At the event, 15 successful RMR 2020 applicants from the Gerik parliamentary constituency obtained their offer letters and four of the home scheme owners received contributions from SPNB through its corporate social responsibility initiative.
Ismail said the construction of houses under the RMR scheme would give the opportunity to the people especially those in rural areas to own a house.
