14/10/2003 The Star
FIVE of the 14 abandoned housing projects in
Penang will be revived by Syarikat Perumahan Negara Bhd (SPNB), the
national housing company.
Another eight are to be revived by the developer, project manager
and appointed turnkey contractor, State Housing, Entrepreneur
Development and Cooperative Committee chairman Datuk Abdul Rashid
Abdullah said.
The Taman Pekatra project in South Seberang Prai is in the process
of obtaining Occupation Certificate (OC) for its Phase One, he said.
Projects taken over by SPNB, he added, were Taman Cemerlang at
Bandar Baru Air Itam, Fettes Villa at Mount Erskine, Taman Sri Bayu
at Bayan Lepas and Taman Sejahtera as well as Taman Widuri and Taman
Sri Bayu in Seberang Prai.
The other projects revived or in the process of being revived were
Taman Sri Semarak at Bandar Baru Air Itam, Taman Terubong Indah
(Majestic Heights) at Paya Terubong, Villa Emas Evani at Jalan Bukit
Dumbar and Pangsapuri Widuri, Taman Malwira and three housing
projects by Penang Regional Development Authority (Perda) in
Seberang Prai.
Abdul Rashid said both Pangsapuri Widuri and Taman Sri Bayu were
expected to obtain OC at the end of the year.
Projects taken over by SPNB were mainly at the discussion stage on
revival plans, he added.
Abdul Rashid was replying to a written question by Lee Hack Teik (BN
– Pengkalan Kota)at the State Assembly, who wanted to know the
state's plans to revive abandoned housing projects in the state.
“The allocation for revival of abandoned housing projects as
proposed in the national budget recently is not channelled to the
state but to SPNB and monitored by the Ministry,” he said.
