The $1.8-million Kg Pandan Lapan Housing Scheme in Kuala Belait had so far received 300 applications from Brunei citizens who are qualified under the government-housing scheme. These applications are still under the process of appraisal.

To date, 44 completed units at the housing scheme had been allocated as temporary accommodation for qualified people who needed housing for emergency purposes, stated Awg Pungut Hj Mohd Daud, a Housing Development Officer in Kuala Belait.

Yesterday, a key presentation ceremony for 4 blocks comprising 44 units was held. The developer, Pg Omar Hj Md Said of Norlilajaya Construction handed over the keys to the Deputy Director of Housing Development, Pg Mohidin Pg Md Daud.

The occupants of the temporary units are paying around $100 a month for occupying the houses. The double-storey terrace houses have three bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper floor and the ground floor has a spacious living room, a toilet and a kitchen.
