Govt to expand use of IBS to lower prices of houses

“Currently, the use of IBS has not grown. Imagine, if it grows and with Perbadanan PR1MA Malaysia and the Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Ministry using the system, more people would be able to buy quality houses at lower prices,” Ahmad Husni said.

The Government will expand the use of industrialised building system (IBS) in the housing industry, said Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah.

He said the emphasis on the use of the IBS was to enable the rakyat to buy houses at lower prices.

“Currently, the use of IBS has not grown. Imagine, if it grows and with Perbadanan PR1MA Malaysia and the Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Ministry using the system, more people would be able to buy quality houses at lower prices,” he said.

Ahmad Husni said this in an interview with Perakfm at Radio Televisyen Malaysia yesterday.

He said Syarikat Perumahan Negara Bhd had started using IBS to build houses under the Rumah Mesra Rakyat scheme. — Bernama
