The Dewan Rakyat will today deliberate on critical issues surrounding low-cost housing and government quarters, with a focus on implementing new policies and solutions for long-standing challenges.
Key Topics on the Agenda
Effectiveness of COB and Local Authorities
- During the Minister’s Question Time at 10 a.m., Suhaizan Kaiat (PH-Pulai) will question the Minister of Housing and Local Government about the performance of the Commissioner of Buildings (COB) and local authorities (PBT) in addressing infrastructure issues in low-cost flats.
Exit Policy for Public Housing
- Roslan Hashim (Kulim Bandar Baharu) will propose an exit policy for public housing residents. This initiative seeks to encourage long-term tenants, especially those who have lived in public housing for over 10 years, to purchase homes. The policy aims to free up rental units for new civil servants and reduce rental demand.
Teen Mental Health Crisis in PPR Flats
- Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail (Bandar Tun Razak) will spotlight a UNICEF report showing that 12.3% of teenagers aged 15–17 in Klang Valley People's Housing Projects (PPR) face mental health challenges and suicidal tendencies. She will ask the Minister of Education about measures being taken to tackle this urgent issue during the oral answers session.

The Dewan Rakyat will also progress with its committee-level winding-up debate on the Supply Bill (Budget) 2025, as ministries present their responses.
