KUALA LUMPUR: The urban poor can look forward to more government help to ease their daily burden. He said the measures were part of the Government’s bid to give more emphasis on helping the urban poor, similar to its focus on assisting the country’s rural poor. Dr Ahmad Zahid said he wanted DBKL to introduce a zero deposit hire-purchase scheme for its PPR units in Kuala Lumpur. To date, 102,076 PPR units have been built, while 14,081 units are under construction. Plans are afoot to build another 16,473 PPR units.
