SEREMBAN: Just weeks after announcing a revised housing policy for the state, Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said his administration will from now on encourage developers to also build affordable shoplots.

These single-storey shoplots, which will cost less than RM400,000, will be sold to small and medium enterprises whose annual turnover is lower than RM500,000.

“We will launch the first such project in Sunggala in Port Dickson soon. Earth-clearing works are already underway,” said Mohamad.

“We do not want a situation where these small business owners can only mampu tengok (afford to watch) new shoplots being built but we want them to be mampu milik (able to own).”

He said those interested to buy these properties should register with the state housing unit to be considered.

Similar to the affordable housing concept, he said a balloting exercise would be carried out for the affordable shoplots by the state housing unit to ensure there was no manipulation.

“We want those who operate stalls, mechanics who operate under trees and others who can't afford to buy double or three-storey shoplots to be able to operate from a proper place.

“This is also necessary as the prices of shoplots are now far beyond their reach,” he said.
