JOHOR BARU: The Federal Government should provide a special allocation to maintain and upgrade old public flats that are in dire condition, says a Johor state executive councillor.

Housing and local government committee chairman Datuk Mohd Jafni Md Shukor said about 70% of the management committees handling public flats in the state were facing difficulty in coping with the cost of carrying out maintenance work.
