SHAH ALAM, April 24 — Selangor government will review application to develop shophouses and small office houses (Soho) projects in the state.
State executive councillor for housing and urban wellbeing Rodziah Ismail said the move was necessary as the quit rent and utilities charges for such housing are at a commercial rate.
“The rate will burden the homeowners apart from giving a financial impact on the joint management body (JMB) and the management corporation (MC).
“Its unsold units are priced between RM400,000 to RM800,000,” she said after chairing the Housing and Urban Wellbeing Standing Committee (StanCo) meeting at the Shah Alam Convention Centre here yesterday.
Also present were Selangor Housing and Property Board (LPHS) Development Planning Division principal assistant director Mohd Hafiz Hassan and its Management Services Division principal assistant director Normaliza Md Rayis.
Meanwhile, Rodziah said LPHS has successfully implemented 98 per cent of its work target that is based on 15 key activities last year.
According to her, the achievements included the construction and delivery of Rumah Selangorku, Smart Rental Scheme, Ceria Scheme, monitoring of abandoned projects and digitisation programmes.
“This achievement is important to ensure that LPHS operates efficiently and effectively even during the movement control order (MCO period which restricts movement and requires the implementation of various new norms,” she said.
