KUALA KRAI, Jan 29 (Bernama) — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today launched the construction of 138 houses standing on stilts as high as 2.4 metres (eight feet) for the people of Manek Urai Lama here who lost their homes in the recent floods.

He said one such house could be completed in 75 days, and that the project that was being implemented in stages was expected to be fully completed in a year.
