| Perak To Consult Felda Over Hadhari International City Project |
|
IPOH, Sept 25 (Bernama) -- The Perak state government will consult Felda authorities on the issue of land ownership before approving the Hadhari International City project in Sungai Behrang, Tanjung Malim.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Tajol Rosli Ghazali said this was because the land in question was owned by Felda which had presented land titles to the settlers involved.
He told reporters this after presenting Hari Raya goodies to security forces personnel stationed in the state here Tuesday.
The state government, he said, would try to get a clearer picture on the types of development projects being planned for the area besides meeting federal government representatives to review decisions concerning the project.
"It involves an area of more than 2,000ha. If the project is carried out, we want to ensure that it has income-generating activities such as zones dedicated to industries, not only houses and offices," he said.
It was reported on Saturday that the international Islamic city would cost RM14 billion.
Its development would involve, among others, local company TJ Harmoni Sdn Bhd and partners from China and several Organisation of the Islamic Conference member countries.
