SEPANG (May 1): Over 450 Chinese new villages will see their management be placed under the charge of Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin.
“Previously, the management of the Chinese new villages was under a Chinese minister,” said the Housing and Local Government Minister, reports The Star.
“For the first time, a Malay minister will be taking charge of it to show that Pakatan Harapan is open and not racist, unlike the previous government. It is nothing new to me and we hope it will be more structured under my ministry."
Under the previous administration, Chinese new villages had been placed under the purview of the Prime Minister’s Department.
The Star reports that Zuraida also said KPKT was looking at introducing rent-to-own schemes for affordable houses under projects such as PR1MA.
“For all those houses priced below RM300,000, I am waiting for the report from the Home Ownership Campaign.
“Once I get that, under PR1MA and SPNB (Syarikat Perumahan Negara Bhd) for instance, I am going to package it for them to see if they can be financed through their own rent-to-own scheme,” she was quoted saying.
