“Malaysia completes 34 delayed PR1MA housing projects, allowing 22,925 buyers to receive homes as the government targets zero sick housing projects by 2030.”
Melaka, 3rd April 2026, 02.30pm – A total of 34 previously delayed PR1MA housing projects across Malaysia have now been successfully completed, allowing 22,925 homebuyers to finally take possession of their homes.
Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming announced the achievement following the key handover ceremony for the final two projects — Residensi Klebang 2 and Residensi Bukit Katil.
According to Nga, the government had inherited 34 problematic PR1MA developments involving nearly 23,000 housing units nationwide, many of which faced significant delays.
“Today marks the full completion of all 34 projects. All developments have obtained their Certificate of Completion and Compliance (CCC), and keys have been handed over to purchasers,” he said during a press conference on Thursday.
Also present at the event was Melaka State Executive Councillor for Housing, Local Government, Drainage, Climate Change and Disaster Management Datuk Rais Yasin.
Resolution of long-standing PR1MA project delays
Nga described the completion as a major milestone in resolving legacy issues involving PR1MA housing projects, particularly those affected by construction disruptions during the Covid-19 pandemic period.
He noted that the completion exercise not only addressed project delays but also delivered significant social impact by helping thousands of Malaysians achieve homeownership.
“We have not only resolved inherited housing issues but more importantly fulfilled the homeownership aspirations of 22,925 buyers, especially those from the B40 and M40 income groups,” he said.
Government targets zero sick housing projects by 2030
Moving forward, Nga said the government aims to eliminate sick and abandoned housing projects entirely by 2030 as part of broader housing sector reforms.
This includes plans to develop an additional 4,351 PR1MA housing units to further support affordable housing supply.
The minister emphasised that homeownership remains a critical component of financial security and social stability.
“Housing is not just a basic necessity but also a long-term asset that contributes to household wealth creation,” he said.
Housing sector still facing cost pressures
Despite the progress, Nga acknowledged ongoing challenges affecting the housing sector, including global economic uncertainty, rising building material costs, and inflationary pressures impacting development costs.
He said the ministry will continue to monitor project implementation and market conditions closely to ensure housing affordability remains intact while discouraging excessive speculation.
Continued focus on affordable and sustainable housing
Nga reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening Malaysia’s affordable housing ecosystem through better project monitoring, improved delivery systems, and sustainable township planning.
He added that future PR1MA developments will continue to focus on quality housing delivery while fostering inclusive and sustainable communities.
