Verdict:FALSEThe claim that the government is offering free housing to the public, including foreigners, is false, according to fact-checking website MyCheck.my. It was categorised under "Fashion Accessories" despite all its content being about government housing, which MyCheck.my described as highly unusual for any legitimate public housing initiative. A reverse image search confirmed that both images had been edited to include captions promoting the free housing scheme. "The National Housing Department and the ministry have never provided or promoted a free housing initiative as advertised on that Facebook account," the spokesperson said. For those seeking accurate information about public housing projects or programmes, the ministry provides the TEDUH portal, which covers public and private housing projects nationwide and is searchable by project name, scheme, state and price.
