Audit: Construction delays among weaknesses of Putrajaya Civil Servants housing project

Delays in construction and the failure to collect late completion fines from developers are among the weaknesses found in the Putrajaya Malaysian Civil Servants Housing Project (PPAM), although it is acknowledged that the project has helped low- and middle-income civil servants own quality homes at below-market value.

According to the Auditor-General's Report 2018, Series 3, the target of developing 8,980 PPAM houses had not been fully achieved as of April 30, 2019, with only 4,447 houses or 49.5 percent built within six years of the programme’s launch date on April 18, 2013.
