Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah(pix) today visited the houses involved in the repair-and-rebuild project in several villages on the sultanate land here.

Al-Sultan Abdullah was also briefed by the contractor, Platinum Victory, which carried out the project as part of its corporate social responsibility programmes.

Its director, Shaik Ahmad Sufian Shaik Kamal Farid said today’s programme involved the handover of one newly-rebuilt and four completely repaired houses.

“Overall, we have 38 houses to repair and rebuild in Pekan. Today, we handed over five of the houses to the owners.

“Most of the houses were old and dilapidated, with damaged roofs, walls and floor. So, we fixed and repainted them,” he said
