SUNGAI PETANI: The two policy changes announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak under the 1Malaysia People’s Housing (PR1MA) programme, are among the measures taken by the Government to enable more people to own a house.

He said the changes involve raising the household income eligibility from RM10,000 to RM15,000, and shortening the moratorium on house sale and rental from 10 years to five years.
