PR1MA Tutup Kedai? Here Are Other Government Agencies Available

BY Team Loanstreet

Updated 13 Nov 2019




We're pretty sure you've heard the news that Perbadanan PR1MA Malaysia may be dissolved because the company is not making any profit due to its poor management, exorbitant land acquisition costs and unsuitable sites.

According to the recent news, a total of 1.42 million people have registered for PR1MA, a promise of one million homes by 2020, but only 16,682 units or 1.6% of the target were completed between 2013 and 2018, costing the government billions in public fund. Yikes! Well, that's another story for another day.

Now, to those who are looking for other options when it comes to affordable homes - don't worry. PR1MA isn't the only agency that offers affordable homes. Yup, that's right. Check out the list below.
