PPR Taman Manggis to implement gated and guarded scheme

Starting 1 Feb, the People’s Housing Project (PPR) at Taman Manggis in George Town will become the first PPR in Penang to adopt a gated and guarded scheme. The move, aimed at addressing maintenance fee issues, was announced by State Housing and Environment Committee chairman Datuk Seri Sundarajoo Somu during a visit to the site.

Sundarajoo urged residents to pay their maintenance fees promptly, emphasizing that failure to do so could result in restricted access to their units, including limited use of lifts and entry to the compound.

“This initiative aligns with the Housing and Local Government Ministry’s efforts to tackle maintenance arrears. Timely payments will enable beneficial neighborhood improvements and enhance the units’ market value,” he said.

Sundarajoo also reiterated the need for PPR occupants to vacate their units once their household income improves after three years. Residents earning above RM1,500 can transition to the rent-to-own (RTO) scheme, allowing the state to prioritize those in need. However, exceptions may be considered for valid reasons.

Additionally, Sundarajoo highlighted that Penang’s affordable housing program has been rebranded as Rumah Mutiaraku, reflecting the state’s commitment to housing initiatives.
