DIARY

AUGUST

Housing is a very basic human need. After food and meaningful employment,

housing is the third basic human need. However at the rate that house prices are

raising in Malaysia, it is beginning to be beyond the reach of even the middle

income group. Of late this issue has been highlighted in many newspapers and

other media. The question of housing affordability is however a complex one andthere appears to be no easy solution.

The Government has also initiated its PRIMA1 Housing for the middle income

group, which they have defined as those earning between RM 2500 and RM7500

per month. If one were to evaluate this under present criteria it would translate tomonthly payments of RM830 to RM2500 per month based 0n 1/3 of income. For

a loan period of 12 to 15 years the cost of the houses would have to be in the

range of about RM 60,000 to RM 180,000. In the smaller towns this wouldprobably buy you a single storey low cost to a double storey terrace house,

depending on location and type of finishes. Under the PRIMA scheme they are

supposed to be 20% below market price or RM75,000 to RM250,000. In the

Klang valley you are looking at a low cost flat or a medium cost apartment of about120 square meters, certainly not in the city centre area.

Malaysia has a very young population. The profile of the Malaysia population shows

that 45 per cent are below the age of 25. Based on this PRIMA1 have estimatedthat Malaysia will require one million new homes in the next 10 years. This is a

huge potential work and also challenge for Architects over the next 10 years. As

the key persons designing the physical forms and typology of the future homes, we

have to start to look beyond the basic terrace housing and the square blocks of

high rise apartments as the only solutions. Many of the basic assumptions andby-laws, especially related to low cost housing, may have to be re-examined.

PAM has initiated a series of Housing and Practice forums this year to explore and

discuss among Architects the wide range of possibilities with the aim to draw up

specific recommendations to the Ministry of Housing. PAM has also launched a

student competition for affordable housing in collaboration with Lafarge Malaysiato draw out some innovative ideas from the younger future Architects.

Architects do not have total control over the price of housing but they play asignificant role in determining the form of our future homes and I am confident thatwe will meet the challenge.
