Bah.. here are my answers, NOT the official ones. I have many grouses about the spelling errors esp COMA vs COMMA and the other two.. plus the poor choices of texts and contents including too many love stories/unbelievable babyhood recount/old English aka ol Mr Dickie and his morally questionable storyline/financial times level article... ah well.. who am I but a lowly English teacher to know better, right.

    Excerpt:

    The patron and past president of Real Estate & Housing Developers' Association (REHDA) Malaysia, Datuk Ng Seing Liong, told New Straits Times Property that the key issue in our local property market which is not trivial but yet to be addressed is the mismatch of the type of property that people need. "The direction that most developers take differs from the preference of most Malaysian first home buyers," he said. Datuk Ng Seing Liong further added, although there are some other issues related to our local property market such as the accessibility to healthcare and education systems of the properties built, and the affordability and financing avallability of the properties built (Malaysia is one of the countries with high household debts, at around 85%), he believes that the government initiatives to achieve high-income nation status between 2024 and 2028 could deter the latter issues.

    Question: In paragraph 7, which of the following should deserve further consideration by the government?

    Suggested answer:
    The shortage of the right type of houses

    Answer I would like to defend:
    The affordability and financing availability of the properties.

    My reason:
    It's based on the following lines which are "although there are some other issues related to our local property market such as the accessibility to healthcare and education systems of the properties built (! former issue !), and the affordability and financing avallability of the properties built (! latter issue !) - he believes that the government initiatives to achieve high-income nation status between 2024 and 2028 could deter the latter issues."
