MARAN: After more than two years of living in a store room in a rubber plantation, a married couple is relieved that the Government, through the effort of the state Fire and Rescue Department, has built a house for them under the National Blue Ocean Strategy (NBOS) programme.

Sazarudin Sahudin, 42, and his wife Siti Sarini Mahiyidin, 34, said it was beyond their expectations that firefighters would actually build them a house.
