COMMENT | One million affordable homes in 10 years (2026 - 2035), this was promised by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim during the tabling of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) in Parliament.

Can this be achieved? It’s a recycling of the promise by former housing and local government minister Zuraida Kamaruddin (then from PKR) to build one million cheaper homes in 10 years (2019-2028).

That pledge was interrupted by the Sheraton Move.

What about Anwar’s promise? I sincerely hope that it comes true this time. But right off the bat, there are conflicting statistics.
