(Photo from Facebook) KUALA LUMPUR: The Kelantan State Government will consider creating a guideline for renting land and homes to foreigners, including Myanmar refugees, in an effort to avoid colonies.

Exco Member of the Executive Council for Housing, Health and Environment Hilmi Abdullah said his office would discuss appropriate methods with the Land and Mines Office to control the matter. He said the step was taken to prevent the establishment of groups or colonies of foreigners that could disrupt local social harmony. "We will consider establishing a guideline on how to prevent our people from renting land and their homes to foreigners, especially Myanmar refugees.

However, the most important thing is raising awareness among our people so that they do not rent their property to foreigners. If we do not rent our property to them, hopefully harmony will be maintained," he said according to Bernama. He said this during the 2027 Budget Review session, at the Dewan Undangan Negeri Kelantan (DUN) in Kota Bharu.

Hilmi said throughout this year, 47 foreign properties were taken action on by the Bandar Raya Islam Municipal Council (MPKB-BRI) administration. Of that number, 29 properties were taken action on from Pakistani nationals, 10 properties from Acheh nationals, and the rest were from Bangladesh nationals and Myanmar refugees.
