PUTRAJAYA, Dec 20 (Bernama) -- The Chief Secretary to the Government, Tan Sri Dr Ali Hamsa, on Friday launched the drawing of lots for the second series of 1Malaysia Public Housing involving 1,062 units of the Seruling Apartments in Precinct 5 here.
The apartments are to be developed by Putrajaya Holdings Sdn Bhd and are expected to be ready in December 2015.
The drawing of lots, carried out twice, involved 2,325 units of houses and that the third draw would be held in April next year, he told a news conference after the second draw at the Maritime Centre, here. Also present was Putrajaya Corporation president Tan Sri Dr Aseh Che Mat.
Ali also launched the ground-breaking for the 1Malaysia Public Housing in Larai, Precinct 6, involving the construction of 1,680 units of houses.
He said Putrajaya Corporation would develop 10,639 units of houses under the 1Malaysia Public Housing programme, with the affordable houses of 1,000 to 1,500 sq ft to be built between 2013 and 2018 and going for between RM150,000 and RM300,000.
"So far, 10,500 civil servants have applied for the houses under the programme and I believe the number of houses to be built will be sufficient for the civil servants working in Putrajaya," he said.
The 1Malaysia Public Housing programme would also be implemented in Kuala Lumpur, Johor Baharu, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Penang and several other places, he said, adding that the government was identifying suitable areas.
He also said that the government was considering building houses costing RM90,000 for civil servants following a recent proposal made by Cuepacs to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
Ali said the names of the successful applicants following the second drawing of lots for the 1Malaysia Public Housing would be uploaded onto the Putrajaya Corporation website at www.ppj.gov.my or www.putrajaya.gov.my on Dec 30.
Applicants could also contact the corporation's Town Planning Division at 03-88877165 or 03-88878312.
