NSTnation “This is what I call the fruit of the change in government in Putrajaya. At least things are moving now after Penang had not received any fundings since 2015.'

Penang has requested for RM28.76 million from the Housing Maintenance Programme fund and RM72.13 million from the Malaysia Home Maintenance Fund fund for next year, through two letters dated August and September respectively.

He said the official had indicated that the order of priority should be given to lift maintenance under the PPP. Jagdeep said while the lifts at the public housing schemes mentioned above were functioning, they needed periodical maintenance, upgrading and replacement. “So, it will be good for us to receive federal funding for that and we can use our funds for other projects,” he said, adding that the Penang government had spent RM232 million since 2008 until September this year for maintenance projects in all public housing schemes, local government housing schemes as well as eligible private housing schemes.
