Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association chairman Jeffrey Ng says the government should review the speed of the approval process.

Rehda Institute chairman Jeffrey Ng said this left some developers resorting to bribes to speed up the approval process. He added that the lack of speed in project approval was actually one of the biggest challenges faced by the industry and urged the government to review the speed of the industry’s approval system, suggesting they shift it onto a digital platform to avoid face-to-face interaction.

“We believe if these measures are in place, corruption in the industry will reduce significantly as we are tackling the issue at the source and not merely looking at protecting ourselves against corruption practices by staff, directors, or associates of our organisations.”He added that Rehda Institute was working to ensure the property development and construction industry complied with Section 17A of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2018.
