The oppositions’ expertise in manipulating facts cannot be doubted. They have been proven to get caught so many times trying to manipulate the truth in order to deceive the people. Even then, there are still so many that are still trusting the oppositions.
Yesterday, Penang Housing Exco criticized BN for purportedly building only short of 10 thousand houses in Penang in contrast to the DAP government whom have built 20,887 units since 2008.
Actually, the real story is that the state’s DAP government had just finished building 2,693 new housing units while the rest are only 'mampu tengok' and are still in the pipeline.
There’s the lie, they said the houses totaled to 20 thousand units, but only 2 thousand units are built.
This contrasts completely with the leadership of Najib Razak, who supposedly labeled as cruel to the people by DAP.
Within less than 10 years in the office, Najib has managed to provide at least 19 affordable housing schemes regardless of political ideology and race.
These 19 schemes are PR1MA, Skim Rumah Pertamaku, PPA1M, Rumah Mesra Rakyat (RMR1M), MyBeautiful New Home, Program Rumah Terbengkalai, RUMAWIP, Rumah Idaman Rakyat (RIR), Skim 'Rent-To-Own', BSN MyHome-1, PPR and Rumah Transit 1Malaysia.
Not only that, Najib has also introduced Perumahan Awam Kos Rendah DBKL, Skim Bantuan Sewa Rumah DBKL, Program Bantuan Rumah (PBR), MyDeposit, Rumah Generasi Ke-2 FELDA, Skim Pinjaman Perumahan SPNB and Skim MyHome.
This is how Najib shows the Barisan Nasional government’s commitment to help the people who are experiencing difficulties in owning their own homes.
These altogether shows how different his approach is compared to Penang DAP government led by Lim Guan Eng. DAP tends to fill the state’s land area with 'rumah mampu tengok' which are difficult for the Malays to own them.
Most that are built are luxury condos that are built on Malay’s land (tanah kampung Melayu) which were deleted from the map of Penang. No affordable housing, but luxury condos uncluttered.
It seems that there isn’t any affordable housing scheme being promised by Guan Eng, instead he can only manage to ‘prepare’ a cheaper-that-the-market-price bungalow scheme. Even then, that has been purchased by him at Jalan Pinhorn, Penang.
The people of Penang need to remember this bungalow scandal forever. Build the bungalow, forget the people’s housings, that's the slogan of DAP in Penang.
