SANDAKAN: Repairs are ongoing for 100 housing units in one block of the Taman Harmoni PPR, which remain unoccupied until fully restored, said Sabah Assistant Minister of Local Government and Housing, Datuk Isnin Aliasnih.

He added that additional funding will be requested, with completion expected this year.

“We understand many are still on the waiting list, but we want residents to live in safe and complete homes,” he said during a site visit Tuesday.

Applications from squatters displaced by demolitions will be considered, but both spouses must be Malaysian citizens to qualify.

Sandakan has 6,080 PPR units, some of which are currently under repair.
