Rembau: The People's Housing Programme (PPR) in Rembau, built at a cost of RM91.2 million, has been fully completed and is now ready for occupancy after five years of construction. Deputy Minister of Housing and Local Government Datuk Aiman Athirah Sabu announced that the PPR Rembau, which began construction on March 4, 2020, was completed and handed over to the National Housing Department on February 27 this year.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, 166 eligible applicants have passed the screening process and received offer letters to occupy units in the first phase of the PPR Rembau project. "This is a symbol of successful strategic collaboration between the Federal and State Governments in providing comfortable and quality housing. It reflects the spirit of Malaysia MADANI, where care for the people's needs is our top priority," Aiman Athirah stated at the Offer Letter Handover Ceremony and Open Day for PPR Rembau at Mukim Chembong.

Also present at the event was Negeri Sembilan Senior State Executive Councillor Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias. Aiman Athirah further explained that all recipients were offered the Rent-to-Own (RTO) scheme, which provides rental for a minimum period of five years and up to a maximum of 20 years.

Jalaluddin revealed that a total of 1,422 PPR units have been completed or are under construction in Negeri Sembilan, including the PPR Jempol project in Kampung Dato' Johan, which is currently in the pre-construction phase and will provide 100 homes for local residents.

Normasita Md Diah, 38, a mother of three, expressed gratitude and joy upon learning she was selected for the first phase, stating that owning her own home had been a long-held dream. Another recipient, H. Uphaindro, 36, a general worker at a local school, also thanked the government for providing PPR facilities that help B40 households own their own homes.

PPR Rembau was constructed on nearly 16.18 hectares (40 acres) and comprises 452 single-storey terrace houses, each measuring 700 square feet. The project includes various amenities such as a surau, community hall, stalls, playground, and inclusive communal spaces for residents.
