KPKT needs more land (even from other ministries). Let’s help.
I firmly believe every Malaysian needing help to own a home should be helped to own a home. Without a property, any household would always be poor because they could never enjoy any capital appreciation from a property they own.

KLCP 2020 public consultation, Taman Rimba Kiara and corruption
