The Housing Development Corporation (HDC) is now the caretaker of the People’s Housing Project (PPR) at Bandaria Park in Bintulu, after it was handed over by the National Housing Department (JPN).
The handing over ceremony was held yesterday at Wisma Sultan Tengah, Kuching. HDC was represented by its chairman Datuk Dr Abang Abdul Rauf Abang Zen, while Datuk Mohamad Yusoff Ghazali acted on JPN’s behalf.
As a result, the Housing Development Corporation is now in-charge of the project’s maintenance and collection of rental fees.
Situated at Block 37, Kemena Land District in Bintulu, PPR Bandaria Park is one of the public housing schemes for rent in Sarawak. It was built by JPN and was funded by the federal government.
Its main objective is to serve as a resettlement area for squatters and as temporary homes for low-income families in Bintulu. The leasing scheme gives priority to qualified squatters, and charge a monthly rent of RM150.
Overall, PPR Bandaria Park encompasses 1,000 flats, including 10 OKU units. Common facilities include a surau, playground, a kindergarten, six lockup shops, community halls, a guardhouse and management office.
On the other hand, each 700 sq ft flat comes with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen as well a dining and family room.
