awam berbanding $1.46 bilion dalam
Rancangan Malaysia Kelima (RML). Semua

PKPKR diperkenalkan pada 1986 dengan
matlamat menyediakan 240,000 unit rumah
kos rendah dalam tempoh RML seiring
dengan matlamat jangka panjang kerajaan
untuk memastikan setiap golongan
berpendapatan rendah mempunyai rumah
yang sempurna. Walaupun sebanyak 352,495
unit membabitkan 1,056 projek sudah

dibina. Di samping itu, 179,192 unit
lagi sedang dalam perancangan, 129,236
masih dalam pembinaan dan 44,067 lagi
selesai dibina hingga Ogos tahun lalu.
Peruntukan sebanyak $390.72 juta

sudah digunakan sehingga akhir tahun
