KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 25): The Federal Territories' Legasi Residensi Kampung Baru Affordable Homes under the Rumah Mampu Milik Wilayah Persekutuan (Rumawip) project here is expected to be ready by next year, according to a Bernama report yesterday.

The units will be offered at the price of RM300,000 each to Kampung Baru residents.

They are sized at 807 sq m with three bedrooms and two bathrooms and come with condominium standard facilities such as parking lots, playgrounds and kindergartens.
