THIS year, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) confiscated 328 out of 946 housing units found to have been misused between January and October.

The crackdown intensified in May when DBKL went on a blitz to make sure that only those truly in need and who qualified, continued to live in public housing units (PPA) and people’s housing scheme (PPR).
