KOTA KINABALU, — The state government will build 3,000 units of Rumah Mesra SMJ next year to assist families and individuals who do not yet own a home, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
“Previously, we have allocated 20 SMJ houses each for all the 73 state constituencies throughout Sabah, but beginning next year, we will double this amount,” he said.
The Chief Minister also reiterated that the State Government had formally requested the Federal Government to allocate 5,000 units of affordable housing under the People’s Housing Programme (PPR) scheme for Sabah.
“This allocation is a critical step toward addressing the housing needs of our communities, particularly for those in the lower income groups.
