KUALA LUMPUR: Procurement methods through privatisation, such as build-lease-maintain-transfer (BLMT) or land swap, will be considered so that most of the goals of the Defence Ministry's Housing Blueprint 3.0 (BP3.0) can be achieved.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said this was because the government was aware of the financial burden to be borne in implementing BP3.0, which would focus on providing the remaining 12,733 units of Rumah Keluarga Malaysia Angkatan Tentera (RKMAT) homes nationwide via five phases, from 2023 to 2030.
