PR1MA to be national housing corporation — Zuraida

PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of Housing and Local Government is planning to mould Perbadanan PR1MA Malaysia (PR1MA) into a national housing corporation to ensure a centralised and standardised housing industry for easy monitoring and enforcement, among others.

Its minister Zuraida Kamaruddin in brushing off the allegation that PR1MA would be dissolved soon said the government was looking at the way forward for the corporation where housing projects under the education and defence ministries, respectively as well as Felda’s new generation would be placed under PR1MA.

“The government hopes to move PR1MA in the like of Singapore’s Housing Development Board (HDB),” she told a media conference on PR1MA updates at her office here yesterday.
