the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) of the Prime Ministers Department has raised the minimum value of foreign acquisition of residential property from RM250,000 to RM500,00, effective 1 January 2010.

Following the announcement made by the Government on 30 June 2009 to liberalise property acquisition by foreigners, the Unit has revised the Foreign Investment Committee guidelines accordingly.

This revision is seen to encourage foreigners to purchase high-end housing properties. The new guidelines for residential property will no longer require approval from the Unit but will be under the purview of the respective State Authorities.

New FIC Guidelines on Property Acquisition

The new Guidelines state that:n All property acquisition except residential units that

requires approval from EPU are: Direct acquisition of property valued RM20 million and

above which will dilute the ownership of property held by Bumiputera interest and/or government agency;

Indirect acquisition of property by other than Bumiputera interest through acquisition of shares, resulting in a change of control of the company owned by Bumiputera interest and/or government agency, having property more than 50 percent of the total assets and the said property is valued more than RM20 million.

New FIC Guidelines on Property Acquisition

continued from page 1,

rehda believes that the new FIC guidelines would hinder foreign investment at such a time when the market needs a boost from the recent economic slowdown and lacklustre market.

After receiving feedback from members, REHDA has appealed for the FIC guidelines to be reviewed and has proposed that a 3-tier pricing threshold approach be adopted according to state and degree of urbanisation of the related property. The Association believes that this would be a more practical and efficient way of promoting foreign investment in Malaysian property without compromising the interest of local buyers.

Category States Threshold

Highly urbanised areas WP Kuala Lumpur RM500,000

Urbanised areas Selangor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Johor, Penang RM250,000

Less urbanised areas Perlis, Kedah, Perak, Pahang, Kelantan, Terengganu RM150,000

as a follow through of the 2010 Budget announcement last year to promote and support the development of green technology as an economic driver, the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA) has launched the Green Technology Financing Scheme, a pool of soft loans totalling RM1.5 billion.

The soft loans will be provided to companies that supply and utilize green technology, giving preference to those in the energy, water and waste management, buildings and transportation sectors. For this purpose, any product, equipment or system which satisfies the lending criteria will be eligible for the loan. Among the criteria are those that minimizes environmental degradation, reduces greenhouse gas emission, conserves the use of energy and natural resources, promotes the use of renewable resources and results in an improved environment for all forms of life.

The Governments role is to cover 2 per cent of the loans interest rate and provide a guarantee of 60 per cent on financing. The remaining 40 per cent will

be covered by all commercial and Islamic banks in Malaysia, as well as the Development Financial Institutions (Bank Pembangunan, SME Bank, Agrobank, Bank Rakyat, EXIM Bank and Bank Simpanan Nasional).

The financing initiative was launched by Malaysian Prime Minister YAB Dato Sri Mohd Najib Razak and Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water YB Dato Sri Peter Chin Fah Kui on 26 January 2010 in Putrajaya.

At the launch, the Prime Minister reiterated his commitment to develop green technology as a significant force of economic growth for the country. The worlds increasing involvement in environmental preservation creates an opportunity for the Malaysian economy that aspires to become a high income country based on a knowledge economy. He also reminded the industry that going green is no longer an option, but a reality. More importantly, the usage of green technology would address the ill-effects of climate change to preserve as much as the environment in order to bequeath a pristine environment for future generations.

The Prime Minister unveiled 5 core approaches to the National Green Technology Policy which are:1. To strengthen institutional

frameworks2. To provide an environment conducive

for the development of green technology

3. To enhance human capital development in green technology

4. To intensify green technology research and innovation

5. To promote public awareness about the need for new approaches to green technology, especially in manufacturing, construction, waste and water management.

Malaysias green technology sector is still in its infancy stage where usage and benefits remain untapped. Hence, the opportunity for growth in this sector is tremendous.

With the Governments intention to move away from the low-cost, low-skill industries of the past, green jobs and green innovation is envisaged to be significant drivers of change towards a stronger economy with better opportunity for the nation.n

6 | special report

The Jabatan Ketua Pengarah Tanah dan Galian (JKPTG), as part of its latest initiatives to expedite the Strata Titles issuance, has proposed that titles be issued upon or before the handing over of vacant possession for all strata housing.

REHDA applauds the intent of the initiative and views it as revolutionary as such measure will help eliminate many longstanding problems faced by the industry with regards to title issuance and management of stratified buildings. However, REHDA is of the opinion that the proposal requires further consideration from the authorities based on the following justifications:

Phased Development on Single Title/Mixed DevelopmentThe proposed mechanism poses huge challenges to mixed/phased developments.

Section 10A (2a) of the Strata Titles Act requires developers to confirm building plans relating to provisional blocks. The requirement by the proposal for application of Strata Titles to be submitted earlier creates a lot of inflexibility for developers, especially for mega, mixed and phased developments as developers will be forced to decide in finality on the contents of their development without room for flexibility or changes.

Accessory ParcelsAccessory parcels cannot be dealt with independently under Section 69 of the Strata Titles Act.

Developers are then forced to decide on the status of unsold car parks, for instance during construction while sales are still in progress. This would be prohibitive for

developers especially in a dampened market condition where they need longer time to market their units fully.

Payment of Stamp Duty for Property TransferThe proposed workflow suggests that payment of stamp duty on transfer is to be made by developers instead of buyers. This should not be the case, as stamp duty payable for transfer does not and should never be made part of purchase price of houses. As such, it is buyers, and not developers, who should deposit money separately for this purpose.

Upfront Payment for SurveyorsIf payments towards strata titles application, strata plan checks by JUPEM, preparation of strata plans by JUPEM and strata registration fees are to be legislated as part of progress payments as per Third Schedule of Schedule H of the Sales and Purchase Agreements, the monies to be used for these purposes are already secured in the housing development account, which cannot be used indiscriminately by developers.

As such, there is no reason for survey fees to be paid in full upfront any more but payments should instead be released progressively according to percentage of work done.

Issue of Delayed Vacant Possession and Developers LAD LiabilityREHDA is very concerned on the possibility of delayed title issuance which would lead to delayed hand over of vacant possession of houses, even if the physical aspects of the

construction are fully completed. Such a situation would place developers in jeopardy as they may end up having to pay up huge amount of damages to buyers for late delivery.

REHDA is of the view that vacant possession should not be tied to strata titles issuance in any way, i.e, should not be made a pre-condition to vacant possession as any delays in title issuance, if any, after due application by developers is beyond developers control and as such should not be penalized for such delays.

Settlement of Land and Building Matters Pre-Requisites to Development Order and Building Plan ApprovalsAlthough the Government has started to apply the e-Tanah system in land administration, there are some reservations on the ability of land offices to cope with this requirement.

As the gestation period for housing development in the country from inception to vacant possession spans between 4 to 5 years, this requirement may further delay approval processes and affect the efficiency of the housing delivery system.

Extensive Amendments to Many Legislation Needed before the Proposal is WorkableThe proposal will require extensive amendments to existing laws, regulations, guidelines and policies related to housing development. In addition, legal ramifications to the industry would have to be further studied.n

REHDA Submits Feedback on the New Proposed Strata Title Issuance
