GEORGE TOWN: There should be a national cap on what constitutes affordable housing prices such as low and low-medium-cost homes, said state Housing Committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo.
He said the maximum prices of such homes should be standardised nationwide and states should not be allowed to set different ceiling prices.
“Many other states are also against raising the prices but a few states have already implemented higher ceiling prices for low and low-medium-cost. “The first thing I want to ask is what measures do they want to allow to be localised? If they want to allow the ceiling prices to be different, then I disagree,” he said.
