KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government is looking into increasing the quota of housing programmes for the hardcore poor (PPRT) in the state, the Sabah state assembly was told on Tuesday (Dec 7).

Sabah Rural Development Minister Datuk Jahid Jahim said that the average annual demand for housing units catering to the hardcore poor in Sabah was around 4,500 units.

"My Ministry has taken efforts to increase the PPRT quota in Sabah, including sending a letter to the Rural Development Ministry at the federal level,” he said in a reply to a question by Datuk Anwar Ayuub who wanted to know what the government had done to assist and increase the PPRT quota in Sabah.
