Penduduk Bukit Botak dekat sini, gembira apabila projek penempatan semula kampung itu berjalan lancar seperti dirancang.Bagi sekumpulan penduduk yang terbabit dalam undian kediaman rumah berkembar di tapak projek Bukit Botak hari ini, penantian mereka selama puluhan tahun nyata berbaloi.

Penduduk, Abdullah Said, 54, berkata beliau bersyukur kerana hasitatnya menetap di rumah lebih selesa bakal menjadi kenyataan.

"Suasana kini jauh berbeza berbanding ketika kampung ini diteroka awal 1980-an kerana ketika itu tiada bekalan air sehingga kami terpaksa menggali lubang," katanya.

Walaupun tidak dapat melupakan kisah pahit manis ketika mendiami kampung itu, Abdullah berterima kasih kepada Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS) dan agensi terbabit dalam merealisasikan penempatan  lebih sempurna. Abdullah adalah antara 707 daripada 1,406 penduduk terbabit dalam proses undian rumah berkembar setingkat dengan keluasan lantai 850 kaki persegi dan dilengkapi tiga bilik tidur serta dua bilik air yang dijangka siap Disember ini.

Seorang lagi penduduk, Romli Alang Bahak, 53, pula terharu menyaksikan projek perumahan dinantikan sudah hampir siap.

"Saya tinggal di Bukit Botak sejak bujang hingga kini memiliki tujuh anak dan merasai pengalaman hidup tanpa bekalan air, elektrik dan kemudahan jalan raya.

"Saya amat gembira melihat kediaman ditawarkan ini begitu cantik, berkualiti dan tersusun," katanya. Bagi Aziz Said, 71, projek penempatan semula itu membawa makna yang besar kepada dirinya dan keluarga." Akhirnya impian mendapatkan tempat berteduh yang sempurna untuk kami sekeluarga menjadi realiti walaupun menunggu lama," katanya.

PKNS memulakan kerja pembinaan 1,422 unit rumah berkembar di kawasan seluas 66 hektar di Bukit Botak pada September 2010 selepas kerajaan negeri mengambil alih tanah dan projek terbengkalai yang sepatutnya dimajukan sebuah syarikat swasta.

Timbalan Pengurus Besar (Pentadbiran dan Pembangunan) PKNS, Noraida Mohd Yusof berkata, kos pembangunan keseluruhan projek itu mencecah RM216 juta.

"PKNS memberi subsidi RM79.6 juta dengan menawarkan harga kediaman bagi rumah berkembar standard  pada harga RM99,000. Ini satu tanggungjawab sosial korporat (CSR) PKNS bagi melancarkan pembangunan projek ini. "Kemajuan kerja di tapak setakat ini ialah 72 peratus. PKNS turut menyediakan tapak masjid, tapak tadika dan kawasan lapang untuk rekreasi," katanya

PKNS Pemaju Prihatin

"Pelaburan hartanah merupakan antara komitmen yang paling besar dalam kehidupan seseorang. Rumah yang dibeli bukan sahaja tempat berteduh malah merupakan mahligai impian setiap keluarga. PKNS komited membantu setiap individu memiliki rumah idaman mereka dengan memberikan perkhidmatan lepas beli (after sales) yang terbaik!," Puan Hajah Roziah, Kontroller Wilayah Tengah PKNS

Bukan hanya kata-kata manis, malah kesungguhan PKNS dibuktikan melalui mesyuarat mingguan bersama pemilik rumah. Antaranya dengan pemilik rumah Banjaria Court, Batu Caves dan Kristal Heights, Shah Alam.

PKNS Expects RM800m Sales This Year

"In an interview with The Sun recently, General Manager of PKNS Othman Omar disclosed that the state owned agency will continue its successful stride this year by closing in sales of around RM800 million. PKNS is recording an average growth profit of 20% annually since 2009!"

Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) has 29 launches planned for this year and expects to rake in sales of RM800 million, said its general manager Othman Omar.

Last year, it recorded sales of between RM500 million and RM600 million, and net profit of RM319 million with an average profit growth of 20% annually since 2009.

"We also introduced the open tender system in 2009 and achieved bottomline savings of RM115 million in 2010. Last year, we achieved savings of RM100 million and we target the same for 2012," he told SunBiz on Friday.

Othman said the open tender system is one of PKNS' efforts to enhance corporate governance and transparency, and is also part of its rebranding efforts to change the perception on its operations.

"It is a balancing act. Some people say we should be focusing on affordable homes and not build high-end homes to compete with other players but we do not make profit from affordable homes," he said.

He added that affordable and low-cost homes built by PKNS are subsidised with profits from its high-end projects, otherwise it would have to depend on grants from the government.

"The perception is that PKNS only builds low-cost homes but we have a range of products which will help sustain our profitability and survive any kind of (economic) weather," he said.

He said for low-cost homes, it subsidises between RM20,000 and RM30,000 per unit and up to RM100,000 per unit for affordable homes.

"Our houses are sold at 15% to 20% below market rate," he added.

With some RM20 billion worth of projects in the pipeline for the next seven to 10 years, PKNS is looking to raise RM700 million in a sukuk issuance to fund its new projects and to acquire land.

"The sukuk has been approved but we want better terms, so we're aiming for year-end. Besides, we don't need the money yet as we have RM200 million excess cash from last year," said Othman.

According to him, PKNS is also starting to take on a leading role in its joint venture projects.

"In our newer projects, PKNS is now taking the lead with about 70% share; last time, we used to take 30% to 40% share," he said.

PKNS has 4,856ha of landbank, which would keep it busy for at least 10 years.

"We are also acquiring land for development but our focus now is more on pocket land and reversed privatisation," said Othman.

PKNS bantu adik Mawar - Berita Harian, 29 March 2012

SUBANG: Penderitaan dialami Mawar Nur Farisya Farid Alsuwad, 2, yang menghidap tiga
penyakit kronik berlainan iaitu lumpuh otak, jantung berlubang dan injap jantung sempit, menyebabkan bapanya sanggup berhenti kerja dan menjaganya sepenuh masa di rumah.

Bagi Farid Alsuwad Mohamed Maki, 34, pengorbanannya itu bagi membolehkan anak bongsu mendapat perhatian sewajarnya, manakala isterinya, Sahida Ramli meneruskan kerja di sektor kerajaan.

 Beliau berkata, mereka memiliki pengasuh menjaga anaknya itu sebelum ini, tetapi tidak kekal lama kerana keadaan Mawar Nur Farisya yang selalu pengsan membimbangkan pengasuh berkenaan.

"Dia dilahirkan normal tetapi selepas dua minggu kelahiran, kami menerima berita mengejutkan apabila doktor mengesahkan terdapat jangkitan pada otaknya.

"Kami mengesyaki sesuatu tidak kena apabila dia menangis tanpa henti untuk jangka masa lama hingga ada kalanya, dia sukar bernafas.

"Hasil pemeriksaan mengesahkan Mawar Nur Farisya menghidapi dua lagi penyakit kronik berkaitan jantung dan ketika usianya lapan bulan, kami dimaklumkan jantungnya berlubang sebesar duit lima sen dan saluran injap jantungnya sempit, menyebabkan dia sukar bernafas," katanya ketika ditemui di sini, semalam.

Penderitaan keluarga itu mendapat perhatian Permodalan Negeri Selangor Berhad (PNSB), Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS) dan Menteri Besar Selangor (Diperbadankan) yang tampil member sumbangan RM10,000 setiap satu, semalam, bagi membiayai kos pembedahan kanak-kanak itu berjumlah RM40,000.

Sumbangan disampaikan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif PNSB, Datuk Ahmad Omar; Pengurus Besar PKNS, Othman Omar dan Ketua Pentadbir MBI, Rohany Talib serta Yang Dipertua Pertubuhan Amal Wanita Selangor (PEKAWANIS), Puan Sri Salbiah Tunut.

Farid berkata, wang diterimanya dan hasil sumbangan derma orang ramai yang memberangsangkan, jumlah wang terkumpul sudah mencukupi untuk Mawar Nur Farisya menjalani pembedahan 2 April ini di Pusat Perubatan Gleneagles Intan, Ampang.

"Saya bersyukur atas keprihatinan pihak terbabit memberi sumbangan untuk membantu meringankan kos pembedahan Mawar Nur Farisya dan berharap dia akan pulih selepas ini," katanya.
