KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has instructed the Federal Territories Department and Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to incorporate Madani housing blocks in every new residential project.
This requirement is crucial for the approval of new housing developments, ensuring opportunities for low-income groups to become homeowners, he said here on Tuesday (Aug 6).
“The requirement is that one or two Madani housing blocks be included in new projects to benefit the public.
“Madani housing is intended to meet the needs of not only civil servants but also the more vulnerable B40 and M40 groups.
“The wealthy can build as many houses as they want, I don’t care… but the rest of the people need to be helped,” he said during the launch of the Malaysia Madani Civil Servants’ Housing Programme (PPAM) in Bandar Sri Permaisuri.
“That’s why government machinery must be mobilised to resolve the complicated housing issue.
“I see a list of 60,000 people queuing to get public housing,” he added. – Bernama
