Kedah Plans To Allocate Land To The Poor Staying On Government Land

LANGKAWI, Feb 20 (Bernama) -- The Kedah government will consider giving land to the poor who have been living on government land for a long time, said the State Executive Councillor for Housing and Local Government, Datuk Phahrolrazi Mohd Zawawi.

He said currently two group applications involving jungle land had been received from the Langkawi District Land Office for consideration.

"We will consider applications from groups who have been living on government land for a long time because the government sympathizes with the poor who do not have any land," he told Bernama after presenting contributions to 11 fire victims at Kampung Kelibang, at the Langkawi District Office, on Sunday.

The state government contributed RM1,000 to each victim in the fire on Sept 9, last year, involving 18 shop houses which were destroyed in the incident.
