BUKIT GANTANG: Ex-servicemen will be given land to build houses in planned villages in Perak, said Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.
He said the state land office had been directed to reserve lots for the ex-servicemen in each district.
He also said he had forwarded a request from members of the Indian community around Taman Kaya to build a Tamil primary school to the Education Ministry.
“Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein has given me a positive reply,” he said at a people’s gathering in Taman Kaya here.
Dr Zambry also received more than 150 applications to join Umno at the function which was attended by International Trade and Industry Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Barisan Nasional’s candidate for the Bukit Gantang by-election Ismail Saffian.
He and Muhyiddin later visited the home of ex-serviceman Zainal Abidin Muhamed, 52, who recently lost his job as a school gardener.
He said he would help Zainal Abidin, a widower with an 11-year-old son suffering from a heart ailment, to get his job back.
