He said the two changes were raising the household income eligibility from RM10,000 to RM15,000 and shortening the moratorium on house sale and rental from 10 years to five years."The eligibility income level increase to RM15,000 is to enable more people to own a PR1MA house, apart from shortening the moratorium period. These are among measures taken by the Government that is committed to enabling people, especially the target group, to own a PR1MA house," he said."PR1MA homes are targeted at M40 or the middle-income segment, while SPNB (Syarikat Perumahan Negara Berhad) focuses on B40. We know that sometimes our lowest prices overlap with SPNB's homes at their highest price level," explained PR1MA Assistant Vice President for Corporate Communications, Anna Maria Binti Samsudin.The Saturday-Sunday sales event featured a new development, PR1MA @ Manggatal.
