Housing scheme for hardcore poor rebranded, says Zahid


KOTA TINGGI: The Rural and Regional Development Ministry has rebranded the hardcore poor housing programme (PPRT) to Program Perumahan Rakyat Sejahtera (PPRS) in a move to change the community's perception and mindset.

Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also Deputy Prime Minister, said the exercise includes increasing the size of PPRS units to 680sq ft based on national housing standards and policies, and introducing a rent-to-own concept.
