About 1,300 housing units in Sentul and Bukit Kiara will be demolished and replaced with new housing projects, said Federal Territories Minister Annuar Musa.
He said houses under the new housing project, to be implemented under the Kuala Lumpur modernisation programme, would be given to selected owners of the demolished housing units for free.
“About 1,000 flat units that were built about 30 years ago in the Sentul area, with a floor area of about 480 square feet, will be demolished and the owners will be given new housing units, which will be bigger, for free,” he said, adding that in Bukit Kiara, it involves occupants of the longhouses there, totalling about 300 units.
He said the houses to be built under the programme would cost about RM200,000 per unit.
Annuar, who is Ketereh MP, told reporters this after distributing Aidilfitri contributions to residents in Kok Lanas today.
Elaborating on the proposed housing project, Annuar said it would be built using private funds with the government only providing the site.
In another development, he said the ministry planned to build 5,000 units of houses under the “Residensi Prihatin” programme for those working in Kuala Lumpur and with a household income of below RM4,000.
Application for the houses, to cost RM250,000 per unit, will be opened to those aged 35 and below, he added.
