Fuss About Hdb System

---

Stop being shallow,Malays will benefit from HDB system... Opposition leaders were lambasted today for alleging that Local Government Development Minister Nga Kor Ming has a racial agenda to oppress the Malay-Muslim community by emulating Singapore’s Housing and Development Board (HDB) housing plans.
Terengganu Pakatan Harapan chairperson Raja Kamarul Bahrin Shah Raja Ahmad Kamarul said in a statement that such “narrow-minded” and reckless accusations from PAS and Bersatu are belittling efforts by the government to solve housing woes for the B40 and M40 community - most of whom are Malays.
He contended that the Malay community would benefit the most if the HDB housing system is successfully implemented at a lower cost with positive socio-economic factors. “The opposition cannot be prejudiced and make reckless accusations based on racial emotions just because the minister (Nga) is not a Malay and the majority of Singaporeans are not Malays,” he said.
Singapore's HDB Housing...
He also questioned if there were efforts made during former prime ministers Muhyiddin Yassin and Ismail Ismail Sabri Yaakob's administrations to find a solution to this dire problem. “Why are they afraid that the Harapan government could solve this issue – an issue that they did not even want to look into when PN (Perikatan Nasional) ruled?”
During his tenure as local government development deputy minister under former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad-led government, Kamarul said various efforts were carried out by the ministry including introducing a Home Ownership Campaign.
However, Kamarul said they were not fully successful as there were still many from the M40 and B40 community who could not own a house. He said that various housing models in other nations including South Korea, Singapore and other developed countries have been studied for a long time.

Elaborating on the matter, Kamarul said Singapore’s HDB housing system is the most suitable and practical as there are many similarities in the community’s ethnic profile, the weather and the construction system used.
“Singapore's HDB housing system is among the best in the world and is recognised by many countries. HDB has also won many major international awards and its excellence is recognised by western countries and Japan. 
“I am speaking as an architect who had served in the government and often lived in Singapore HDB apartments because I have relatives there. “More than 90 percent of Malays in Singapore have their own homes to live in from a young age,” he said.
He added that among the facilities provided by the neighbouring country’s HDB are health clinics, hairdressers, recreational halls, a place to hold receptions (bersanding) for Malay weddings and a place to bathe the body of a deceased.
Therefore, Kamarul said Nga’s plan to consult Singapore’s HDB experts is a positive step to solve long-standing problems for the poor to have a comfortable and affordable place to live. “The time has come to prioritise the importance for the poor to have a place to live.
“For Malaysians to progress, we need politicians who are more mature and progressive, not those who are narrow-minded and negative and who always stir up racist sentiments. "Don’t play racial political issues without thinking about the future of the people who need affordable housing.”
Singapore's HDB Housing...
Previously, PN leaders claimed that Nga is trying to undermine Malay property ownership and demographic spread through housing policies, with some saying it is a violation of the country's safety and sovereignty. This came after Nga revealed that his ministry would be meeting with contractors from Singapore's HDB in order to learn about the nation-state's successful public housing programme.
Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor had also alleged that Nga has a hidden agenda to revive the local government elections by emulating Singapore’s housing plans.
Meanwhile, Nga has repeatedly said that restoring local government elections is not a priority for the people at the moment. He said his ministry is prioritising the people’s livelihood and everyday issues, despite knowing that the “third vote” - after federal and state elections - is part of the democratic process.
“We understand that local government elections reflect democracy. But there are priorities.
“The most important thing for me now is to revive the economy. We have to also ensure the roads are level, street lights are bright, toilets are clean and drains are unblocked.
“My work is not going to focus on what I want, but based on what the people want,” Nga said.
Last December, when he clocked in for his minister job for the first time, he also told the media that restoring local council elections will not be the immediate focus of his ministry. - mk
Bawa masuk pakar HDB bukan bermakna penjawat awam lemah...
Menteri Pembangunan dan Kerajaan Tempatan, Nga Kor Ming menafikan dakwaan bahawa langkah membawa masuk pakar dari Lembaga Perumahan dan Pembangunan (HDB) Singapura dibuat bagi mengisi kelemahan penjawat awam di Malaysia.
Nga sebelum ini mendapat kecaman daripada beberapa pihak yang mendakwa dia mempunyai agenda perkauman untuk menindas masyarakat Melayu-Islam menerusi tindakan membawa pakar tersebut untuk berkongsi kepakaran mengenai program perumahan di Malaysia.
"Tuduhan sesetengah pihak berkepentingan politik bahawa perkongsian pakar perumahan Singapura dibuat bagi mengisi kelemahan penjawat awam Malaysia adalah tidak benar dan berniat jahat. "Jelas sekali tuduhan ini adalah satu tindakan provokasi yang berbaur hasutan,” kata Nga dalam satu kenyataan hari ini.
Pada 17 Jan lalu, Nga dalam temu bual dengan Astro Awani mengumumkan bahawa kerajaan Singapura telah bersetuju membenarkan kontraktor HDB untuk "memasuki’ Kementerian Pembangunan dan Kerajaan Tempatan bulan depan bagi berkongsi kepakaran mereka.
Ini mendorong ahli majlis tertinggi Bersatu, Faiz Na'aman mendakwa tindakan Nga mengancam kedaulatan negara, manakala Ketua Penerangan Bersatu, Wan Saiful Wan Jan pula memberi amaran bahawa nasib Bumiputera akan berisiko jika model HDB dilaksanakan.
Penyiar percuma Awesome TV melalui program berita perdana Berita 757 melaporkan Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim telah meluluskan rancangan untuk membawa masuk pakar HDB Singapura kerana Malaysia kekurangan pegawai kerajaan yang cekap.

Saluran berita itu berkata kelulusan itu dibuat susulan kenyataan Nga mengenai sesi perkongsian ilmu dengan pakar HDP Singapura.
"Tuduhan sesetengah pihak berkepentingan politik bahawa perkongsian pakar perumahan Singapura dibuat bagi mengisi kelemahan penjawat awam Malaysia adalah tidak benar dan berniat jahat. "Jelas sekali tuduhan ini adalah satu tindakan provokasi yang berbaur hasutan,” kata Nga dalam satu kenyataan hari ini.
Nga berkata penjawat awam di KPKT sentiasa memberikan khidmat terbaik dengan menghasilkan pelbagai dasar seperti Dasar Perumahan Negara, Dasar Rumah Mampu Milik dan Program-program perumahan holistik untuk rakyat di negara ini sejak merdeka.
"Sehubungan itu, niat untuk menjemput pakar-pakar dari negara luar termasuk Singapura dalam sesi seminar dan bengkel adalah bagi mendapatkan ilmu dan pengetahuan serta berkongsi kepakaran dalam bidang perumahan agar Malaysia dapat bergerak ke hadapan dan relevan dengan perkembangan semasa," katanya.
Nga turut menjelaskan bahawa penglibatan Malaysia dengan HDB Singapura dimulakan sejak tahun 2015. - mk

Nga, you should invite Faiz Na'aman and Wan Saiful to be in charge of the housing for B40 since everything you do is wrong. Give them two months and see what results they can produce. We, the rakyat, too would like to see what they can propose. If they fail, ask them to forever shut their gap! Very annoying when idiots make noise just for the sake of making noise, instead of helping the country. - tembikai
Kalau tak pandai sebab semua subsidi, uitm, takda kemahuan untuk maju sebab semua free, jangan kacau yang lain, yang mahu maju! Singapora has always did the correct things. They also had racism, even now. But to counter all HDB flats are mixed with colours for better integration. Quality of the builds are good. They don't blindly use semua Melayu with low standards due to sogok! - Maimun
Sistem perumahan HDB Singapura ini berjaya kerana tiadanya unsur2 rasuah & pembinaan rumah2 flat & kondo adalah ikut sepsifikasi yang ditetapkan,dengan kemudahan yang lengkap & siap bina ikut jadual. Bukan macam di Malaysia,projek rumah murah,PPRT di bina tak ikut speksifikasi,tak ikut jadual,kontraktor2 terdiri daripada kroni2 & pemilik2 rata2 kroni UMNO yang berada. Lepas tu depa sewa kepada golongan Indon & Bangla.- ts
Orang tak bersih benci kebersihan HDB. - save our currency
Pakai kopiah sambil kira duit nak beli surga...

cheers.
