The high turnover of subsale transactions proved that moving house is not a hassle.

Subsale from what I see has been pretty stagnant. Ironically, the high turnover rate of subsale, is actually lelong units.

For home loan, idea DSR <=20%. One should trade up with rising income rather than financially jailed. Besides, one may need to relocate for a better job.

Almost impossible to achieve DSR <=20%, with the house prices keep UUU. If like this, many people can't afford to buy house. That's why bank's DSR is 60%, imagine they put 20%, they can close shop because not many eligible for the loan in the beginning

DSR<=20% is possible, just have to accept smaller, older and less facility place. bank offer high dsr doesn't mean one should take.

for reasons, why many are financially stressed.

DSR < 20% is unrealistic. I think 40% may be a more realistic figure.

I would agree with this. Let's say <50% is good enough.

50% on house? Individual income or household? I think is a bit high.
*
I would say 50% on loans, be it mortgages or car loans / CC loans

Meaning to say total loans < 50%

If dsr is about <50%,; after deducting epf, commuting, education, etc expenses, how much is left?

without bank loan, if one couldn't save similar amount regularly will likely stressed.

On paper it looks good, but realistically, in our current world, our finance system and economy is been driven based on capitalism. Putting low DSR discourage spending which in returns slows down the money flowing in the system and slow down the growth of the economy.

Yes, is good for individual, but bad for banks, the government, the corporations. There's reason why BN or government didn't impose such thing.

High dsr was introduced by bijen to spur spending. Many took it line, hook and sinker.

And during his times, our economy improved a lot isn't it? The numbers on the paper looks good during his times. We even achieved a 1 USD = 2.8 MYR

The thing here is, we are all under this system, and it is very hard to find a right balance so that every single entities within this system benefited. Most of the time, some entities will have greater benefits compared to the rest. This is how the world works anyway

RM 2.8 to USD was a few decades ago, certainly not under bijen rule.

It's just a decade ago and is during Najib's era.
