25,913 out of the 54,138 applications were in the low cost units, while 10,930 for low medium cost units, 16,683 for affordable housing units and over 600 rent to own units.
He also announced that there are currently no waiting list on the low-cost housing units in Central Seberang Perai and anyone who apply will get a unit.
