'Don't evict long-term tenants, build more low cost housing,' says Sabah consumer group

KOTA KINABALU: The state government should be building more low cost houses for the B40 group instead of evicting tenants, who have lived at the People Housing Scheme (PPR) for over 10 years.

Sabah West Coast Smart Consumers Association president David Chan said it was not right to force the tenants out as many of them are from the low income group and cannot afford to rent other houses or buy new homes.
