KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today hailed the Bukit Kiara longhouse redevelopment as “historic”, saying it should serve as a model for how the country ought to be governed.
A 44-year wait by 98 families for promised replacement housing has entered its final phase, with construction of the long-delayed project officially commencing today.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Anwar also announced that the government has approved RM1 million to subsidise maintenance costs for the new homes for at least three years, saying that the residents should not be burdened with additional expenses after moving in.
