ZAINAB binti Jaafar yesterday received the key to her new home courtesy of Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah and the Brunei Government, through the Community Development Department (JAPEM) under the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports (MCYS).
Prior to this, Zainab had been residing at a dilapidated home at Kampong Saba Darat ‘B’. In view of her house being deemed unsafe, she and her family were relocated to temporary housing at Menjalin Sports Complex at Kampong Sungai Kebun.
Zainab, a single mother of five, is unemployed and currently receiving a monthly sustenance allowance from JAPEM.
JAPEM and the Brunei-Muara District Office handled the purchase and exchange of ownership of the house – located at Kampong Burong Pingai Ayer – for Zainab.
Yayasan and the Brunei Government – through JAPEM – each chipped $5,000 towards the purchase of the house.
Yayasan Managing Director cum guest of honour Dato Paduka Eddie bin Dato Paduka Haji Sunny officiated the house key handing over ceremony yesterday at the home of the Village Head of Kampong Burong Pingai Ayer.
