under the Civil Servants 1Malaysia Housing  Programme (PPA1M).<\/span><br \/> <\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"postContent\" style=\"font-size: 100%\">\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\"><strong class=\"text-bold\">KUALA LUMPUR, April 8, 2015:<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">House prices through the 1Malaysia Civil  Servants Housing Programme (PPA1M) have been deemed as \u201cstill high\u201d for  some low-ranking civil servants.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">Congress of Unions of Employees in the  Public and Civil Service (Cuepacs) president Datuk Azih Muda said the  estimated price, specified when PPA1M was launched by Prime Minister  Datuk Seri Najib Razak on Tuesday, was affordable only&nbsp;by a certain  section of civil servants.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">\u201cEstimates of between RM100,000 and  RM300,000 per unit are&nbsp;still high because many lower-ranking civil  servants cannot afford to buy at that price,\u201d he said when contacted by <em class=\"text-italic\">The Rakyat Post.<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">To compensate for this, Cuepacs  is&nbsp;suggesting&nbsp;that&nbsp;the federal&nbsp;government work with state governments to  build low- and medium-cost houses in rural areas.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">\u201cWe understand that with  increasing construction costs and the rising cost of living, low-income  civil servants are unable to&nbsp;own their own homes.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">\u201cIt is time for PPA1M to work with state  governments to build low- and medium-cost houses below RM100,000, from  RM80,000 to RM90,000 per unit.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">\u201cIn addition to this, housing loan rates  should be raised and loan interest rates lowered from 4% to 1% as has  been proposed by Cuepacs to the government.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">Azih also expressed his support to the  leadership of the Prime Minister who was concerned enough to launch a  programme to provide housing for civil servants and citizens who still  did&nbsp;not own homes.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">\u201cI want to express gratitude for the  efforts of the Prime Minister in making PPA1M a reality to enable civil  servants to&nbsp;own homes.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">\u201cI also hope that the National Housing  Policy is more consistent in continuing to build houses for civil  servants so that all public servants are not left out from owning their  own homes.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">In the meantime, he said, Cuepacs also  expected the government to consider the construction of more low-cost  homes&nbsp;for the welfare of civil servants in the future.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">Najib, during the launching and  balloting session of PPA1M Bukit Jalil on Tuesday, was quoted as saying  that for the welfare of civil servants who had contributed  significantly, the government had agreed to build 100,000 housing units  for them throughout the country.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">The Prime Minister said the residential  units that would&nbsp;be built would be sold at a price below the current  market value of between RM100,000 and RM300,000 per unit.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">Of the 100,000 units to be built, 1,536 units&nbsp;will be built in Bukit Jalil here.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">He said this was part of the  government\u2019s existing commitment to the welfare of the people with a  focus on target groups which needed comfortable homes.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">\u201cThe government will never forget the  services and sacrifices of civil servants and will continue to ensure  the welfare and comfort of civil servants are&nbsp;always&nbsp;looked after.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\">Also present at the ceremony were  Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor,  Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Dr Ali Hamsa, Kuala Lumpur  Mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Phesal Talib and Kayamas managing director of  assets Tan Sri Chai Kin Kong.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: white;border: medium none;color:
