Malaysia's open registration system (ORS) scheme, which began in 1997, was established as part of prevention mechanism by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government to plug the leakage in the low-cost housing (LCH) allocation process. After two decades, ineligible persons still secure LCH to the detriment of the Malaysian low-income earners (LIEs) house-buyers/rentals. This paper explored the LCH computerised ORS for LIEs and proffered policy solutions to improve the scheme.,The data were collected via unexplored exploratory sequential mixed methods approach that engaged 25 well-informed participants and the ‘quantilised findings’, validated by the Malaysian LCH policymakers.,This paper found that there is weak compliance to computerised ORS, which is pronounced in states with relaxed eligibility clearance. Also, it was found that under-declaration of income evident in states where there is relaxed verification and lack of data sharing between states and with federal governments, among others, are the root cause of weak compliance to computerised ORS.,This paper is limited to unravelling the encumbrances in the low-cost housing computerised open registration system in Malaysia's major cities. Future research is needed to use relevant information to access the level of enforcement of the computerised open registration system across the states of Malaysia.,This paper recommended that LCH computerised ORS should be devoid of party favouritism, state government should establish functional LCH computerised ORS, and the state and federal governments, should embrace cooperative federalism. Also, applicants should be subjected to the Central Credit Reference Information System check, and culprits should be referred to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. This paper provides salutary lessons on how to improve the scheme with a view to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals regarding housing in 2030.,This paper demonstrates that the low-cost housing computerised open registration system in Malaysia is yet to be implemented across the states.

揭露马来西亚主要城市的低成本住房计算机化开放登记系统中的障碍

马来西亚的开放注册系统计划（ORS）始于1997年，是住房和地方政府部为预防机制的一部分而建立的，目的是在廉价住房（LCH）分配过程中防止泄漏。二十年后，不合格的人仍然获得LCH，损害了马来西亚的低收入购房者/租赁者。本文探索了LCH的LIEs的计算机化ORS系统，并提出了改进该方案的政策解决方案。数据通过未探究的探索性顺序混合方法收集了25名知情人士和“量化结果”，并得到了马来西亚LCH政策制定者的验证。，本文发现对计算机化ORS的依从性较弱，这在资格审查放宽的州尤为明显。还，研究发现，在州放松的核查状态以及各州之间以及与联邦政府之间缺乏数据共享的情况下，收入申报不足明显是导致计算机化ORS依从性较弱的根本原因。马来西亚主要城市的低成本住房计算机化开放式注册系统所带来的负担。需要进行进一步的研究，以使用相关信息来访问整个马来西亚各州的计算机公开注册系统的执行水平。本文建议，LCH计算机化ORS应该避免党派偏爱，州政府应建立功能性LCH计算机化ORS，州和联邦政府应该拥护合作联邦制。还，申请人应接受中央信用参考信息系统的检查，罪魁祸首应转给马来西亚反腐败委员会。本文提供了有益的经验教训，说明了如何改进该计划，以实现2030年住房可持续发展目标。本文证明，马来西亚的低成本住房计算机化开放式登记系统尚未在各州实施。
