BUKIT KAYU HITAM: The Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) is awaiting approval from the relevant state governments to enable the second or third generation of settlers to build additional houses on lots of the original settlers.
Felda chairman Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh said the initiative was to enable the group to build new houses on existing lots, close to their parents’ homes, as well as to resolve housing issues among Felda settlers.
“Felda has made a policy to allow (second/ third generation) to build new houses on their parents’ lots, but they have to get approval from the state government first.
BUKIT KAYU HITAM (Jan 6): Kedah is poised to receive investment in green vehicle technology and defence equipment industries worth RM1.5 billion, Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor said.
He said the high impact project could propel the State to become a green technology vehicle assembly hub and major defence industry in Southeast Asia.
“The project will be handled by two large companies, namely Go Auto Group and Flumen Holdings Sdn Bhd which also has overseas business networks.
“Both companies are major players in the energy-efficient vehicle (EEV) and green technology industry as well as being involved in the supply of defence equipment and information technology,” he told reporters after a get-together ceremony with residents of Felda new generation housing in Felda Laka Selatan here, today.
