LAHAD DATU: The Government must make sure the abandoned housing project of Bandar Sri Gemilang at Jalan Tungku here is completed immediately as the house owners have started paying the monthly installments to the bank.
Making the call, Tungku Sabah Progressive Party SAPP chairman Datu Shuaib bin Dato Mutalib said he sympathised with the house owners for the difficulties as the unit is a government project developed by Syarikat Perumahan Negara (SPN).
He said Assistant Minister to the Chief Minister should not give any more excuses for the delay in completing the project, as the Government is financially capable as claimed by the Barisan Nasional (BN) government.
“The Government should not make promises that it cannot keep just to fish for votes. For instance, a project to build an airport here has been announced twice several months ago where by the first site was initially identified at Sandau Jalan Sandakan. Now the site has been moved to Silabukan.
"Another promise was to build 350 Hardcore Poor Household People (PPRT) housing units ar Sabah Baru here but only 13 units were completed without basic amenities.
"The project was launched in 2006 and until now there are no signs that the PPRT homes would be completed," he said in a statement.
Shuaib also questioned whether the Government is serious in keeping the promises to the people or arethey simply empty promises.
