SEREMBAN, Nov 13 -- In its efforts to resolve the issue of abandoned housing project in Taman Rembau Bayu, in Rembau, the state government, together with officials from the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) will meet with 27 home buyers who have been left in a lurch since 2014.

Negeri Sembilan Urban Well-being, Housing, Local Government and New Villages Committee chairman Teo Kok Seong said the meeting, scheduled to be held next week, aimed at looking at ways to resolve the issue.

“We are looking into what is going on, we will talk to the ministry to see how it can help these buyers ... Based on the previous practice, the ministry officials will meet with buyers to find ways to assist the buyers with the existing provisions,” he said to reporters after the state exco meeting here today.

Teo said the state government had previously completed several abandoned housing projects comprising shop houses and residential homes and hoped that the Taman Rembau Bayu case would find the best solution.

“Previously, the state government resolved the issue of abandoned shop houses and residential homes in the Bandar Satelit, Senawang, Taman Perpaduan Heights Kuala Pilah and shop houses at Jalan Veloo here.

“Hence, I hope the Taman Rembau Bayu case will be resolved ... and I hope the buyers can be patient,” he said.

He said the 50 per cent of the Taman Rembau Bayu housing project was already completed, with 27 units of the total 39 units were already sold.

Yesterday, 27 home buyers in Taman Rembau Bayu urged the ministry to help solve the housing project which had been abandoned since 2014.

Taman Rembau Bayu abandoned project action committee chairman Abd Aziz Hamid, 67, claimed that he had previously lodged a complaint to the ministry during the previous government administration, unfortunately no action had been taken.

The housing project began in November 2012 and was slated for completion in December 2014 with prices ranging from RM250,000 to RM450,000 per unit.
