What more can Najib do? Govt cannot afford the subsidies even after subsidy cut for petrol and a GST tax? That is because of tax cut for Corporations. Rich and corporation wants tax cuts don't want to pay their taxes for public services. Another stupid thing to do is Private sector building houses. Of course they are going to build the most expensive or as expensive they can to maximize profits. Depending on Private sector to build an affordable homes is stupid and a non starter.

Singapore owns all the land and build it on their own. Govt just need to buy a private developer then use its market power to lower cost and build affordable homes. There is huge demand but only Gucci and LV brands available. This is a supply side issue with all private companies Only want to build luxury homes.

Look at penang affordable homes projects prices ranging from 70,000 to 300,000. You tell me if Penang and even Singapore can do it why Malaysia cannot? If BN do this winning election is like walk in the park.

" If BN do this winning election is like walk in the park."

The fact remains that BN wants the cheap method such as holding stage shows by Psy n expects all ppl to vote for them. Even BN parties highlighting floods in Penang has backfired. In some BN ruled states such as Perak, housing estates in Ipoh kept experiencing flash floods year after year.But the local authorities pretend that they do not know. Complaint after complaint were sent to the relevant authorities but nothing was done. So much so that ppl are fed up of complaining. Do u think they will vote BN? Yr guess is as good as mine.
