KINIBIZ The location of 1Malaysia People’s Housing Programme (PR1MA) development in Penang will be announced in due course, said the corporation, which is currently mulling several options.

Responding to a KiniBiz query on the matter, PR1MA said it has “identified several sites in Penang” and are currently assessing the suitability of those sites, with a more detailed announcement to come down the road after receiving approval from the corporation’s board.

Late last October, Penang Town and Country Planning and Housing Committee chairperson Jagdeep Singh Deo (left) asked the federal government to pinpoint the location of PR1MA’s affordable housing project in the state.

“We would like to know the status of the project so that we can monitor and help expedite the project,” Jagdeep was quoted as saying.

He noted that, despite this being a federal government project, it still needs to obtain the necessary state approvals.
