there is nothing much to argue here, because for housing issue, malaysia definitely can afford to own house easier compared to china.

There is no question that average malaysia can purchase a house much easier compared to china.

The main reason is that malaysia, even in KL , we have the lowest housing prices in south east asia.

Our housing prices are lower than thailand, vietnam, but our gdp per capita is 3 times higher than vietnam gdp per capita.

i done researching myself online, for Kuala lumpur , the house price to income ratio per person in kuala lumpur is 25. and the the house price to income ratio per person in china first tier city is 60-70. and 35-45 for 2nd third tier city. both is checked based on per person income.

china city housing prices is definitely higher compared to malaysia. one of the main reason is that malaysian properties prices are the lowest in south east asia, even when compared to thailand , vietnam, where malaysia gdp per capita is 3 times of vietnam.

but anyhow China first tier city, the housing is definitely not affordable compared to kuala lumpur, and is also one of the highest in the world.
