SPNB has built 23,000 houses under RMM, RMR projects - Donald Lim




KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 22 (Bernama) -- Syarikat Perumahan Negara Berhad (SPNB) has built 14,467 units under its Affordable Home project (RMM) and 8,648 units under the People Friendly Homes (RMR) project.

Deputy Finance Minister Senator Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai said the RMM project involved a cost of RM1,268.5 million while the RMR project involved a cost of RM604 million.

Replying to a question by Datuk Mohd Jidin Shafee (BN-Setiu) at Dewan Rakyat today, he said the houses were built between 2008 and 2011.

To a supplementary question by Mohd Jidin on abandoned housing projects, he said the financial constraint of the contractors and design problems were among contributing factors.

Lim said SPNB had been requested to appoint quality contractors to avoid facing such problems.

Replying to another supplementary question by M. Kulasegaran (DAP-Ipoh Barat) he said the projects went through an open tender process.
