Malaysia Developers seek reforms to unsold Bumi units
By Lee Wei Lian
Labourers work at an apartment building under construction in Kuala Lumpur July 23, 2009. - Reuters picKUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 — The Malaysian Developers Council (MDC) has appealed to the federal and various state governments to implement a transparent system to deal with the issue of unsold Bumiputera-quota housing.
The council — comprising the Real Estate and Housing Developers Association (Rehda), Sabah Housing and Real Estate Developers Association (Shareda) and Sarawak Housing and Real Estate Developers Association (Sheda) — said that the current methods of releasing unsold Bumi-quota units to the general market was becoming burdensome and suggested the use of a automatic release mechanism based on a transparent set of criteria.
“This automatic release system can be done on a pre-determined time scale,” said MCD in a statement to the media. “There should be no further contribution/levy/penalty from/on the developers upon release.”
According to Rehda president Datuk Michael Yam, between 30-70 per cent of the units in a development are currently reserved for Bumiputeras depending on the state and they are also given discounts ranging between 5 and 15 per cent.
The quotas and discounts were introduced to expand Bumiputera property ownership under the New Economic Policy (NEP) that was introduced after the May 13 race riots in 1969.
Developers can apply to have unsold Bumi-quota units released to the general public but Yam said that the process was too subjective and cash flow strapping as approvals are often “very slow or not forthcoming.”
He also questioned the need for developers to pay the 5-15 per cent bumi discount to state agencies upon successful release of a Bumi-quota unit as is the purported current practice.
“We need a transparent and open mechanism,” said Yam.
He suggested that authorities look at the auto-release mechanism already in place in Sabah as a possible model.
MDC also criticised the land surveyors profession for apparently demanding full payment upfront saying any compulsory upfront payment demanded by “any monopolistic professional service providers or organisations” should be resisted.
“We appeal to the government to resist and review any legislation of such effect e.g. the Land Surveyors Ordinance where pre-payments are required prior to work done,” stated MDC.
Yam noted that the issue was a pressing one for developers especially if all consultants asked for their respective fees upfront. All these fees combined would amount to as much as 10 per cent of the cost of development.
“Just imagine a lawyer saying pay me first,” he said.
The council also made it known that it was against attempts to restrict the right to manage buildings and properties to any profession or group saying it would result in a “monopoly”.
It claimed that the exclusion of “competent persons or bodies” outside a specific profession would be in conflict with a number of laws including the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and the Competition Act 2010.
Yam said that the council was referring to the issue of valuers apparently lobbying for the exclusive right to manage shopping malls which he said should be open to anyone qualified.
“We want to nip this problem in the bud,” said Yam. “We’re asking for a more open market.”
