So close yet so far: One of the affordable homes projects that the middlemen promised to deliver to buyers in Johor Baru.

JOHOR BARU: Their dream of owning a home is now in ruins. Dozens of people, mostly from the lower-income groups, have been duped in a fraud that targets those who are eager to benefit from the state’s affordable housing scheme.

The Johor government is shocked that so many have been tricked into paying money that were meant to ensure the purchase of Johor Affordable Homes (better known as Rumah Mampu Milik Johor or RMMJ).
