Johor to use Singapore's HDB as benchmark in development of affordable homes

JOHOR BAHRU: The Johor State Housing Development Corporation (PKPJ) will make the implementation of the Housing Development Board (HDB) Singapore development concept as its benchmark in providing comprehensive affordable housing development planning in every district in the state.

Menteri Besar, Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi (pic) said to do this, PKPJ will need to take drastic action by having a detailed and focused housing development planning database with other agencies such as the local authorities, the Finance Ministry, PR1MA Corporation Malaysia, the Town and Country Planning Department (PLANMalaysia) and the banks.
