THE Urban Regeneration Project (URP) for the Mahsuri Flats in Bayan Baru, Penang, is expected to kick off early next year.

Penang housing committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo said the five blocks of the five-storey flats comprising 300 units would be the first to be rejuvenated under the URP on Penang island.
