MIRI: Some 591 out of 817 units planned for the first phase of the civil servant special housing scheme in Miri have been snapped up.
Prime Minister department assistant secretary Mursyidul Marzuki, who oversees the project, said the brisk sale of the double-storey houses showed that civil servants in Miri were keen on the housing project.
“These double storey unit costs RM300,000 each.
“We are happy with the good response from civil servants in Miri,” he said at a briefing at the Miri Resident Office.
Chief Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg is expected to witness the sales and purchase deal between housebuyers and the developer this Saturday in Miri.
The project, called Perumahan Penjawat Awam 1 Malaysia (PPA1M), will be developed by Pantai Bayu Indah Sdn Bhd. It was launched last November by Sarawak Assistant Safety Minister Datuk Lee Kim Shin.
Lee had said for a built-up of 1,200sq ft, the price of a PPA1M unit was 30% cheaper than the market price.
The PPA1M scheme in Miri will be located in Parkcity Eastwood area, next to the Pan-Borneo Highway.
There will also be commercial centres and recreation areas for the residents. — By STEPHEN THEN
