Government plans to set realistic low-cost home prices

SEPANG: A study is being carried out to determine a "more realistic" price of owning a house under the Government's low-cost housing scheme in view of the increasing cost of construction materials.

Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Chor Chee Heungsaid a RM70,000 price tag for a low-cost unit would be more realistic compared to the current range of RM35,000 to RM45,000.

"The cost of construction materials and labour and other things has gone up a lot, so RM35,000 to RM45,000 is no longer viable.

"We are currently studying when is the best time (to increase the prices). We are thinking about it; and how to go about it," he told a press conference before launching a seminar on public housing organised by the National Professors Council here.

Chor explained that under the people's housing programme managed by the Government, Malay-sians whose monthly household income does not exceed RM2,500 can purchase low-cost houses at RM35,000.

He said the Federal Government had informed its state counterparts of the proposal to allow an increase in low-cost house prices but he assured that that is nowhere near implementation for now.

Shot in the arm for public hospitals

China is restructuring its healthcare as it considers this the countrys most important strategic investment for the future. PUBLIC hospitals should allocate more of their medical resources to the ordinary people rather than set up special or VIP medical centres for the rich, some policymakers told Chinas parliament session in March. Of course, rich people have the freedom to buy premium service, but they should get it from private hospitals, said Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference representative Feng Shiliang. This is fair comment as many provincial and city-level government hospitals offer VIP services where those who can pay are given preference for treatment. Last year, the Chinese Health Ministry introduced a healthcare reform aimed at establishing a medical care system that is affordable and exceptional in service. The restructuring, however, has been hampered by high medical costs and lack of good community hospitals and health insurance coverage. Past reforms ...
