PUTRAJAYA: The housing and local government ministry is planning to mould Perbadanan PR1MA Malaysia (PR1MA) into a national housing corporation to ensure a centralised and standardised housing industry for easy monitoring and enforcement.
Its minister Zuraida Kamaruddin denied a claim that PR1MA would be dissolved soon, saying the government was planning to place housing projects under the education and defence ministries as well as Felda’s new generation under the corporation.
She said the government hoped to model PR1MA on Singapore’s Housing Development Board (HDB).
Speaking to reporters at her office here today, Zuraida said the ministry had resolved some of PR1MA’s problems, including the overhang and unsold units.
She said that during the Home Ownership Campaign 2019 (HOC) held from March 1 to Dec 31, PR1MA had sold 9,306 units and secured 19,170 bookings.
PR1MA was established under the previous government through the PR1MA Act 2012 to plan, develop, construct and maintain high-quality housing with lifestyle concepts for middle-income households in key urban centres.
These homes are open to all Malaysians with a monthly household income of between RM2,500 and RM15,000.
When the Pakatan Harapan took over the federal government, it placed PR1MA under the housing and local government ministry. - FMT
