Police To Investigate Housing Projects
The Star has this on its front page today.
“Probe under way into 12 stalled police housing plans”
Police are investigating 11 developers who have abandoned or delayed construction of 12 police housing projects costing a whopping RM500mil.
Some of the problems mentioned are:
- 2,670 personnel and their families are without quarters.
- The Government has to fork out an additional RM8.2mil a year in allowances for those renting houses.
- Only 99 of 211 projects under the 8th Malaysia Plan, which ends next year, have been completed.
- Some of the completed projects are not fit for occupation.
The police have been forking out an additional RM8.2mil a year in housing allowances to its rank and file and officers due to the 12 abandoned housing projects. Actually, this problem is not limited to police personnel housing projects.
