As part of the effort to provide housing to the population of Penang, the State Government has established the Affordable Housing Scheme also known as Rumah Mempu Milik. It is one of two types of housing schemes by the State Government, the other being the People's Housing Project. (For details, read Penang State Government's Housing Schemes) These are located mostly on Penang Island, with a few also at Penang Mainland. On this page, I try to show all the affordable housing projects that I have come across, and will add to this page from time to time.

    About this website



    Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
