SEBUYAU: The Housing Ministry has identified a 10ha land for a new township here.
Housing Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg said the township would comprise residential and commercial areas as well as government offices and places of worship.
“The residential area will take up 8ha in which about 240 units of low-cost houses under the Rumah Mesra Rakyat scheme will be built.
“It will be implemented by the Housing Development Corporation and Syarikat Perumahan Nasional Berhad,” he told a press conference after a working visit here yesterday.
Johari said the concept would help resettle residents affected by river erosion in this small coastal town, within a well-planned new township.
He said the low-cost houses would be built first, followed by commercial buildings and government offices.
Johari added that this would be a long-term plan by the government to resettle this town.
