Bintulu's assemblyman Iskandar Turkee has warned the public against falling for an unofficial housing scam in Kampung Jelutong Village Expansion Scheme (SPK). The scam involves parties asking for a RM2,500 deposit to purchase houses in the area. Iskandar claims these parties use registration forms and location maps to make the offers appear legitimate.
He urges people not to make any payments, submit personal documents, or provide sensitive information without verifying the offer with the relevant authorities. The public should only proceed with caution after obtaining official confirmation. Those with information related to the scam are advised to contact ASP Douglas of the Commercial Crime Investigation Division at Bintulu district police headquarters.
As of April 30, 2023, 111 housing units have been completed under the project, managed by the Bintulu Development Authority.
