Penang housing committee chairman Datuk Seri S. Sunda­rajoo (pic) said during site visits to public housing schemes, members of the state Housing Board encountered many cars, including luxury vehicles. He said ineligible occupants will be required to vacate the PPR units when the state begins a compliance review process to ensure the housing benefits only those who qualify. He noted that about 30% of existing occupants in Penang’s PPR and State Rental Housing (RSKN) units are no longer eligible to continue living there. Penang has four PPR schemes – Taman Manggis, Taman Bagan Jaya, Mak Mandin and Permatang Tok Suboh – comprising 999 units, of which 934 are occupied. In March 2019, several Taman Manggis PPR residents had staged a sit-in at Komtar after receiving eviction notices.
