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.
“As the houses are built on stilts as high as eight feet and the ground below the house can be utilised, the overall size of one such house is 1,300 sq ft and its value is RM48,000.
“One assurance is that these houses will not be affected by floods in the future,” he told a news conference after handing over aid to flood victims at Sekolah Kebangsaan Manek Urai Baru.
More than 2,000 flood victims from the Kuala Krai district were present at the event. Also present were Kelantan Umno Liaison Committee chairman and International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed and Works Minister Datuk Fadillah Yusof.
