Over 100 developers blacklisted for violations

The Housing and Local Government Ministry has blacklisted 109 developers for various offences, with Minister Nga Kor Ming urging homebuyers to remain vigilant and check developers’ status before committing to purchases.

Announced during the 14th Annual Affordable Housing Projects Conference on April 7, Nga revealed that the directors of these blacklisted companies are also barred from forming new entities to bypass regulations. The list is now publicly accessible on the ministry’s official website (teduh.kpkt.gov.my), empowering buyers to verify the credibility of developers beforehand.

“These developers have been fined and are prohibited from obtaining new licenses until they settle their compounds and comply with regulations,” Nga said, adding that any ongoing projects under these developers would be their last for now. This step aims to prevent further exploitation of homebuyers.

In 2024, the National Housing Department issued 471 notices resulting in RM9.03 million in fines. In the first two months of 2025 alone, 56 compounds were issued, totalling RM1.25 million. Most violations involved the failure to submit development status reports and financial audits.

“This blacklisting is a stern warning. We will not tolerate non-compliance. The ministry is taking decisive action to protect homebuyers’ hard-earned money,” Nga stressed.

He reminded all developers to strictly follow regulations to ensure timely and quality project delivery. At the same time, he encouraged homebuyers to use the ministry’s website to make informed decisions before making financial commitments.

Nga also highlighted that Malaysian developers have earned international recognition, winning gold at the FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards for affordable housing. He reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to rewarding excellence while cracking down on unscrupulous practices.

“The welfare of homebuyers remains our top priority,” he concluded.
