KUANTAN: A project to build 154 houses for fishermen on land owned by the State Government Secretariat Corporation (PSK) here has been left abandoned for the past 15 years. This was a finding released by the National Audit Department today. Checks by the department found that the project, involving 42.95 hectares of land, has accumulated outstanding property tax totalling RM82,364, inclusive of fines. The department also found that the clear stated condition of the land is for the construction of one residential unit only, and that the process of changing the condition was not carried out by the local authority. The department also noted that the project is still in the process of being secured by the contractor and that ownership remains with PSK, with property tax being exempted.
