KOTA TINGGI: The Rural and Regional Development Ministry is to build houses throughout the country for the homeless to live in for up to 10 years for free, Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said yesterday.
He said the houses would be built under the Hardcore Poor People's Housing Project on government land but possession would not be given to these temporary owners who would be selected through the e-Kasih system.
"The houses will be built at a cost of RM33,000 each and the occupants can stay for up to 10 years for free," he said after launching the construction of medium-cost houses for rural people in Bandar Mas near here.
Shafie said the occupants could buy their own houses after 10 years when their children have grown up and they have a higher household income.
He also said such houses would be built for more than 100 fishermen families in Tanjung Buai, Johor.
Longhouses had been built under this concept in Sarawak, he added.
Shafie also said about 200 medium-cost houses would be built in Bandar Mas as there has been encouraging response. -- Bernama
