PETALING JAYA:

 After more than a decade of waiting, buyers of the abandoned housing project in Taman Permata Layang, Simpang Renggam, Johor, have finally received their certificate for home ownership.

Johor menteri besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi said this project was close to his heart as it was within his own constituency of Simpang Renggam.

“I have been championing it since I first became an elected representative.

“Resolving the issue was no easy task – it required on-the-ground efforts, careful planning and close collaboration between various agencies,” he shared in a Facebook post today, Bernama reported.

Onn Hafiz today handed over the home ownership certificates to the buyers of the 47 units of affordable homes, each priced from RM42,000.

He hoped this achievement could serve as a stepping stone towards resolving other abandoned housing projects in Johor. - FMT
