我们都听过发生在人民房屋计划(简称PPR)的不幸事件,例如性骚扰、自杀、孩童被独自留在不安全的环境中、吸毒问题、集体斗殴等,导致PPR就像是一个危险的居住环境。 房屋和地方政府部(KPKT)副总秘书拿督Mary Wong在马来西亚城市化论坛中表示:“只要我们拥有一个互相关怀和尊重的社区,大部分这些问题都是可以避免的。” 根据国家房屋局(JPN)的数据,国内PPR数量在截至2017年时企于184项,当中41项还在兴建当中,而这些项目为B40收入阶层提供了总共109,152个房屋单位。 然而,提供住所并不保证人们可以获得良好的生活素质。 Wong表示:“房屋只是硬件,软件也同等重要,因为它是打造让孩童健康安全成长环境的因素。目前,最大的挑战是改变PPR居民的想法和态度。” Wong和KPKT官员就此探访了国内一些PPR,并发现居民大多生活在不健康和不安全的环境,而这也影响了下一代的成长。 她补充,一个不安全的居住环境,可能会导致父母不让孩子在公共空间玩乐。而PPR居民大多无法负担孩子额外的活动费用,所以大部分孩子只能在父母出外工作时,独自留在深锁的家中,但殊不知意外往往就这么发生。 譬如在去年9月,一名三岁的女童因为被独自留在Kota Damansara的PPR住家内,而不幸从17楼坠下身亡。 Wong说,类似的事件不断发生,因为大部分的父母必须为了生计而外出工作,并迫不得已将孩子独自留在家中。 另一个在PPR常见的问题,就是青少年染上毒瘾,从而衍生其他社会问题,如毁坏公物、偷窃、打斗,甚至杀人。 改善和营造社区 Wong指出,这些PPR的社区问题需要很多解决方案来改善,而PPR的生活环境也可以通过不同途径来获得改善。 因此,KPKT最近推出了国家社区政策(简称DKN)。其中的目的之一,就是提高PPR居民对他们家的归属感,也让他们了解照顾公共空间的责任。 她说,如果这只是单靠政府的努力,那么教育社区和提升生活环境的目标很可能不会成功。 “政府想要促成社区与政府、私人界、非营利组织之间的策略合作。私人企业能够贡献的有很多。例如Kotak Cantik计划,该计划是把牙膏、牙刷和梳子等个人卫生包裹分配给学校的孩童,并教导他们刷牙和保持整洁的重要。” 她补充,一些公司也计划将公共空间打造成具备功能的空间,让居民可以正确地利用这些空间来阅读、举办活动及作为聚会场所。 Wong也点出,私人企业可以赞助创业课程,协助居民通过学习烹饪和电子行销等技能,来提高收入与改善生活品质。 按此进一步了解DKN的内容,还有你可以对此提供的帮助 该文章已刊登于2019年3月8日的EdgeProp.
