SHAH ALAM, Feb 6 — The Selangor government is focusing on restoring 14 main housing projects in the state, including Rumah Selangorku Morib Bay, said state executive councillor for housing and culture Datuk Borhan Aman Shah.
He added that of the 14, seven are to be completed soon, while solutions for the rest are being considered, involving the appointment of saviour contractors and direct intervention by the Selangor Housing and Property Board (LPHS).
Borhan explained that the recovery effort showed clear progress when some projects earned the Fitness for Occupation Certificate (CFO) and Completion and Compliance Certificate (CCC).
“I want to emphasise that the state government has not disregarded abandoned projects, but is taking a moderate, capability-based approach to expedite projects with potential for completion.
“This move also aims to address serious roadblocks in legal and technical channels, and ensure buyers’ interests are protected transparently and responsibly,” he told Media Selangor.
Borhan said among the projects under special focus are Rumah Selangorku and village expansion plans, which involve a large number of units and directly affect local communities.
For projects like Rumah Selangorku Morib Bay and several others, he said recovery methods have been identified as a result of continuous consultations that led to the selection of saviour developers.
He added that up to December, Selangor had 161 problematic housing projects — 40 abandoned ones and 121 ailing projects.
“The 40 abandoned housing projects involve 16,001 units, with 7,964 units already sold to buyers,” he explained.
Borhan also said 18 projects are slated for recovery, 17 are undergoing recovery, and five haven’t progressed and need further study in terms of legal, financial and land ownership aspects.
Meanwhile, 121 ailing housing projects are being closely monitored and addressed through early intervention to ensure they don’t turn into abandoned endeavours.
