Homeowners must set repayment as priority: Minister

180

It is the homeowner’s responsibility in the National Housing Scheme to make repayment consistently, as stated in the agreement between the owner and the government. The commitment of making repayment consistently must be given priority by homeowners under the scheme.

In enhancing the effectiveness in repayment collection, the Ministry of Development (MoD), through the Housing Development Department, will continue to issue notices and reminders to homeowners as well as guarantors under the National Housing Scheme to provide updated payment status such as payments that have been made and outstanding payments.

Minister of Development Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Ir Awang Haji Suhaimi bin Haji Gafar highlighted this in response to Legislative Council (LegCo) member Yang Berhormat Pengiran Haji Mohamed bin Pengiran Haji Osman @ Othman on the issue of late repayment by National Housing Scheme homeowners during the 18th LegCo session yesterday.
