Home Ownership Campaign (HOC): Why Malaysia Housebuyers Should Take Advantage Of It Before It’s Too Late

LBS Alam Perdana HOC

The Malaysian government under the Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, has reintroduced the Home Ownership Campaign (HOC) to give financial relief to individual home buyers, as well as promote the growth and increase home property buying in Malaysia. The HOC Malaysia campaign which ran throughout 2019, is now back again with new incentives.

What Is the Home Ownership Campaign (HOC) Malaysia?

The recent COVID-19 pandemic shook the world in the year 2020, and of course, many Malaysians are badly hit as well. As Malaysia enters the Restricted Movement Control Order (RMCO) phase, many industries are affected, including the property and real estate industry. Being proactive, the Malaysian government reintroduced the HOC campaign with the intention to facilitate more Malaysians who are desiring to own new homes even during pandemic economic crisis times.
