KUCHING: The Darul Hana Development project is steadily progressing, said Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.
“I believe the first phase of the project can reach completion by the year 2021. The residents of Seberang Hilir will be able to enjoy the development in about two years from now.
“The Darul Hana housing development will become an exemplary model for other ongoing developments in the state,” he said when officiating at the Iftar Ramadan Darul Hana at the Darul Hana Mosque here yesterday.
