Felda plans to expand the Planned Second Generation Housing Programme nationwide to resolve housing problems faced by the group.
Felda chairman Tan Sri Shahrir Abdul Samad said through the programme, Felda would cooperate with the state government to provide housing sites for selected settlers before the eligible candidates can seek a loan from Syarikat Perumahan Negara Berhad (SPNB) for the construction of the house.
"Efforts to address the second generation's housing problem has always been given attention by Felda, the country's leadership and the state, which is to find a way to help them.
"The programme is viewed as among Felda's new approach to resolve this problem through which the second generation find their own housing site in collaboration with the state government before Felda and other government agencies can assist in building the houses," he said.
He was speaking to reporters at the launch of the ground breaking ceremony of the Planned Second Generation Housing Site in Felda Keratong 5, near here Monday.
The ceremony was officiated by Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob. -- Bernama
