112 Rumah Bantuan MAIWP Units In Ganggarak Permai Occupied Since July

LABUAN, Oct 22 (Bernama) -- A total of 112 units of Rumah Bantuan MAIWP at Ganggarak Permai here have been occupied by eligible asnaf recipients since July

Rumah Bantuan MAIWP is part of a housing assistance programme implemented by the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council (MAIWP) for eligible recipients.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar said of the total, 72 were distributed under the Hibah Programme, while the remaining 40 were offered through the Rent-to-Own Programme.

“Under the Hibah Programme, recipients receive their homes free of charge, while participants of the Rent-to-Own Programme pay between RM150 and RM250 monthly, depending on their age, until full ownership is achieved,” he told reporters after visiting the occupants at Ganggarak Permai today.

Mohd Na’im said each house is designed with three bedrooms, a living room, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a dry yard, with a floor area of between 800 and 850 square feet.

“To ensure residents’ comfort, MAIWP also provided essential furnishings, including three bed sets with mattresses, three wardrobes, a dining set, a gas stove and cylinder, kitchen cabinets, curtains, and safety grilles,” he said.

Mohd Na’im said the first MAIWP housing project on the island involved a total expenditure of RM33.83 million, of which RM3.22 million was allocated for household furnishings.
