The first phase of Kuala Lumpur City Hall's (DBKL) micro-housing project is now open for registration
Announced at the start of 2019, the first phase of the project involves the revamping of a pair of seven-storey shophouses at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (TAR), reported New Straits Times.
The first phase will cater to 190 tenants, while the second phase is expected to house an additional 135 people upon its completion in the first quarter of 2020.
Under the project, Malaysian singles who fit the criteria can rent a room at only RM100 - which includes water and electricity bills
Each room can fit four to six people.
Lot 54 & 56 on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman is the location of the micro-housing unit.
