“These projects are currently at various stages of planning and implementation. One of the ongoing projects is the development of Darul Hana, with Phase One fully completed, providing 504 residential units,” he said.
Awang Tengah said that as of April 30, more than 225 households from Kampung Semarang and Kampung Panglima Seman Lama have relocated to Darul Hana and the remaining 92 households are expected to move by the end of this year.
