The momentum of house construction under the initiative is going well with 40,000 units currently in the process of awaiting related approval.
"The (Rumah Idaman Initiative) which is in the pipeline means (in) approval and waiting for the planning permission process and building permission and so on for approximately 40,000 units.

Rumah Idaman is a successful state government initiative to meet the growing demand for quality and affordable homes in strategic urban centres.
This initiative offers specially designed units for Malaysians from the B40 and M40 groups, especially first-home buyers and small families who want to establish themselves in the property market.
Meanwhile, Amirudin said the house project under Rumah Idaman offers an attractive package for buyers because the units are spacious and equipped with air conditioning.
The Putra Idaman Project in Putra Suburb Village under the Oriental Interest Group Berhad in collaboration with Permodalan Negeri Selangor Berhad through its subsidiary, PNSB Construction Sdn Bhd, is targeted for completion in 2028.
Putra Idaman will feature two apartment blocks, offering a total of 502 semi-furnished units. Each unit is sold for RM250,000 and is specially designed for low to medium-income families.
