SEREMBAN – The Negri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly was today told that the state government approved the building of 18,796 affordable housing units (RMM) under the State Housing Policy since May 2018 until October this year.
State Urban Well-being, Housing, Local Government and New Village Action Committee chairman Teo Kok Seong said they comprised 5,794 units of RMM type A houses, RMM type B (6,287 units) and RMM type C (6,715 units).
“The state government has also carried out more than eight voting sessions for RMM type A for private housing projects in Negri Sembilan.
“Under this approach, there will be new housing projects that offer affordable houses based on the community's income," he said during oral question time in the state assembly today.
He said this in response to a question from Suhaimi Kasim (PH-Lenggeng) who wanted to know when construction of affordable houses under the state government would take off.
Teo (PH-Bahau) said the state government has also submitted 11 state-owned land for development under the People's Housing Programme (PPR).
On the development of public housing by federal agencies, such as Syarikat Perumahan Negara Bhd (SPNB), Teo said a total of 3,379 units of People Friendly Houses (RMR) have been built, while 275 units are under construction.
A total of 210 applications have been approved and are now at the coordination stage of the agreement documents, he added.
Meanwhile, Teo said the state government has restored the role of the Negri Sembilan Development Corporation (PKNNS) in housing development in the state.
“The Negri Sembilan Civil Servant Housing Project, priced at RM90,000 and RM250,000, is a pilot project implemented by PKNNS in the S2 Height area in Seremban.
“Apart from that, PKNNS has also been given the mandate to identify and develop affordable housing on state government land.” – Bernama, November 26, 2020
