“People have seen tremendous development taking place in Bau within the four-year period and it will continue to be implemented once the movement control order (MCO) is lifted,” he said
On another issue, Harry said that he was also seeking solutions to facilitate the issuance of land titles to deserving lot occupants in the district. — Bernama
