The list of beneficiaries for 4,000 flats currently under construction under a housing scheme launched by the previous government will be re-verified, according to Housing Minister Dr Abdulla Muththalib.

Speaking at a press conference held at the President's Office, Minister Dr Muththalib clarified that the re-verification process will focus solely on the 4,000 applicants who were initially declared eligible for flats in the previous administration's list.

"We will not be re-evaluating the 20,000 applications submitted. Our efforts are directed towards re-verifying the 4,000 forms of those already deemed eligible," the minister stated.
