JITRA – Nearly 3,000 units of affordable houses will be built in the Kubang Pasu district through the implementation of the Darulaman Saujana Affordable Township development project by Kumpulan Bina Darulaman Berhad (BDB) for the benefit of the people of Kedah.
Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor said the people in the state could use the opportunity to own houses that will be built in Hosba, Changlun once they are ready because it was a strategic area with good environment and access.
