Khalid: Target to approve between 8,000 and 10,000 affordable units in FT every year
KUALA LUMPUR (March 4): The Federal Territories Ministry wants to approve between 8,000 and 10,000 affordable homes every year, said its minister Khalid Abdul Samad (pictured) recently, reported The Star.
He explained that such a target is line with Putrajaya's plan to build one million units of affordable homes within the next 10 years.
He added the ministry received more than 30 applications for 29,000 affordable units in KL, Putrajaya and Labuan this year.
“We fell short last year, only approving about 6,000 units, but that is okay because the new government had just taken over.
“Despite the many projects that have been approved, there is still a long waiting list for affordable homes.
“There is great demand for it, so I hope the people will understand why there are still housing projects being approved,” he the English daily reported Khalid saying after handing over keys to Residensi Jalilmas homeowners in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur recently.
