State Housing, Town and Country Planning Committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo said investPenang proposed that the Selection Process Enhance-ment Committee waive the requirement that employees from other states had to have a minimum of five years\u2019 working experience in Penang to qualify for affordable housing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe committee has agreed to this as long as the other criteria are met.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuccessful applicants must, however, undertake to work in Penang for a minimum of five years from the date of the handover of keys to their housing unit,\u201d Jagdeep Singh told a press conference at his office in Komtar on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

An eligible applicant must also be a registered voter in Penang.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe applicants must be Malaysians, have not owned any house before and have a maximum household income of not more than RM10,000 per month,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the talent and skills category was launched on Monday after the criteria and application procedure were finalised.<\/p>\n

investPenang general manager Loo Lee Lian said applicants for this category must be a degree or diploma holder from a government-recognised institute of higher learning.<\/p>\n

They must also have at least two years of working experience, and be employed by companies registered and operating in Penang.<\/p>\n

Several representatives from Real Estate & Housing Developers\u2019 Association Penang, Penang Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Penang Indian Chamber of Commerce, Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers Penang branch and others were present at the press conference.<\/p>\n
