Kuala lumpur: The Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) is set to embark on the development of the largest People's Residency Programme (PRR) in Malaysia, located in Seri Permaisuri, Kuala Lumpur, under the 13th Malaysia Plan.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming revealed that discussions have been conducted with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim regarding this ambitious project. The development will feature 1,319 housing units specifically targeted at the young generation.

Nga Kor Ming announced that these units are intended to serve as transit homes for students and young people. He shared this information during a media session at the Ihya Ramadan - Islah MADANI: Memurni Jiwa Membangun Ummah programme, an event attended by the Prime Minister and the ministry's staff.

The Minister further explained that the PRR development would be envisioned as a well-planned housing area, with more details to be disclosed at the upcoming ground-breaking ceremony. This initiative is a part of the federal government's public housing efforts to assist squatters and the B40 income group in securing better and more affordable housing options.

During the event, attendees, including the Prime Minister and staff from KPKT, participated in a religious lecture titled "Ramadan: Building Unity and Love," delivered by Muhd Haris Mohd Ismail, also known as PU Haris, followed by the Zuhur prayer in congregation.
