Deputy Economic Affairs Minister Mohd Radzi Jidin said about 8,300 of the 20,000 homes promised had been completed as of end-2018.
This is part of Putrajaya’s RM1.5 billion allocation to revive abandoned housing schemes and start new ones.
The Second-Generation Felda Housing Scheme or PPG2 was started by the Barisan Nasional government. However, Radzi said it had run into several problems, including improper planning and a lack of funds.
Speaking in the Dewan Rakyat, he told Hasan Bahrom (BN-Tampin) that the government is focusing on abandoned projects that are 70% complete.
He said about 63% or 1,900 out of 3,096 abandoned houses have been completed to date and issued certificates of completion.
These have been occupied by about one million residents from 112,000 families.
