"KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Najib Razak yesterday launched the Perumahan Penjawat Awam 1Malaysia (PPA1M) scheme that aims to build 100,000 affordable houses nationwide.
The government has initiated many housing schemes to meet the needs of its people, including one specifically for civil servants, said Najib at the launch in Bukit Jalil here.
To meet the growing need for housing in the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan, the Government is targeting to build 80,000 houses by 2020.
The government is also looking specifically into affordable houses for civil servant.
“We are aware that civil servants aspire to own houses but like others, not all can afford it as the prices in the open market are not within their reach,” Najib was quoted in a report carried by The Star Online.
Najib said that with their housing needs settled, civil servants could continue to give their best to serve the people.
The PPA1M houses cannot be sold for 10 years."
