The new Minister of Housing and Local Government Dato Sri Reezal Merican is all ears to help the needs of Penangites to get affordable homes.
It is more important for the minister to assist Penang as he is also the Member of Parliament for Kepala Batas.
Dato Sri Reezal was present with Penang Chief Minister, Chow Kon Yeow along with state exco for Housing, Town and Country Planning, Jagdeep Singh Deo at the handing of offer letters to successful candidates in Bukit Gelugor.
The project is undertake by Ideal Property Group.
“Housing is a human right and must not be politicized. All parties must work together for the sake of our people, whereby to date some 126,816 units of such housing ranging from RM42,000 to RM300,000 are being delivered since 2008.
“As taxpayers paying approximately 7 Billion a year, the Federal Government must also reciprocate with ensuring more affordable housing for Penangites. It is hoped more Affordable Housing projects by the Federal Government, under their programmes, which have been very long delayed, will come forward soonest,” said Jagdeep.
He also thanked ministry for planning to build two People’s Housing Projects (PPRs) in Penang. He hopes that the ministry will reconsider building five PPRs in Penang. Also present Ideal Property Group chief operating officer Datuk Goh Teng Whoo.
