On whether the plan would involve resettlement of the villagers, Naroden said a few resettlement areas with more basic infrastructure in Sibu such as in Kampung Bandung had been allocated.
“The state government through the Housing and Urban Development Ministry had already received RM20 million from the federal government, and priority will be given for the relocation of Kampung Datuk,” he said.
Naroden, however elaborated that the plan would not include Kampung Baru, Kampung Pa Dris and Kampung Nangka, pointing out what was more important for those affected by the redevelopment was their welfare.
