Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin said Malaysia will be seen as a deserted land if the issue of unsold surplus houses and properties now estimated to reach almost RM100bil is not promptly addressed.<br /><br />She added that the government has been carrying out various measures to overcome the problem, including the Home Ownership Campaign. As a result, 21,000 units of houses valued at RM13.4bil were sold in the first six months of this year.<br /><br />Zuraida said this during question time at Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday.
