Participating Banks stated in SKJP
One thing to observe is that there is little to no effort to promote the SJKP loan as there is no info publish for SKJP loan for all the website above, except a similar offering from BSN, BSN MyHome (Program Perumahan Rakyat). Here we can tell banks are reluctant to push on with this program.
Second, in the preceding RUMAWIP project’s bank panels, RHB, Bank Islam, and Bank Muamalat were the only ones engaged. Furthermore, based on RUMAWIP.COM.MY agent historical experiences, only RHB will be ready to receive applications for RUMAWIP projects at the start of the launch, whereas Bank Islam and Bank Muamalat would normally be a bit late.
For the time being, we should temper our expectations in the SKJP programme and wait to see what occurs when the RUMAWIP programme kick start in 2023!
