A decline in self-build housing after the 1960s was probably associated with
changes in government land policy for housing, away from land subdivision, which
was a popular practice prior to 1947. This was replaced with formal land planning
systems in urban areas such as master plans, local plans, and "development orders".
These (planning systems) were seen as better alternatives in regulating supply of urban
land for housing. Another land policy instrument has been the Land Acquisition Act
(LAA)(1976), which empowered state governments to acquire land for development,
including housing. The LAA, it has been argued, enabled a sustained supply of land.
On the other hand, it can also be argued that it limited the options of land owners in
developing their lands, while State governments used the LAA as a "tool" to keep state
land from being released for low-income housing. (For sources, see Hai and
Sendut, 1979; Town and Country Planning, [undated]; Economic Planning Unit, 1986;
Consumers' Association of Penang, 1994). Recently this legislation was changed,
giving it a stronger private sector orientation.
