The Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) has allocated RM216.44 million to Johor for housing development, public amenities, and community welfare.
According to its minister, Nga Kor Ming, the funds were allocated through the ministry’s development programme as part of the first rolling plan of the 13th Malaysian Plan.
He stated that the funding will support a variety of strategic initiatives, including affordable housing projects, stratified home maintenance, public amenities, community safety, solid waste management, and urban and rural development.
“This RM216.44 million allocation demonstrates the Madani government’s ongoing commitment to ensuring that Johor residents have access to quality housing, comfortable public amenities, and a more sustainable, prosperous living environment.”
“For example, this flat (Flat Taman Ungku Tun Aminah) is 41 years old and the largest in Johor, with more than 80 blocks.” Today, through our community outreach programme, we are starting renovation work on the first ten blocks,” he said at KPKT’s Sentuhan Kasih Programme 4.0 media conference on Thursday at Flat Taman Ungku Tun Aminah in Skudai.
Nga stated that the majority of the funds would be used to advance the public housing agenda through a variety of initiatives, including Rumah Malaysia, the People’s Housing Project (PPR), the People’s Residency Programme (PRR), and the Madani Inclusive Housing Development.
The funds will also be used to improve public infrastructure, such as markets, Madani stalls, drainage systems, public restrooms, recreational parks, fire stations, and residential areas.
To support the sustainable development agenda, he stated that funds were also directed towards solid waste management projects, the safe closure of landfills, and the implementation of public landscaping projects.
“The ministry is also continuing the Urban Housing Refurbishment Programme, the Non-Muslim Houses of Worship Maintenance Initiative, and the New Village Development Projects, which aim to improve the welfare of those in need while also strengthening community unity,” he said.
Nga stated that the ministry would continue to strengthen its strategic partnership with the Johor state government and local governments to ensure that all projects are carried out efficiently, transparently, and with high impact.
