00:02Five years after flames tore through their wooden homes in Karak, the affected families are finally returning to their new
00:09homes just in time to celebrate Chinese New Year.
00:13They said it meant a lot to them to be able to decorate their homes, have reunion dinners and welcome
00:19the New Year properly in their new homes.
00:22They said during the reconstruction period of their homes, they had to stay at their relatives' homes and their workplaces
00:28and returning to their own houses is something they longed for.
00:32They received a royal visit by Sultan of Pahang Al Sultan Abdullah Riayatuddin Al Mustafa Bilashah as well as state
00:39government officials and representatives of FPG Holdings Berhad on Sunday.
00:45The Sultan stopped by some of the houses and spoke to the residents.
01:03The firewake teams have been successful.
01:05This is the first year for the Chinese New Year in the home of Baharu.
01:14The firewake teams have been successful.
01:18They are successfully receiving their various houses and to have their first Chinese New Year here.
01:26I think it is impossible without the assistance and support from all the departments.
01:34And of course, Panku himself.
01:36Panku has given us the biggest support to have asked all the departments to keep their full support.
01:46So Fajal Baru is very honoured to be a responsible corporate citizen to have taken up the coordination and to
01:55provide all the free professional services from after the fire until the completion of the project.
02:02I, as a chairman, I am very, very happy to see what is happening today.
02:08And especially I am an anak pentong, pentong boy, I am particularly happy.
02:13On October 1, 2021, a fire swept through the closely built houses in Kampung Baru Karak, destroying 48 houses and
02:228 shoplots in a matter of hours.
02:24The fire victims then worked together with the state government and the reconstruction project committee led by former Bentong members
02:33of parliament Tan Sri Lim Ahlek and Tan Sri Leo Tionglai to rebuild the homes.
02:39FBG Holdings Bahad also mobilised its corporate resources to support the reconstruction project.
