Govt plans to introduce build-then-sell system to curb ‘sick’ projects

The Local Government Development Ministry plans to implement a build-then-sell (BTS) housing delivery system rather than a sell-then-build (STB) delivery system next year to reduce the number of “sick”’ or delayed housing projects.

Minister Nga Kor Ming said his ministry will work together with the Real Estate Housing Development Association (Rehda) to overcome the issue.
