  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: The fate of the 1,120-unit Pangsapuri Salak Selatan development hangs in the balance as the project's judicial overseers prepare to challenge a High Court decision that voided its partnership with the landowner. Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming informed the Dewan Rakyat that the project, part of the Residensi Wilayah (Rumawip) programme, was designated as a struggling housing venture on August 22, 2021, with construction at 87.5% completion.\n\nThe government is dedicated to safeguarding homebuyers' rights by ensuring proper management of housing projects, preventing them from falling into the sick or abandoned categories. This includes the Pangsapuri Salak Selatan, which operates under the Regional Housing Programme. Baker Tilly Insolvency was appointed as registrar on March 28, 2025, to oversee the developer's affairs and safeguard its assets, as well as contest the termination of its joint venture agreement with landowner Potensi Mestika Construction Sdn Bhd.\n\nHowever, the court sided with Potensi Mestika Construction on September 30, 2025, dismissing the developer's claim to uphold its rights and revive the project. The judicial managers then informed the ministry of their intention to seek an appeal against the court's ruling. The outcome of this legal battle remains uncertain, pending a decision from the Court of Appeal. Nga reiterated the ministry's commitment to protecting homebuyers' interests and resolving problematic and abandoned housing projects.",
