New measures to address stigma of low-cost homes

People’s Housing Programme (PPR) is a low-cost housing project introduced by the government to provide affordable housing for the B40 group.

IT HAS been nearly five decades since the government introduced the People’s Housing Programme (PPR) to provide affordable homes for low-income earners but until today, the well-being of the community remains a major concern.

Low-cost housing schemes built under PPRs are often plagued by a plethora of problems, earning them the notorious label of “black spots” or haunts where anti-social activities thrive, making these places unliveable at times.
