Give longhouses a makeover using interest-free loan, Dayak community advised

Work on the reconstruction of Rumah Kawau in Nangka, Sibu in progress.

The Dayak community in Sarawak can apply to have their longhouses rebuilt as the State Housing Development Corporation (HDC) is providing an affordable housing loan financing scheme.

Citing the 26-door Rumah Kawau in his constituency as example, Nangka assemblyman Dr Annuar Rapaee said that under the scheme, the residents were able to rebuild their longhouse which involved a total cost of RM780,000.
