KOTA KINABALU: Affordable housing and people’s housing projects (PPR) could ease urban poverty rates in the city and suburban areas near here, says Sabah Deputy Chief Minister III Datuk Shahelmey Yahya.
Shahelmey, who was also state Works Minister, said from the data received on the population in the city and Putatan, it was found that a large number of residents were from the B40 and M40 group.
He said for this type of pricing, most low and middle-income earners could not or found it very hard to afford."That is why we need to find ways to provide affordable housing and the PPR homes for them," he said. "For now, one site has been approved in principle for the PPR project but we also need to get funding from the Federal government to get this plan rolling," added Shahelmey.
