PETALING JAYA: MCA has questioned the sincerity of the Selangor government in helping the poor and first-time house buyers.
Selangor MCA chief Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai said the state government had not built any low-cost home since Pakatan Rakyat took over the administration three years ago.
In the preceding 10 years that the Barisan Nasional was ruling the state, it had built 16,000 units of low-cost homes in Petaling Jaya alone.
Lim, the former Petaling Jaya Selatan MP, said 6,000 units of the low-cost houses built were in the constituency.
He added that the Federal Government was currently offering homes costing RM220,000 and less per unit for first-time owners under its My First Home scheme.
“However, not a single unit was built in the past three years under Pakatan after it took over the state government,” he said.
Lim said he would discuss with developers to make cheaper houses available to first-time buyers.
“They can consider giving a discount of 15% to young house buyers,” he said.
