KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 — The federal government will not relent on the strict requirements for affordable housing, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today in Parliament.
“A few companies have appealed and some objected, but I don’t think the government will compromise as we don’t have a choice. We want development to continue but we have to ensure that there are opportunists for the poor to own a house be it being bought, rent-to-own or permanent rental,” Anwar told the Parliament during the Prime Minister’s Question Time here.
Meanwhile, Anwar added that no PPRs that are built on Malay reserve land have been allowed for non-Bumiputera applicants.
