at joints;
• Lack of IBS component suppliers, limited availability of open
manufacturers or open supply;
• Lack of skilled workers to operate and maintain IBS system;
• General market perception associating IBS with low quality
homes;
• Lack of incentives provided to developers for the adoption of
IBS;
• Legislation, guidelines, requirements, etc impede the adoption
of IBS systems and products;
• High custom duties on transportation vehicles, lifting
equipment, etc; and
• Infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc) capacity restrictions result
in inefficiencies in transportation leading to increased cost of
doing business.
To accelerate the adoption of IBS by industry players, REHDA
has put forward a comprehensive proposal requesting for further
incentives for the adoption of IBS for CIDB’s consideration. REHDA
was of the view that incentives should be given to all stakeholders
from commencement of the development process to the end users
of the product i.e. the purchaser of the IBS properties. Incentives
range from fast lane approvals for IBS projects as well as higher plot
ratio/density to tax exemptions/tax relief for IBS trainings, capital
expenditure, government subsidy for affordable housing using IBS
construction and etc while incentives for purchasers to include 100%
loan for house buyers, stamp duty exemption for house buyers as
well as rebates. REHDA also proposed that the government allocates
special funding to ease IBS construction and development burden
and special loans with low interest rate for developers meeting the
50% mark of IBS in buildings.

associate members and 2 new branch affiliate members.
A Task Force named REHDA Membership Value Proposition has
been formed to look at enhancing the benefits and services provided
to members. The Task Force had met 4 times during the review
period to discuss and propose additional membership benefits
which amongst others include:
• regular educational sessions like trainings, seminars and
forums to be held regionally;
• special development programmes for SME developers;
• information/knowledge sharing with members via avenues
such as on-line system, induction session, study trips, REHDA
Resource Centre, etc;
• affiliation with international counterparts;
• use of Wisma REHDA as a mobile office especially for outstation
members;

and business become more challenging. Participation in REHDA
Youth provides the younger executives of member companies to
network among their peers and focus on specific agenda as REHDA
prepares them as future industry leaders.

respondents took part in the survey. The findings from the survey

it is hoped that the public will start to track the direction of the survey
with interest.

The REHDA Facebook is created with the aim to further engage the
public, particularly members, with constantly updated information
on REHDA’s events, activities, announcements and industry related
news. To date, there are 166 likes on the REHDA Malaysia Facebook.
Whilst survey findings in 1H 2013 showed an upward trend for
upcoming launches, performance in 2H 2013 indicated a slight
decrease in launches and sales performance. Generally, developers
were neutral and pessimistic on the outlook of the property market for
1H 2014 and 2H 2014. Most of the respondents gave negative views on
the impact of the cooling measures announced in Budget 2014. Besides
reporting on performance and outlook, the survey also covered issues
affecting developers and gathered feedback from members on the
latest policies concerning the industry.
All members are encouraged to regularly visit the Facebook at

• REHDA Personality Award 2013 – Tan Sri Datuk Eddy Chen Lok Loi

Apart from reporting the performance of the property market
and outlook in their respective states, the three Associations also
deliberated on development issues affecting developer members such
as amendments to the Acts and policies, new guidelines, increased
compliance cost, shortage of skilled labour and the cooling measures
announced in Budget 2014. MDC is of the view that the cooling
measures will have adverse impact on the housing and property
market.
MDC had, subsequently after the meeting in November 2013 issued
a memorandum to the Prime Minister who is also the Minister of
Finance to highlight concerns and proposed recommendations
on the measures introduced by the Government, meant to control
house prices and curb speculation activities in the property market,
mainly on:
• Review of Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) rates;
• Foreign ownership threshold;
• Requirement to disclose all details pertaining to sales pricing and
the banning of DIBS; and
• Goods and Services Tax (GST).
In the recent Joint Communiqué issued at the MDC meeting held
in Sabah, the Council requested the Government to review the
mechanism and qualifying criteria for end financing especially first
time home owners, as feedback from member developers reported that
their purchasers were having problem obtaining housing loan. MDC
also urged the Government to review the measures taken against the
use of foreign labour as the shortage of human resource is affecting
project development and delivery.

building. The last visit was to the Macquarie Bank Building, a $350
million development comprising 33,000sqm of Net Lettable Area

ISSUES AND EVENTS
Meetings, Discussions and Dialogues
• Threshold for Foreign Purchase
A discussion with PTG Johor on the State Government’s proposal
to review the ceiling price for foreign purchase from the current
RM500,000 to RM1,000,000 was held on 9 May 2013. The State
Government was on the assumption that foreigners are snapping
up properties in Johor but the Branch Committee presented some
factual feedback to the authority as follows:
• the present policy is already regulating the number of
houses that can be purchased by foreigners;
• evidence of sales during MAPEX showed that foreign
purchase accounts for less than 5% of sales transactions;
• inappropriate time to increase the ceiling price for foreign
purchase as it will give the signal that our housing policy
keeps on flip flopping, the present RM500,000 ceiling price
was just implemented on 1 July 2010; and
• the housing industry in Johor has been in the overhang
or oversupply situation for the past 10 years and it is just
beginning to recover in the last 2 years.
• Dialogue Session with State EXCO for Housing
The Branch Chairman and committee members met up with the
new State EXCO for Housing, YB Datuk Haji Abd Latif bin Haji
Bandi, in Kota Iskandar, Nusajaya on 3 July 2013. The dialogue
mainly centred on 4 main outstanding matters as follows:
• Charges Imposed by Perisind Venture Sdn Bhd (PVSB)
REHDA Johor, through many letters to the former MB Johor
(copies to UPENJ and Utility Agencies) raised members’
concern over the unreasonable charges imposed by PVSB.
REHDA Johor urged the State Government to look seriously
into the matter for the healthy development of the industry,
interest of consumers and the rakyat.
• Bumi Quota on Industrial and Commercial Properties in Johor
The lower demand than supply has resulted in developers
holding these properties for up to 2 years or more, incurring
additional interest/holding costs. REHDA Johor has proposed
that the State Government purchase Bumi quota properties
or alternatively, for the State to reduce the Bumi quota to
20% at a 15% discount. The 20% reduction is similar to that
of residential properties with the selling price of more than
RM300,000 approved by the State Government in 2004.
• Bumi Release put on hold
Unsold Bumi properties has not been released since May
2013 and applications have been piling up. Developers are
affected not only due to holding cost and cash flow but also
vandalism of the properties.
• Johor Low Cost Housing Policy
REHDA Johor has been appealing to the State Government
since May 2012 on extending the policy to areas outside
Iskandar Malaysia but there has been no response from the
State Government so far.
• Courtesy Call on Deputy Director of JPBD
On 8 July 2013, the Branch Chairman together with committee
members paid a courtesy visit to Encik Abdulhan bin Abdul Lamit,
the Deputy Director of Johor State Town and Country Planning
Department (JPBD). Issue discussed was the Draft Guidelines
for Service Apartments in Johor. REHDA Johor provided the
following feedback to JPBD:
• Many service apartments are developed for medium-income
earners in Larkin, Plentong and Bakar Batu areas and the
belief that there is high demand for service apartments
among high-income earners is not true.
• The high number of applications for developing service
apartment compared to condominium or apartment is
understandable as developers had to balance between the
high land prices and planning guidelines for condominium
and apartment. It is not viable for developers to build
condominium and apartment where density is restricted.
REHDA Johor proposed that JPBD revises the density for
condominium and apartment to a more realistic figure such
as 80 units per acre and 100 units per acre, respectively.
• JPBD should remove the restriction on location and size as
to where service apartment can or cannot be located and
allow market forces to determine the demand instead.
• The guidelines providing for a minimum of 40’ – 50’ setback
to buildings is not viable, especially in the town area due to
high land prices and smaller plots of available commercial
lands. The UBBL Guideline should be adopted instead.
• Low Cost Housing Policy for Developments outside Iskandar
Malaysia (IM)
Several Branch Committee members attended a preliminary briefing
by UPEN Johor on 30 September 2013 at Kota Iskandar, Nusajaya,
Johor. REHDA Johor’s proposals to UPEN Johor were as follows:
• Strata units for affordable housing should not be restricted
to IM Flagship Zones due to escalating land prices within
and outside of IM area.
50 Branch Reports
• Pace of development of Perumahan Komuniti Johor (PKJ)
and Rumah Mampu Milik Johor (RMMJ) houses to be in
tandem with the development of other types of units and
not upfront.
Such considerations will help ensure the successful completion
of projects and avoid potential abandonment. It will also help
the economy and ensure the healthy development of the housing
industry in Johor.
Following from the proposal, UPEN Johor and REHDA Johor had
further discussion on 16 October 2013.
• OSC 3.0
KPKT organised a workshop on “Pengenalan Model Baru OSC 3.0”
for committee representatives of REHDA Branches throughout
Malaysia. The half-day workshop was held on 8 April 2014 at
Kementerian Kesejahteraan Bandar, Perumahan dan Kerajaan
Tempatan, Putrajaya. OSC 3.0 will come into effect on 1 June 2014.
REHDA Johor was represented by Mr Wong Boon Lang, Johor
Committee Member for Northern Zone.
• TNB and REHDA Dialogue
The above dialogue cum meeting was held at Wisma TNB JB on 18
October 2013. Many issues confronting member companies were
brought up for discussion with Encik Mohd Yusof, the General
Manager of TNB Johor and his team. 18 members attended the
fruitful session.
• Foreign Ownership
The Branch Committee attended a meeting with PTG Johor on
25 October 2013. Further to the meeting, REHDA Johor wrote
officially to the Menteri Besar of Johor, presenting the following
views and feedback on the proposed consent fee:
• the imposition of 4% – 5% consent fee for foreign purchase
will affect Johor’s economy and adversely affect the housing
industry;
• the State Government must view the increase in consent fee
from the perspective of affordability, the flip-flop policy
will promote a negative perception instead;
• foreign investment in property sector is significant to help
spur Johor’s housing industry;
REHDA Johor further proposed that:
• should there be any increase, the consent fee to be capped at
2% of purchase price;
• no consent is required for industrial properties;
• cut-off date should be based on SPA date; and
• to extend timeframe for registering strata properties from
the present 1 year to 2 years.
• Foreign Ownership Sub-Sales
On 3 December 2013, the Branch Committee together with the
Johor Bar Council met up with PTG Johor on the issue of sub-sales
to foreigners. A summary on the issues discussed is as follows:
• Sales to foreigners from primary market.
• RM1,000,000 ceiling price should be across the State (wef 1
May 2014).
• Based on Kebenaran Merancang (KM) or KM (B) or Building
Plan approval.
• PTG agreed not to restrict the sale of released bumi lots to
foreigners.
• 2% consent fee.
• New policy not affecting Medini projects.
• Sub-sale market.
• New Guidelines on Foreign Ownership
REHDA Johor attended the briefing organised by PTG Johor on
19 February 2014 and wrote officially to the Menteri Besar of
Johor (MB) on 5 March 2014 requesting clarification whether the
increase ceiling price of RM1,000,000 was based on date of SPA
signed and stamped or based on KM’s approved. REHDA Johor in
the same letter also appealed to the MB to waive the RM1,000,000
ceiling price for:
• projects that have been launched; and
• projects where KM (B) or Building Plan had been approved
by the Local Authorities.
• Imposition of 1% GDV on Service Apartment
The Branch Committee initiated a meeting with the Director of
PTG Johor regarding the implementation which took effect from
1 January 2014 (Pekeliling PTGJ 1/2014 dated 1 January 2014).
The rationale for the imposition as informed by the authority,
was to raise funds for the State Government to provide amenities
and facilities for occupants of service apartments. The Branch
Committee provided the following feedback during the meeting
on 17 April 2014:
• The imposition of 1% GDV on service apartment will be
detrimental to the economic growth and housing industry
in Johor.
• The imposition will also be seen as unjust as it will add to
cost of doing business and increase house prices further.
REHDA Johor will submit an official appeal to the Government to
relook at Pekeliling PTGJ 1/2014 to withdraw the imposition of 1%
GDV on service apartment for the greater good of Johor’s economy
in general and the housing industry in particular.
• BLESS and e-Services for Developers

that the guideline on Bumiputera reserved lots be reverted

5% payment to AAHB was rejected.
– The appeal board recommended that the new guidelines on
Bumiputera reserved lots as approved by EXCO Perak on 14
August 2013 be varied as follows:
• The new policy will be prospective in application.
• All properties under RM350,000.00 will need to provide a
5% discount for sale to Bumiputera and all properties above
RM350,000.00 will need to provide a 7% discount for sale to
Bumiputera. For any unsold Bumiputera reserved lots, the same
percentage shall be payable to AAHB in consideration for release
for sale to non-Bumiputera.
• Developers can apply for 50% release of any unsold Bumiputera
reserved lots upon 70% completion of construction, that is, up to
roofing stage and the balance 50% immediately upon attaining
CFO/CCC. The sub-condition that the balance 50% release upon
CFO/CCC is conditional upon all non-Bumiputera lots being 100%
sold which shall be interpreted to exclude any undesirable lots.
• The Bumiputera reserved lots shall be endorsed on title and not
as a ‘restriction of interest in title’. Any Bumiputera reserved lots
that is sold to Bumiputera can only be re-sold to Bumiputera
thereafter.

was held to follow up on the revision of the above Manual on 2
September 2013. The Branch was updated that the paper for adoption
on some proposals made during the workshop has been forwarded
to the Pengarah prior to tabling for approval by the State Planning
Committee. The following matters were also highlighted:
– requirement of green area of 2 ha per 1,000 population
to be amended to 0.5 ha per 1,000 population where 30%
of the green area to be landscaped and others can be for
multipurpose hall and library;
– all class 3 and 4 land approvals must be table to MTES for
approval;
– on population per unit, JPBD’s guideline is still at 4.5 persons
with exception of SOHO at 2 persons per unit for 450 sq ft;
– other issues brought up were provision of car parks for
visitors where certain Council imposed 2 car parks + 20%,
making visitors car park 40% of the total number of units.
• Meeting on Standardised Car Park Rate for Private Car
Park under MBPJ
REHDA Selangor attended a meeting to discuss the standard
ceiling rate for private car park under MBPJ on 20 September
2013. MBPJ presented their proposed car park fees according
to categories such as open spaces, shopping mall, hotels, valet,
reserved car parks and etc. REHDA Selangor was requested to
submit comments and suggestions pertaining to the matter.
• Majlis Dialog Bajet 2014
A 2-day dialogue on Budget 2014 was organised by the Selangor
State Treasury from 23 – 24 September, officiated by YAB Tan Sri
Dato’ Seri Abd Khalid Ibrahim, the Menteri Besar of Selangor.
Among the topics correlated with REHDA were on problems
associated with the management of stratified properties and
the steps taken by the state and COB. Other topics include the
adoption and drive for green technology and green guidelines for
development within the state.
• Dialogue on Standardised Car Park Rate by MBPJ
A dialogue on standardised car park rate between REHDA
Selangor and OSC Unit of MBPJ was held on 2 October 2013. The
state’s Head of OSC briefed that MBPJ will set up a Task Force to
look into the two issues as follows:
– Car Park Rates – MBPJ does not have plans to impose standard
car park rates but would like to propose different rates suitable
to support their transportation and zoning plans for PJ.
– Car park as Accessory Parcel – the planning guidelines
intention is that car-park is meant for the use of the
occupants and hence every strata unit must be accorded an
accessory car park. Additional car parks must be deemed as
common property and if the Developer wants to own or sell
the car park as a business venture, the said car-park area
shall be counted as part of the allowed plot ratio.
REHDA Selangor pointed out that such ruling will have great
implications especially in integrated developments, where
provision and control of car-parks is critical for the success of the
development and has proposed the following:
– MBPJ should not make any amendments to the current
planning guidelines and developers must ensure car parks
are provided according to the planning requirement.
– For residential development, it was agreed that developers
provide sufficient car parks to the owners as stated in the
planning guidelines.
– For commercial development, parking is based on “right to
park” concept to optimise the usage of the car parks and for
easy maintenance by the developers.
• TM Smart Partnership Meeting
The meeting between REHDA Selangor and TM Selangor held on 3
October 2013 at Wisma REHDA was attended by 14 members and 8

on the costs of TM Smart Partnership and the packages that it offers.
There are 3 types of packages offered as follows:
i. Infrastructure
Model
(basic
telecommunication
infrastructure ready upon completion)
ii. Basic Service Model (bundled infrastructure with 2 years
free Unifi)
iii. Enhanced Service Model (smart partnership with developers
which include CCTV, home & office automations, personal
safety and digital signage)
The estimated cost is between RM1,000 to RM3,000 per unit (for
basic infrastructure model) with the following justifications:
– The cost would depend on the project viability through
demand study and analysis. If the project is viable, TM will
come in with its own cost or otherwise, TM will discuss
with the developer (maybe to share cost between TM and
developer);
– Viability of the project i.e. depending on types of
development, costing and the potential demand TM’s rule
of thumb:
• TM will supply if there is 50% demand occupancy of a
new project.
• TM will request purchasers to sign up for the package
with TM as the initial stage to show their commitment.
• REHDA explained the difficulties and challenges in the
event there is no purchasers signing before the houses
are completed.

40% of the residential unit when Penang and KL are respectively
at 10% each. REHDA Selangor is looking at 20% visitor car park

Among issues raised and discussed were as follows:
– Clarification on submission of document due to TNB
Selangor restructuring exercise. Effective May 2014, the
branch will be structured into two divisions – Customer
Service Divisions and Asset Management Division.
– Distribution progress matters and the SLA which needs to
be revisited and reactivated to be current and updated in
order to avoid misunderstanding as developers rely on an
M&E Consultant for submission.

and PBT.
– Standardisation of TNB processes due to a lot of changes
for PBU project. Members were concerned that whenever
supply is not available on time, developers will be charged
a penalty.
– TNB cable and equipment security – members highlighted
that TNB often accused and charged contractors for lost or
stolen cable at project site. Such cases, the value of surcharge
is even higher than project value and proposed TNB to
consider and relook at the penalty especially for contactors
with small projects.

• Mesyuarat Bagi Membincangkan Kedudukan Terkini dan
Prospek Pasaran Hartanah di Malaysia
Unit Perancang Ekonomi (EPU) in the Prime Minister’s
Department, together with KPKT, held ‘Mesyuarat Bagi
Membincangkan Kedudukan Terkini dan Prospek Pasaran
Hartanah di Malaysia’ on 4 July 2013 and 6 November 2013 to
discuss and review the current status, issues and prospect of the
property market in Malaysia in particular, Kuala Lumpur and
Selangor.
Some of the issues raised and discussed include concerns on
marketing strategies adopted by developers e.g. cash rebates and
Developer Interest Bearing Scheme (DIBS), the importance of
affordable housing development location, certain states having
excess low cost housing which may be due to unfavourable
locations and occupancy rates of office space and shopping
complexes should be monitored especially with the upcoming
development of projects such as Tun Razak Exchange (TRX),
Menara Warisan, PJ Sentral, etc.
KPKT presented the latest statistics and findings on property
overhang for residential, purpose-built office buildings and
shopping complexes in Klang Valley in particular, Kuala Lumpur
and Selangor.
The above meeting also deliberated on whether Local Authorities
should monitor the supply scenario and stop approvals if there are
any signs of market oversupply and proposed reducing plot ratio
on new approvals. REHDA opined that stopping any approvals
may impact the overall industry and economic performance, and
that the Government should leave it to developers to decide on the
supply and project marketability as the latter will usually conduct
detailed market analysis and feasibility studies prior to launching
any development projects.

• Telekom Malaysia (TM) Smart Partnership Programme
REHDA WP Kuala Lumpur and REHDA Selangor held a meeting
with TM Selangor on 2 October 2013 at REHDA Headquarters,
Kelana Jaya to discuss and better understand TM’s Smart
Partnership Program and highlight other industry issues.
TM explained that the telecommunication infrastructure will
usually be provided if there is sufficient demand of at least 50%
subscribers and will determine the project viability based on the
type of property, location and number of units. If the development
project is viable, TM will bear infrastructure costs and if its not,
TM will need to hold discussions with the developer to find a
solution.
TM has introduced the Smart Partnership Program where 3 types
of packages are available for selection namely, Infrastructure
Model, Basic Service Model and Enhanced Service Model in which
developers may opt to take part in this non-mandatory program
to enable broadband services to be readily available upon project
completion. Estimated costs is between RM1,000 – RM3,000
per unit for the Infrastructure Model. TM has also clarified
that for a development project to obtain CCC, a clearance letter
(surat sokongan) from TM is not required but to date, no official
documentation has been provided by TM.
REHDA has proposed that TM come up with a clear pricing list of
charges to provide better indication and certainty to developers on
the overall costs involved such as guidelines set by TNB and IWK,
improve Unifi content and that such basic telecommunication
services should be provided by TM as Malaysia moves towards a
developed nation.
REHDA Malaysia has also written to Suruhanjaya Komunikasi
and Multimedia Malaysia (SKMM) and the Ministry of
Communications and Multimedia Malaysia to raise the industry’s
concerns on TM’s requirements on the Smart Partnership
Programme.

• Proposed En-Bloc Sale (Collective Sale) Legislation/Forum on
Proposed En-Bloc Sale (Collective Sale) Legislation in
Malaysia
REHDA WP Kuala Lumpur initiated a proposal on the need for
En-Bloc (Collective Sale) legislation to encourage revitalization
of the city centre in Malaysia, especially in the area of urban
regeneration particularly for Kuala Lumpur. As there is presently
no legislation to specifically provide for the redevelopment of an
existing development, a 100% consensus needs to be obtained
from all parcel owners. With the proposed En-Bloc (Collective Sale)
legislation in place, it will provide an avenue to encourage property
owners to convert unused and under utilised land and promote
development to its potential allowable development i.e. higher
density or plot ratio.
The Branch’s proposals to JKPTG was as follows:
• For developments (with strata titles) above 20 years, at least 75%
majority consent of owners based on share value;
• For developments (with strata titles) between 10 years and 20
years, at least 80% majority consent of owners based on share
value; and
• For developments (with strata titles) less than 10 years, at least
90% majority consent of owners based on share value.

A subsidiary is consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the results of
subsidiary acquired and disposed off during the year are included in the consolidated statement of income and expenditure from the
effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. The assets and liabilities of a subsidiary are measured
at their fair values at the date of acquisition and these values are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. The difference between the
cost of an acquisition and the fair value of the Branch’s share of net assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition is included
in the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill or negative goodwill arising on consolidation.
Intra transactions, balances and resulting unrealised gains are eliminated on consolidation and the consolidated financial statements
reflect external transactions only. Unrealised losses are eliminated on consolidation unless costs cannot be recovered.

recoverable amounts, if in the opinion of the committee members, the recoverable amounts are permanently less than their carrying value.
Freehold land and buildings are not depreciated as the properties are held for investment potential.
No depreciation is provided on building under construction at end of year.
Leasehold land and building is amortised over lease period.

(f) Payables

(g) Provisions for liabilities
Provisions for liabilities are recognised when the Association has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be
made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
(h) Cash flow statement
The Association adopts the indirect method in the preparation of cash flow statement.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and at bank and deposits at call, net of outstanding bank overdrafts, if any. Deposits
which are held as security for credit facilities granted are excluded.
(i) Employee benefits
(i) Short term benefits
Wages, salaries and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are
rendered by employees of the Association. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised
when employees render services that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Non-accumulating compensated
absences, such as sick and medical leaves are recognised when the absences occur.
(ii) Defined contribution plan
Contributions to defined contribution plan are recognised as an expense in the income statement in the period to which they
relate.
(j) Investments
Investments in quoted shares are held on long term basis. These are stated at cost unless, in the opinion of the directors, there have been
a permanent diminution in the value of investments, in which case, allowance for impairment losses would be made.
Investments in subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses
is in accordance with Note 3(m).
On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is recognised in the income
statement.
Investments in other non-current investments are stated at cost unless, in the opinion of the committees, there have been a permanent
diminution in value of investments, in which case, allowance for impairment losses would be made.
(k) Income taxes
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred taxes. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes
payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year. It is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet.
Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable
temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax
credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused
tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or
negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the
time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
eferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled,
D
based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised in the income
statement, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged
or credited directly in equity, or when it arises from a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is
included in the resulting goodwill or negative goodwill.
31st December 2013
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d.)
(l) Property development costs
Property development costs comprise all costs that are directly attributable to development activities or that can be allocated on a
reasonable basis to such activities.
When the financial outcome of a development activity can be reliably estimated, property development revenue and expenses are
recognised in the income statement by using the stage of completion method. The stage of completion is determined by the proportion
that property development costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total property development costs.
Where the financial outcome of a development activity cannot be reliably estimated, property development revenue is recognised only
to the extent of property development costs incurred that is probable will be recoverable, and property development costs on properties
sold are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Any expected loss on a development project, including costs to be incurred over the defects liability period, is recognised as an expense
immediately. Property development costs not recognised as an expense are recognised as an asset, which is measured at the lower of
cost and net realisable value.
The excess of revenue recognised in the income statement over billings to purchasers is classified as accrued billings within trade
receivables and the excess of billings to purchasers over revenue recognised in the income statement is classified as progress billings
within trade payables.
(m)Impairment of assets
At the balance sheet date, the Association reviews the carrying values of its assets, other than deferred tax assets and financial assets, as
to determine whether there is any indication that those assets might be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying
values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. Recoverable amount is the higher of net selling price and value in use, which is
measured by reference to discounted future cash flows. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets, or if it is not possible,
for the cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is charged to income statement immediately, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount. Any impairment loss of
a revalued assets is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent of previously recognised revaluation surplus for the same asset.
Reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is recorded where there is an indication that the impairment losses for the
asset no longer exist or have decreased. The reversal is recognised to the extent of the carrying value of the asset that would have been
determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had not impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in the income
statement immediately, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount. A reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited
directly to revaluation surplus. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognised as
an expense in the income statement, a reversal of that impairment loss is recognised as income in the income statement.
(n) Financial instruments
Financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet include fixed deposits, cash and bank balances, receivables and payables. The
accounting policies on recognition and measurement of these items are disclosed in their respective accounting policies.
Financial instruments are offset when the Association has a legally enforceable right to set off and intends to settle either on net basis or
to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(a) The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments :Fixed deposits, cash and bank balances
The carrying amount of fixed deposits, cash and bank balances approximates fair value due to the relatively short term maturity of
these instruments.
(b) Trade and other receivables and payables
The historical cost carrying amount of receivables and payables subject to normal trade credit terms approximates fair value. The
carrying amounts of other receivables and payables are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of their short maturity.
* It is not practical to estimate the fair value of investment in subsidiary companies as there are no close comparison available to determine
their fair values. However, the committee members are of the opinion that the carrying amount represents recoverable value.
