Hardcore Poor Housing Programme -shocking how these hardcore families are actually treated by the 'MADANI' caring government...
The could not 'AFFORD' to pay rent - so, areas in rent due becomes RM34,000 - Guess what, the
A group of tenants who failed to pay their rent at a government housing project for the hardcore poor in Lobak, Seremban, have fled before their doors were broken down by the Seremban City Council..."They discussed the matter with the council which asked them to pay half of the arrears – RM34,000," a relative of the only remaining family said."But they didn't have the money. They were given 14 days to pack their things, after which they would be evicted."
A banner put up by the Seremban City Council outside the Lobak flats for the hardcore poor, warning tenants that their doors would be removed if they fail to settle rent arrears.
Is this how PM Anwar Ibrahim's deal with the Hardcore Poor - EVICT them from their homes with no bother as to where they will stay...?
Worse, it is Seremban where DAP Secretary General is MP -
Nga Kor Meng[Minister of Housing and Local Government of Malaysia], are you not the Minister responsible for Local Government - I think this is a much serious issue that 'dress-codes' - How could the Local Council(Government) be so heartless - and make THREATS that doors will be removed if rent not paid?
RAMADAN MONTH - Anwar, show some compassion for the POOR - allow these Hardcore Poor Families to return to their HOMES. Attach back their DOORS - and see how their rent arears can be death with - Anwar[with about RM11 million] maybe should consider a personal donation to settle outstanding rent...
Anthony Loke, a government MP - what the 'additional allocation' you get from the Federal Government, which Opposition MPs are denied, can you not use that to ASSIST these HARDCORE POOR?
Or, are they really not 'Hardcore Poor' who just got the units to rent because they are connected to some political party - IF SO, Investigate and prosecute the wrongdoers? Too long Malaysian are losing money because government fails to act as required...giving allocations to 'supporters' or 'friends' rather than the deserving Hardcore POOR...This must end...this must end..
In Seremban, 'poorest of poor' tenants flee flats as city council breaks down doors
Unable to pay their rent, they have taken to their heels, leaving even personal belongings behind.
A group of tenants who failed to pay their rent at a government housing project for the hardcore poor in Lobak, Seremban, have fled before their doors were broken down by the Seremban City Council, raising questions about their current whereabouts and fate.
Checks by MalaysiaNow found that only one of the six units in question remains occupied. The doors of four units were broken down while the other two were locked.
"They discussed the matter with the council which asked them to pay half of the arrears – RM34,000," a relative of the only remaining family said.
"But they didn't have the money. They were given 14 days to pack their things, after which they would be evicted."
The family, which had hung a cloth to cover their empty door frame, would say no more and refused to be interviewed by MalaysiaNow.
At one of the abandoned units, however, personal belongings including a television and family portraits were still scattered about.
A neighbour said that the family of four had left the unit after receiving a notice pasted on the wall.
"I'm not sure where they went or why they were unable to pay their rent," the man who introduced himself as Ganesh added.
The same appeared to have happened to another tenant, who was seen leaving her home after receiving a similar notice.
According to her neighbours, she was an Indian woman in her 50s who lived alone.
The events at the flats have raised questions about the original intent of the units, which were built under the Hardcore Poor Housing Programme or PPRT and meant to accommodate those in the lowest income bracket.
MalaysiaNow has contacted the city council and Seremban MP Anthony Loke for a response.
There are 200 units at the Lobak PPRT, the majority of which are occupied by Indian tenants.
In a statement on Feb 27, the city council said it had taken down the doors of the units involved as a lesson to the tenants to pay their arrears.
"Nevertheless, they are allowed to remain on the premises for now or seek accommodation elsewhere," it said.
It said a total of RM1.8 million in arrears was owed. - Malaysia Now, 6/3/2025
