Adequacy of low-cost housing: a case study of the people's housing programme (PHP) at Kampung Limau, Pantai Dalam, Kuala Lumpur / Wan Sumayyah Syahidah Wan Mohamad
Housing for low income households is a major concern of the government. To address this issue and help raise the living standards of low income Malaysian citizens, housing in Malaysia emphasises on the provision of adequate, affordable, and quality houses to all (Eleventh Malaysian Plan, 2016-2020)....

Housing for low income households is a major concern of the government. To address this issue and help raise the living standards of low income Malaysian citizens, housing in Malaysia emphasises on the provision of adequate, affordable, and quality houses to all (Eleventh Malaysian Plan, 2016-2020).
