Summary

The National House Buyers Association (HBA) has proposed that KPKT upgrade the TEDUH portal to show developer performance profiles — how many projects were completed on time, delayed, given extensions, sick or abandoned. HBA also wants complaint and enforcement records, disclosure of developers' parent companies and an early-warning system before projects turn sick. HBA says a valid developer licence alone does not guarantee a project will be completed.

What it means for Johor home buyers

This is a proposal, not a new policy. For now, before paying a booking fee, check each project phase's status on TEDUH yourself (late, sick, permit cancelled) and ask about the developer's past projects. Buyers of new JB projects should also make sure the key-handover date and LAD are clearly stated in the SPA.

Johor Housing and Local Government Exco Datuk Mohd Jafni Md Shukor said records show only about 20% of Bumiputera lots priced at RM300,000 and above in Johor Bahru have been sold. Reasons include distant locations, high prices and long processes.

What it means for Johor home buyers

For Bumiputera buyers, this means there is still plenty of choice among Bumi-quota units in JB, especially homes from RM300,000. There's no need to rush: compare several projects, check each project's Bumi quota and ask the developer about discounts and other incentives before paying. Units below RM300,000 are classed as Rumah Mampu Milik Johor (RMMJ) and are applied for through the state's official channel.

More jobs in Johor mean stronger long-term housing demand, especially in zone areas such as Iskandar Puteri, Tebrau and Pasir Gudang.
