Abstract

Abandoned housing projects in Malaysia have become a chronic problem in the property development landscape since the 1970s, posing an uncontrollable issue in the housing industry that undermines public trust and leaves thousands of purchasers without remedies. Despite numerous legal, planning, and regulatory frameworks, these projects persists, highlighting systemic failures and legal inadequacies. The principal problem lies in the fragmented, weak and inconsistent enforcement of land, housing, planning, building,insolvency, and Islamic financial laws, which, instead of protecting purchasers, often leave them at thr mercy of insolvent developers, irresponsible developers, indifferent financial institutions, and poorly supervised professionals.
