KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government will blacklist contractors who are late in completing Rumah Mesra Sabah Maju Jaya projects, says deputy chief minister Joachim Gunsalam.

The state housing and local government minister said this was necessary as the state government did not want to see any delays to the project.

“We will monitor the cause of any delays. If it is due to the weather or distance of such projects, we will give them a special allowance,” he said in a statement.

Joachim said as long as the state government is led by Gabungan Rakyat Sabah, it will continue to provide affordable housing for those who are eligible in Sabah.

He said every state constituency has been allocated 20 Rumah Mesra houses, valued at RM70,000 each, which will be given for free to the poor. - FMT
