KUCHING: A family of five from Kampung Lubok Bunting, Simunjan, whose home was razed to the ground on Tuesday, will have a new house built for them after Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Assistant Minister of ECommerce Datuk Mohd Naroden Majais, who is Gedong assemblyma­n, said a new house costing RM30,000 would be constructe­d.

Naroden also presented some cash and food items to the family on Wednesday.

He said the house was located along one of the riverine systems of Batang Sadong within his constituen­cy.

“The victims were Abdul Rashid, his wife Ana, and three children. Their house was burnt down yesterday ( Tuesday), possibly caused by an electrical short- circuit.

“I promise to build a small house comprising a living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a toilet, and a bathroom costing RM30,000 for them after Hari Raya Aidilfitri,” Naroden said in a statement sent through WhatsApp on Wednesday.
