KUANTAN – Stern action, including stopping the granting of new land, has been taken against housing developers who fail to develop the land given, said Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail.
He said the action was taken as there were housing developers who had asked for land to be developed with housing projects, but then submitted applications for new sites before developing these.
“These people need to develop the land given earlier to them. Not doing so is a loss to the people and state government, especially when there are parties interested in developing the land.
“In fact, if the appointed developer fails to build or complete the houses within the stipulated period, we will take it back and offer it to other developers able to carry out the task.”
Wan Rosdy said this to reporters after the Pahang 1Malaysia People’s Housing Scheme (PR1MA) key handover ceremony at Perumahan Makmur Gambang Jaya 2, Gambang here today.
“This is one of the state government’s priorities to ensure that the people of Pahang can buy homes at an affordable price, as owning a home is everyone’s dream,” said Wan Rosdy. – Bernama, March 20, 2021
