Initiative by King, Queen of Malaysia improves flat communities' quality of life


ISKANDAR PUTERI: From run-down blocks of flats in Kangkar Pulai, the Kenari and Jentayu Flats have undergone a massive transformation under the Bangsa Johor Bahagia (BJB) programme, mooted by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim and Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, the King and Queen of Malaysia.

A far cry from what they used to be, the flats are now equipped with various facilities such as community spaces, a disposal facility for used items, a library, and herb and vegetable plots cultivated by the residents.
