Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Aiman Athirah Sabu said 348 of the revived projects have obtained the Certificate of Completion and Compliance.
She said 17 delayed projects have resumed smoothly, and another six abandoned projects had been revived.
“Of the overall achievements, 25 projects, or 4,813 housing units, were successfully revived in the month of September alone, with a GDV of RM18.08 billion,” she said in a statement today.
The minister said over the first nine months this year, TFST had identified and monitored 303 delayed projects, 379 sick projects and 113 abandoned projects.
Aiman Athirah said site visits and close monitoring are essential to ensure project progress is carefully tracked, as various issues involving local authorities, technical agencies, and utility providers can be addressed to find the best solutions.
