KUCHING: The Federal Government has not received feedback from the Sarawak state government on the issue over People’s Housing Project (PPR) units being sold at much higher prices than in the Peninsula.

Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin said she had called on the state government to adjust the housing prices during her previous visit to the state.

“It’s not logical to build the house at a certain cost only to raise the price and save the money... that’s not right. We built the houses to make them accessible to the people, so when you raise the prices further, it would burden the people.

“We have urged them to consider but to date they have not responded to the ministry’s request,” she told reporters when asked to comment further on the matter here Sunday. – Bernama
