The Ingenious Ways Malaysia Is Making Low-Cost Flats More Atas

Cilisos Branded Content, 4 August 2023


Since it took off in the 1970s, Malaysia’s public housing system has been pretty successful in its original goal – to provide people who migrated to major cities with a place to live. However, the People’s Housing Programme (PPR) is often thought of as low-cost housing with dodgy surroundings and bare facilities.

The good news is – PPRs these days are getting an upgrade.
