SEPANG, Jan 13 — The long-awaited handover of the Ampar Tenang People’s Housing Project (PPR) has brought relief to 404 low-cost homeowners, ending their decade-long wait.
The project, transferred from the Housing and Local Government Ministry’s housing planning division to the National Housing Department, marks a significant milestone for residents who had been living in temporary accommodations in Taman Permata, Dengkil.
Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Aiman Athirah Sabu, shared the good news during her visit to the site today, calling the handover a result of collaborative efforts and determination by the Madani government.
“Today, we officially hand over the Ampar Tenang PPR project, developed on land previously owned by Sime Darby Sdn Bhd and inhabited by workers from Ladang Perang Besar, Medingly, Galloway, and Sedgley estates,” she said.
Aiman Athirah, who is also Sepang MP, assured the process of handing over keys to homeowners will be completed by year-end.
“The National Housing Department will oversee the key handover, and we will keep homeowners informed. We aim to ensure all residents can move into their new homes this year,” she added.
The project comprises single-storey terrace houses with a built-up area of 750 sq ft, including four units designed for persons with disabilities. Construction began on August 1, 2017, and the development received its Certificate of Completion and Compliance on December 31, 2024.
Funded through an RM88 million allocation from the PPR Trust Fund, the housing project is equipped with essential facilities, including a community hall, playground, and open spaces.
“Our policy ensures 1 per cent of the housing quota is allocated for people with disabilities. Buyers will only need to pay RM20,000 for these homes, with the remaining RM50,000 subsidised by the government,” Aiman Athirah said.
The Ampar Tenang PPR represents a collaborative effort between the federal government and the Selangor government, facilitated through the acquisition of 30 acres of land from Sime Darby Sdn Bhd, valued at RM15 million.
