A comparative study of penalty rate imposed on exemption of affordable housing development through affordable housing policy implementation at state level in Malaysia / Nurul Azreen Syamira Azlan
Get PDFAs provided in the National Affordable Housing Policy, the State Government can implement a penalty or levy on the developers that are given an exemption from developing affordable housing in Malaysia. However, the implementation of these penalties in West Malaysia is not uniform, as states have their own interpretations and policies based on national policies. Through literature reviews, only seven states have implemented this penalty or levy, including Perak, Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, Pahang, Melaka, and Johor. The aim of the research is to objectives of this research are to identify the similarities and dissimilarities of penalty or levy implementation and evaluate the effects of penalty or levy implementation at the state level. The research is qualitative research and the method used for data collection is a structured interview session with the representatives from the housing department of each state and a literature review on related topics. For sampling, the researcher has divided all the states that implement the penalty or levy into three different categories for the purpose of this research which are the fixed percentage, range of percentages, and fixed value. The chosen states for this research are Perak, Kelantan and Terengganu. Content analysis will be used to analyse the data collection in each state
A comparative study of penalty or levy implementation at state level in Peninsular Malaysia / Nurul Azreen Syamira Azlan and Nor Azalina Yusnita Abdul Rahman
Get PDFNational Affordable Housing Policy allows states to impose penalties or levies on developers who get exemptions from developing affordable housing. However, its implementation is not uniform and only seven states have implemented it and categorized as fixed percentage (Perak), range of percentage (Kelantan), and fixed value (Terengganu, Kedah, Pahang, Melaka, and Johor). The research aims to identify similarities and differences between implementation of penalties or levies for the exemption from developing affordable housing at the state level. The research is qualitative research and structured interview session is used to collect data. The chosen states as respondents for each category are Perak, Kelantan and Terengganu. Research findings show that all states implement penalty or levy to support national policies and use fund to redevelop exempted affordable housing units. The exemption application process involves developers applying to each state government, conducting an investigation, and deciding whether to approve or reject the application through "Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri”. For differences, penalty or levy rate is determined based on one-to-one basis, cost of construction, location and project feasibility and affordable housing prices is determined by the state governments. The effects of this implementation vary, such as fluctuating open price housing units, decreasing supply and demand mismatch, and preventing developers from taking advantage of exemption granted. Therefore, future researchers should study the most suitable amount of penalty or levy for private developers to ensure uniformity and increase efficiency in affordable housing development in Malaysia
