Program Perumahan Rakyat (PPR) is one of KPKT’s initiatives in providing affordable housing for the people.
Entrepreneurial activities through PEKB are expected to help generate income and improve the living standards of the community.
The ministry is always committed to implement various initiatives for the welfare of the people, in line with the desire to make wellbeing universal through the development of liveable housing projects, sustainable municipal services and fire protection system, which are all essential in improving people’s quality of life. Moreover, the ministry – through the National Housing Department – plays a crucial role in ensuring that the development of a perfect, high quality and more systematic housing sector can be enjoyed by the people of various income levels. The People Housing Program (PPR), Rumah Mesra Rakyat (RMR) and Housing for Civil Servants (PPAM) are among the projects aimed at boosting Malaysia’s affordable housing agenda and hence, fostering stability and security within the community. Through the ministry, the government has drawn up a plan of ‘One Million Affordable Homes’ within ten years (2018-2028) that is carried out by the federal government agencies, the state governments, and the private sector, especially for the benefit of families who are classified as part of the bottom 40% (B40) and middle 40% (M40) income ranges.
