Buying a property in Malaysia can present considerable challenges and obstacles such as loan rejections from financial institutions, but what alternatives are available to help you realize your dream of homeownership?
If you’re a government worker or a civil servant looking to acquire a new property, this article is for you. Lembaga Pembiayaan Perumahaan Sektor Awam (LPPSA), also known as the Public Sector Home Financing Board, offers a housing loan initiative that bridges the gap between property prices and the approved loan amount, lowering the barrier for government workers to own a home.
There are seven types of LPPSA loans catered to different financing needs. Every loan applicant must fill up an application form to initiate the loan application process. Eligibility reviews for LPPSA loans are conducted based on the applicant’s salary statement, without considering any external commitments such as other outstanding bank loans.
What are the Benefits of LPPSA Financing?
Civil servants can enjoy these benefits from LPPSA Financing:
- Up to 100% financing margin (regardless of number of properties or land owned prior),
- Fixed interest rate of 4% per annum,
- Deductions from salaries are not considered as commitments,
- Eligible to apply for housing loans under LPPSA twice (provided first house is already settled),
- Loan term up to 90 years of age.

How Much Can I Borrow Based on My Monthly Salary?
You can determine the eligibility of financing amount by using the Financing Calculator provided on the LPPSA website. Based on the LPPSA financing eligibility schedule, the monthly instalment for loan repayment should not exceed 60% of your net income, and your total debt should not exceed 80% of your net income.
