Houses all paid up but still unclaimed

PETALING JAYA: Family members of government servants who have passed away should check with the Treasury's Housing Loan Division. They could be owners of a house somewhere.

Division secretary Mohd Zaharil Kassim said they have 687 titles of properties where the government loans have been fully paid up but have yet to be claimed by their owners.

“I believe the titles belong to former government servants who have died and their beneficiaries know nothing of this.”

He said they have sent notices to their last known addresses informing them of the fully paid loans but have failed to get any response.

He said those who take government loans should update their addresses if they move elsewhere.

Updating of addresses can be done at the Bahagian Pinjaman Perumahan, Perbendaharaan Malaysia, Tingkat 1, Blok 8, Kompleks Pejabat Kerajaan, Jalan Duta, 50592 Kuala Lumpur.

Mohd Zaharil said the division was improving on its information technology system known as End-to-End Financing System (ETEFS) and making scanning and imaging on loan files, which could result in loan matters being slightly delayed.

Borrowers who face any problems can contact the following officers: Rahim Abu Bakar at 03-2098 2429, Ramli Mustafha at 03-2098 2848 or Mohd Zaharil at 03-2098 2849.
