KUALA LANGAT, 16 May: The construction of Selangorku Homes units in Bandar Saujana Putra will be increased by the property developer due to high demand.
During the Launching Ceremony of the affordable housing in Bandar Saujana Putra, the Chief Minister, Mohamed Azmin Ali, said that 1,312 housing units will be built and expected to be completed in three years.
“However, due to overwhelming response, we will ask the developer, LBS, to consider this proposal. We do not want them to go home disappointed,” he told reporters.
About 3,000 visitors thronged the launching of Selangorku Homes at Bandar Saujana Putra, thus exceeding the units offered.
In fact, the hot weather did not prevent them from queuing and waiting since 7 am to obtain their queue numbers.
A private employee, Zaki Abdul Rahim, 36, was one of the people who did not want to miss out on the opportunity as he has been renting a house for over 15 years because he had no opportunity to own a home due to high prices.
“I tried, but never got to buy. With my small wage and high commitments, I could not buy an expensive home. I am tired of renting. Even rent has gone up,” he said.
LBS Managing Director Datuk Seri Lim Hock San said that they will consider increasing housing units in the area to meet the demand.
