SHAH ALAM, Aug 8 — Approximately 1,260 units of Rumah Idaman Bukit Jelutong affordable homes were officially handed over to their owners today.
Menteri Besar Dato' Seri Amirudin Shari said the project, developed by Gagasan Nadi Cergas Berhad in collaboration with Permodalan Negeri Selangor Bhd (PNSB), is part of the state government’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the well-being of the people by providing high-quality, comfortable, and well-equipped affordable homes.
The condominium-style affordable housing is among the highest-specification housing ever implemented, making Selangor the only state government to offer affordable housing below the national threshold price of RM250,000 per unit.
"The specifications we set are quite high...each unit comes with a kitchen cabinet, wardrobe, refrigerator, water heater, air conditioning, television, and two parking spaces.
"Although these specifications exceed those of previous public housing projects, we have proven that they can be delivered at a selling price still below the national threshold of RM250,000 per unit," he said during a press conference after the Rumah Idaman Bukit Jelutong key handover ceremony today.
The ceremony was also attended by state executive councillor for housing and culture Datuk Borhan Aman Shah, PNSB chief executive officer Raja Ahmad Shahrir Iskandar Raja Salim, and Gagasan Nadi Cergas Berhad Group chairman Muhamad Fuad Abdullah.
Amirudin added that the handover of keys to Rumah Idaman Bukit Jelutong homeowners marked another important milestone in the state government’s efforts to address housing ownership issues.
The initiative, along with several other planned residential projects, was aimed at fulfilling the dream of home ownership for all Selangor residents, especially for youths and families.
With the delivery of 1,260 units today, 6,079 homes from similar projects in Hulu Langat, Kuala Langat, and Sepang have now been handed over to buyers.
This forms part of the 39,733 units of Rumah Idaman approved for construction by the state government across Selangor.
He said that 8,352 more units are currently under construction across nine projects in Petaling, Sabak Bernam, Gombak, and Sepang, and are expected to be fully completed within three years.
Rumah Idaman Bukit Jelutong is the first Rumah Idaman project developed by Gagasan Nadi Cergas Berhad, which is also responsible for Rumah Idaman Kwasa Damansara and Rumah Idaman Amani in Bandar Elmina.
With a minimum built-up area of 1,000 square feet, each unit comes with facilities, including a swimming pool, gymnasium, multi-purpose hall, rooftop garden, kindergarten, reading room, jogging track, badminton court, and a three-tier security system.
