The Penang State Government has two types of housing schemes of its people. They are known as the Affordable Housing (Rumah Mampu Milik) and the older People's Housing Project (Projek Perumahan Rakyat or PPR).
Nowadays, the majority of housing projects undertaken by the State Government are the Affordable Housing scheme. I have a separate page to explain more about it. Click the button below for details.
The People's Housing Project is mainly to house the hardcore poor. Flats for PPR can be found in various locations in Penang.

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.
