State earmarks 24ha land in Sungai Soi to build houses for them
KUANTAN: The state is mulling over a proposal to build affordable houses for the second generation of villagers in Kampung Baru Seri Teruntum said Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob.
Adnan said a plot of land measuring 24ha in Sungai Soi was being earmarked under the proposal to construct houses worth about RM100,000 each.
"We are in the midst of ascertaining the status of the land before making a decision on the matter.
"If the land is found to be suitable, some 300,000 units of houses could be built to benefit the people," he said during a public gathering with local residents here recently.

Also present were Teruntum assemblyman Chang Hong Seong, Kuantan MCA division chief Datuk Ti Lian Ker and his deputy Laow Weng Choon. Adnan said the state government was aware of the difficulties of the second generation of villagers to own a property.
He said due to the rising cost of living, many were unable to save enough money for the purchase of a house.
"Under the proposal, the houses would be built using the ready-made concept to make it more affordable for these villagers to realise their dreams of owning a decent house.
"So far, four sites in the state have adopted this concept including those in Bentong and Lipis," he said.
On a separate matter, Adnan reminded the people to obtain and fill up a form extending their land grant to 99 years.
He said it was just a formality to avoid any problem from arising although the respective land offices would update the land status automatically.
Later, he announced an allocation of RM5,000 to the new village and presented residents with some daily necessities.
