KUCHING: Developers are urged to provide quality housing as well as to be courteous at meeting their stated project delivery timeline, as stated in their sales and purchase agreement with the buyers. the sales and purchase agreement. We hope that developers will build quality houses and deliver them on time,” he said.

Meanwhile, on the current demand in housing properties, Sheda Property Expo 2017, organising chairman SR Gary Kho Thong How, who is also senior manager of CMS Property Developmen­t Sdn Bhd, also pointed out that based on research by Institute Rakyat, Sarawak suffers from a combinatio­n of weak household incomes and house prices that are far higher than the average household income could afford.

He noted that developers would be compelled to build according to what the market demands and what buyers could afford rather than what developers prefer.

He therefore urged developers to use the expo strategica­lly to capture the imaginatio­n of investors and home buyers by creating a platform to boost market presence and brand awareness, as well as to share details of up and coming developmen­ts which Sarawakian­s can anticipate.

The launch of this expo yesterday was also in conjunctio­n with forum and lunch with Sheda’s president. The purpose of the forum was to give Sheda’s state council the opportunit­y to brief Sheda members on the developmen­ts in the property industry, especially on issues relating to the housing developmen­t industry.

During the forum, Wong had also discussed Sheda’s e-library, the housing developers’ ordinance, housing developmen­t regulation­s and more.

He added, if the proposal could be approved, Sheda is committed to building more affordable housings for the middle-income group
