NUSAJAYA: Developers undertaking the 1Malaysia Peoples Housing (PR1MA) projects are not exempted from the state’s mandatory requirement for developers to build affordable units under the Johor Affordable Homes programme.

State Housing and Local Government committee chairman Datuk Abdul Latif Bandi said that developers were subjected to both the PR1MA Act 2012 as well as the state housing policies to plan and construct houses at an affordable price.
