Sime Darby Property hands over RMMJ to purchasers
PETALING JAYA: Sime Darby Property Bhd has handed over affordable homes and shops under the Rumah Mampu Milik Johor (RMMJ) scheme to purchasers at Taman Pasir Putih recently.
The development, the first RMMJ project for Sime Darby Property, was launched in October 2014 and it was completed in September 2017. It involves the development and delivery of 184 units of double-storey homes (18’ x 60’) and 108 units of single-storey shop lots (20’ x 60’).
Johor State Housing and Local Government Committee chairman Datuk Md Jais Sarday officiated the handover ceremony. Pasir Gudang Municipal Council President (MPPG) Hasrin Kamal Hashim and Sime Darby property chief operating officer Datuk Wan Hashimi Albakri Wan Ahmad Amin Jaffri also attended the event.
“The RMMJ scheme was launched by the Johor state government to provide homeownership opportunities to the people of Johor and other Malaysians, with the objective to deliver a total of 60,000 units by the year 2020.
“The state government aims to complete the building of 5,490 affordable housing units to enable immediate offering to buyers by the end of this year. We are also planning to launch a rent-to-own housing scheme soon, to allow the low-income group to acquire homes without difficulty,” Md Jais said.
Sime Darby Property managing director Datuk Sri Amrin Awaluddin said Sime Darby Property is proud to support the state government’s effort to provide homes to all income groups.
“As a leading property developer in the country, we support this noble objective. Sime Darby Property has been serving the market for 45 years, and we believe that consumers deserve quality products. It should not matter if they buy a higher end unit or an affordable unit. This is what we strive for,” Amrin said.
The RMMJ homes developed by Sime Darby Property in Taman Pasir Putih adheres to the Johor state housing policy guidelines. Despite its affordable price range, Sime Darby Property took a step further by incorporating the latest design philosophy of maximising space and the use of the best building materials.
Taman Pasir Putih is connected to Johor Bahru and parts of the Iskandar Malaysia region by the Pasir Gudang and Coastal Highway and other main roads.
