Jagdeep: I disagree with ministry's move to scrap people's housing project

GEORGE TOWN: The Housing and Local Government Ministry's move to stop building people's housing project (PPR) in the country has taken the state government by shock.

State Housing, Town, Country Planning and Local Government Committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow had received a letter from Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin, stating that PPR will be rebranded and no longer be built.
