Sufficient housing for all

WITH a population estimated to have reached more than six million people, sufficient housing for all, especially families from the low-income group, is a major concern in Selangor.

To counter this, the Selangor government has initiated the affordable housing scheme whereby every housing development in the state must also offer inexpensive homes. Aptly named Rumah Selangorku, the scheme is a light at the end of the tunnel for many who had once believed they would never be able to own homes.
