KUALA LUMPUR: All related parties should work together to make the
Government-announced initiatives, aimed at cutting bureaucracy and improving
the property sector, a successful one.
“Without any of the players in the team, the housing delivery system will
not be successful. Let us all together make this system work,” said the
Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting.
In his opening speech at the roadshow on improving housing delivery system
yesterday, he said all related parties, including the Government, its
agencies, departments and developers would make a complete team to improve
the housing delivery system.
Ong, who is MCA president, welcomed suggestions to make the system more
efficient.
On April 13, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced the
comprehensive changes for the property development sector, as part of his
move to improve the public delivery system.
Among the initiatives announced were the setting-up of one-stop centres in
every state for fast-track approval for housing projects, replacing the
Certificate of Fitness for Occupancy (CFO) with the Certificate of
Completion and Compliance (CCC) and giving incentives to developers who
adopt the Build-Then-Sell (BTS) concept. |
