KUCHING: RMR at the new Bengoh resettlement area would have a different design with three bedrooms sited on a quarter-acre of land.
This was revealed by the Assistant Minister of Housing Abdul Karim Hamzah when met during and earth-breaking ceremony of the resettlement area along Jalan Semandanh-Skio, about 40km from here yesterday.
“The design of the houses is to meet the demand and request of the affected villagers,” he said, adding that it was also to provide convenience to the people.
