salah
Subprime loans and mortgages memang dah lama wujud dah di M'sia, tak di beri oleh bank2 tapi di beri oleh agensi dan syarikat kewangan under nama koperasi, ahlong, dan yang terhebat sekali adalah kerajaan M'sia sendiri involve dalam pemberian subprime mortgages nih dengan jumlah berbillion hinggit.
Yang kerajaan dah guna duit EPF 1.5 billion untuk bagi pinjam pada golongan yang memang 100% tak layak seperti warga emas yang telah bersara dan orang yang tiada pendapatan stabil untuk tempoh loan 15 -25 tahun tu merupakan subprime la tu.
Camne golongan tu nak bayar hingga tempoh berpuluh tahun gitu dengan keadaan diri dah semakin uzur pabila makin tua, di tambah dengan tarak kemasukan tetap plak tu .
So, apabila kerajaan sendiri involve dalam pemberian subprime mortgages dalam jumlah berbillion2 hinggit gitu , bermakna peranan bank2 di amerika semasa crisis mortgages tu sekarang ni di mainkan oleh kerajaan M'sia sendiri laa.
Amerika boleh merudum ekonomi kerananya, kenapa tidak M'sia ? If you follow the same path how can you expect a different result. Merudum jugak nanti walau tak berlaku lagi lani. Bila ia akan berlaku, itu Tuhan lah yang akan tentukan .
Btw, kat bawah sekali ni ada artikel aku dah tepek bertajuk "Mortgage crisis overview" yang berbicara dengan detail mengenai apa yang sebabkan krisis mortgage di amerika boleh berlaku.
Dah terang lagi bersuluh penyebab utamanya adalah harga hartanah melonjak-lonjak laaa, yang menyebabkan semua pihak jadi confident harga hartanah takkan sesekali turun.
Lalu berbagai agensi dan syarikat besar mula yakin untuk beri subprime loan dalam jumlah yang banyak, dengan anggapan kalau peminjam tak leh bayar pun hartanah tu akan jadi sebaik-baik cagaran yang sentiasa naik harganya mencanak2 , untuk dapat di lelong kelak kepada orang lain plak maka boleh buat untung nonstop .
Sebijik macam apa yang berlaku kat M'sia sekarang ni, cuma peranan terbesar di mainkan oleh kerajaan M'sia yang kat amerika dulu tu JP Morgan dan Chase etc etc .

EPF to provide RM1.5 bil

[email protected] PETALING JAYA (Jan 30, 2012): Some RM1.5 billion will be channeled from the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) to finance the special funding scheme for the sale of houses in public housing programmes in Kuala Lumpur. Federal Territories and Urban Well-being Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin said the funds will be given to the Federal Territories Foundation to help some 20,000 eligible tenants and interested buyers living in the National Economic Action Council's People Housing Programme (PPR) and KL City Hall public housing units. "The scheme, announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak, will help those who are eligible to buy public housing units but are unable to obtain loans from banks, due to them being retired or not having steady income," he told theSun yesterday. A typical unit in a public housing programme in Kuala Lumpur costs below RM35,000. Raja Nong Chik said the foundation will disburse the RM1.5 billion in stages through Syarikat Perumahan Wilayah Persekutuan, which is incorporated under it. The company is expected to start operations by Mar 1, and the first stage of loans to be disbursed will amount to around RM400 million to RM500 million. "These loans will be repaid over a period of 15 to 25 years, depending on the agreement," he said, adding that there will also be interest charged on the loan. "Of course there will be an interest charged, but it will be much lower than current housing loan interest rates charged by banks." Bank home loans interest rates are at 1.5 to 2% off the base lending rate (BLR) which is currently at 6.6%. Allaying fears that EPF could be at a losing end if the buyers default on their loans, Raja Nong Chik assured the loan is secure as it is guaranteed against the housing unit itself. "If the buyer does not repay the loan, then action will be taken. The house will be forfeited and sold to some 30,000 other housebuyers who are eagerly waiting for a chance," he said. Najib, in announcing the scheme on Saturday, said it was proposed by the ministry and received cabinet approval on Jan 18. "Through the special scheme, problems in obtaining loans can be overcome and this, in turn, will help the low- and medium-income families to own a house. "I'm confident that the scheme will be able to assist prospective buyers and resolve numerous problems in obtaining loans all this while," the prime minister said when launching the 2012 Federal territories' Day at Dataran Merdeka. According to a news report last September quoting Federal Territories and Urban Well-being deputy minister Datuk M. Saravanan, as of last September, the number of vacant PPR units in the nation's capital numbered fewer than 2,000, with over 20,000 applicants on the waiting list. In an immediate response, Federation of Malaysian Consumer Associations (Fomca) CEO Datuk Paul Selvaraj said, the scheme is commendable, but caution must be exercised by the foundation. "We support any move which will help put a roof over the people's heads, but there must be thorough consideration of an individual's ability to service the loan, as well as stringent eligibility checks to ensure the scheme is not abused," he told theSun. "The whole process of choosing who is eligible and who is not must be open and transparent," he stressed. He also said the EPF has a responsibility to its members to protect their interests, and so there can be no excuse to being lax about conditions set on eligibility. Meanwhile, the Malaysian Employers Federation also applauded the move. "The EPF is assisting the rakyat to own houses, it is commendable that EPF is doing a public service," MEF executive director Shamsuddin Bardan said when contacted. He said he is assured that any loan defaulters will be hauled up for action. "The loan may be guaranteed against the housing units, so the house will be forfeited if the buyer does not service the loan," he said. Under Section 26 of the EPF Act 199, loans can be given to the federal and state governments, as well as to companies incorporated under the Companies Act 1965, pending approval from its Investment Panel and the Finance Ministry.

Mortgage Crisis Overview
What Caused the Mortgage Crisis?
By Justin PritchardBanking/Loans Expert

Muntz/ Stone/ Getty ImagesIn 2007, the US economy entered a mortgage crisis that caused panic and financial turmoil around the world. The mortgage crisis was a result of too much borrowing and flawed financial modeling, largely based on the assumption that home prices only go up. Greed and fraud also played important parts. Let’s review how the mortgage crisis unfolded.
The American DreamOwning a home is part of the 'American Dream'. It allows people to take pride in a property and engage in a community for the long term. However, homes are expensive and most people need to borrow money to get one. The conditions were right for people to achieve that dream. In the early 2000s, mortgage interest rates were low, which allow you to borrow more money with a lower monthly payment. In addition, home prices increased dramatically, so buying a home seemed like a sure bet. Lenders understood that homes make good collateral, so they were willing to participate. The mortgage crisis was triggered as this situation built momentum.
Cash OutWith home prices skyrocketing, homeowners found enormous wealth in their homes. They had plenty of equity, so why let it sit in the house? Homeowners refinanced and took second mortgages to get cash out of their homes' equity. Some of this money was spent wisely, and some simply maintained a standard of living while wages stayed stagnant.
Easy Money Before the Mortgage CrisisBanks offered easy access to money before the mortgage crisis emerged. Borrowers got into high risk mortgages such as option-ARMs, and they qualified for mortgages with little or no documentation. Even people with bad credit could qualify as subprime borrowers. Fraud on the part of homebuyers and mortgage brokers helped make the mortgage crisis more serious. Mortgage applications were not checked for accuracy as well as they should have been. As long as the party never ended, everything was fine.
Sloshing LiquidityWhere did all that lending money come from? There was a glut of liquidity sloshing around the world - which quickly dried up at the height of the mortgage crisis. People, businesses, and governments had money to invest, and they developed an appetite for mortgage linked investments as a way to earn more in a low interest rate environment. Banks used to keep mortgages on their books. If you borrowed money from Bank A, you’d make repayments to Bank A, and they’d lose money if you defaulted. However, banks now sell your loan, and it may be further divided and sold to numerous investors. These investments are extremely complex, so many investors just rely on rating agencies to tell them how safe the investments are (without really understanding them). Because the banks and mortgage brokers did not have any skin in the game (they could just sell the loans before they went bad), loan quality deteriorated.
Early Stages of CrisisUnfortunately, the chickens came home to roost and the mortgage crisis began. Home prices stopped going up at a breakneck speed. Borrowers who bought more home than they could afford stopped paying the mortgage. Monthly payments increased on adjustable rate mortgages as interest rates rose. As homeowners discovered that they could not afford their homes, they were left with few choices. They could wait for the bank to foreclose, they could renegotiate their loan in a workout program, or they could just walk away from the home. Of course, many also tried to increase income and decrease spending but they were already on thin ice. Traditionally, banks could recover the amount they loaned at foreclosure. However, home values fell to such an extent that banks increasingly took hefty losses on defaulted loans.
The Plot ThickensOnce people started defaulting on loans in record numbers (and once the word got around that things were bad), the mortgage crisis really heated up. Banks and investors began losing money. Financial institutions decided to reduce their exposure to risk very quickly, and banks hesitated to lend to each other because they didn’t know if they’d ever get paid back. Of course, banks and businesses need money to flow in order to operate.
With bank weakness came bank failures. The FDIC ramped up staff in preparation for hundreds of bank failures caused by the mortgage crisis, and some mainstays of the banking world went under.
