GEORGE TOWN, Sept 27 — The Penang state government today launched a
RM50 million programme to supplement the federal government’s 1
Malaysia Maintenance Fund (TP-1M) programme.
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said the Housing Assistance Programme of Penang (HAPPY) would supplement the balance of the cost of upgrading or repairing low-cost housing not covered under the TP-1M programme.
“The RM500 million TP-1M programme will only pay up to 90 per cent for repair costs of low-cost housing projects and 70 per cent for low medium-cost housing projects while the balance 10 per cent and 30 per cent will be borne by the project management body (JMB) or residents association,” said Lim.
He said the management bodies or residents associations would have problems paying for the repair costs and this was where the HAPPY programme came in.
“The funding for this programme is from the savings the state government made in its budget since 2008,” he said in his speech at the opening of a seminar for JMBs and the official launch of HAPPY.
Housing executive councillor Wong Hon Wai said the state government will work closely with the federal government to implement the programme as the state will pay for the balance of the repair costs in applications approved under the TP-1M programme.
Funds will only be allocated to low-cost housing worth RM42,000 and below and low medium-cost housing worth between RM42,000 and RM80,000. The prices are based on the original price of the property and not the property’s current value.
“About 600 projects in the state will benefit from this programme,” Wong said.
The funding for repair work includes for common facilities such as lift repairs, paintwork, piping, sewage and wiring works.
GEORGE
TOWN, 27 Sept — Kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang melancarkan projek
bernilai RM50 juta sebagai tambahan bagi program Dana Penyelenggaraan
1Malaysia (TP-1M) yang diperkenalkan kerajaan pusat.
Program Bantuan Perumahan Pulau Pinang (HAPPY) bertujuan untuk menampung baki kos naik taraf atau membaiki rumah kos rendah yang tidak ditanggung dalam TP-1M.
"Program RM500 juta TP-1M hanya membayar 90% untuk kos pembaikan projek perumahan kos rendah (LC) dan 70% bagi kos sederhana rendah (LMC) manakala baki 10% dan 30% akan ditanggung oleh pihak pengurusan projek (JMB) atau persatuan penduduk (RA),"kata Lim.
Beliau berkata badan-badan pengurusan atau persatuan penduduk LC dan LMC mungkin menghadapi masalah untuk membayar kos pembaikan dan menyifatkan program HAPPY adalah penyelesaian kepada masalah ini.
"Pembiayaan untuk program ini adalah hasil dari penjimatan kerajaan negeri dalam berbelanja sejak 2008," katanya semasa merasmikan seminar JMB dan program HAPPY.
Exco perumahan, Wong Hon Wai berkata kerajaan negeri akan bekerjasama dengan kerajaan pusat dalam melaksanaan program ini memandangkan kerajaan negeri akan membayar baki kos penyelenggaraan selaras sepertimana yang terkandung dalam program TP-1M.
Dana ini hanya diperuntukkan untuk perumahan kos rendah bernilai RM42,000 dan ke bawah, manakala perumahan kos sederhana rendah pula dalam lingkungan antara RM42,000 ke RM80,000. Harga yang diberi berasaskan harga asal hartanah tersebut dan tidak berdasarkan nilai semasa hartanah.
"Kira-kira 600 projek-projek di negeri ini akan mendapat manfaat daripada program ini," kata Wong.
Pembiayaan untuk kerja-kerja membaiki antaranya termasuklah meliputi kemudahan sedia ada seperti pembaikian lif, mengecat, perpaipan, kumbahan dan pendawaian.
