BATU PAHAT: Forty Orang Asli entrepreneurs in Kampung Bumiputera Dalam, Rengit recently received keys to newly constructed commercial lots after 25 years of running their businesses from wooden shoplots.
The commercial lots, inclusive of workshops cost RM3.2mil to construct and was a joint effort between the Rural and Regional Development Ministry and the Johor state government.
