Malaysia's PM Anwar: 500,000 Affordable Homes by 2030 under the 13th Malaysia Plan
Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said on November 10, at the opening of International Construction Week and BuildXPO Malaysia 2026 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre in Kuala Lumpur, that Malaysia aims to deliver 500,000 affordable homes by 2030 under the 13th Malaysia Plan, as part of a broader ambition to provide one million homes between 2026 and 2035.
Anwar said progress in the construction industry must be felt by the people, especially through the provision of affordable homes, and that development should not be measured only by buildings and projects but by whether ordinary Malaysians benefit. He also said Malaysia must strengthen its ability to develop and produce its own technology instead of depending heavily on imported innovations, commending the Ministry of Works and the Construction Industry Development Board for exploring 3D concrete printing technology.
Under the 13th Malaysia Plan, government and public university projects worth RM100 million or more must achieve at least 70 percent industrialised building system (IBS) content, and advanced modular construction is central to the housing effort. Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Nga Kor Ming launched the National Housing Policy 2026-2035 on August 10.
