TUARAN: A total of 1,500 Rumah Mesra Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) homes, costing about RM70,000 each, will be given free to needy Sabahans, says chief minister Hajiji Noor.
He said the state government would use the special grant of RM125.6 million from the federal government to build the housing project, previously known as the Housing Project for the Hardcore Poor (PPRT).
The houses would be built in all the 73 state constituencies, with the district officers, municipal council presidents and city council mayors identifying the eligible recipients.
“This allocation (special grant for Sabah) has to be given back to the people, especially those who can’t afford proper homes.
“So we decided to build the Rumah Mesra Sabah Maju Jaya,” he told reporters after presenting Ramadan and Aidilfitri aid to 180 recipients, comprising the needy, in Kampung Serusop here today.
He also handed over dates to 28 mosques and 25 suraus in the state. - FMT
