REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - Public Housing Ministry (Kemenpera) calls on developers to build public apartment complexes for the low-income people (MBR) at affordable price. The development of public apartments is mentioned in Apartment Regulation No. 20 of 2011, which set the guidelines for all people, including the developers.

"We hope that the developers continue to provide apartments for MBR," said Deputy of Kemenpera Formal Housing Pangihutan Marpaung in his statement on Friday.

He also stated that the supply of public apartments was still at a bare minimum because several developers preferred constructing commercial apartments instead of public apartments. To build public apartments, he explained, the developers could join and collaborate with the local government, center government, and State Own Enterprises (BUMN) among the developers. Moreover, Kemenpera was also planning to provide assistance in the form of a construction credit -Subsidy Apartment, which could shoulder approximately 70 percent of total construction cost.
