KUALA LUMPUR -- The Housing and Local Government Ministry (KPKT) does not impose certain conditions including the determination of race when implementing affordable government housing projects, says its Deputy Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Ismail Abd Muttalib.

He said the focus is on the people who are eligible to own affordable housing including the B40 group.

"Actually, when we implement government housing projects, affordable homes, we do not put specific conditions to owning a house.

"Our focus is on citizens who are under the B40 group and those who are eligible we will make them an offer as well as other housing projects,” he said during a question and answer session at Dewan Negara here today.

He said this in a reply to Senator Datuk Dr. Dominic Lau Hoe Chai regarding the rules and methods of implementation used by the Ministry to promote unity and the involvement of every race in all affordable homes project Ismail said housing projects under Prima1 Corporation Malaysia (PRIMA) and the Syarikat Perumahan Negara Berhad (SPNB) do not put any specific conditions to owning an affordable home, especially for the B40 group to ensure that the need for housing is solved. - BERNAMA
