Labor The Malaysian Government’s vision is to provide Malaysians of all income levels accessibility to adequate, affordable, and quality housing, particularly those from the low-income group (B40). For several decades, the Malaysian Government has played an important role in the provision of low-cost public housing by building houses either for sale or rent. In Kuala Lumpur, the administration of low-cost public housing is managed by Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL).
