KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 – Deputy Minister Datuk Wira Mohd Johari Baharum said there was a total of 158 unit of houses at Kuarters Awam Sri Mutiara, Bukit Setiawangsa, here have been allotted for civilian staff of the Defence Ministry. He said that the quarters were aimed at providing housing facilities to the ministry staff, namely from Grade 17 and below, who are among the most affected by the rising cost of living in Kuala Lumpur.
“The units, which were the navy base quarters, were handed over to the Defence Ministry to house its civilian staff. The occupants of the quarters would have to pay only RM330 monthly, which was lower than the current market price. The monthly maintenance cost would be fully borne by the government,” said Mohd Johari at the launch of the Kuarters Awam Sri Mutiara here on Wednesday.
