TAPAH, Jan 12 (Bernama) -- Residents of Rancangan Perkampungan Tersusun (RPT) Perajurit Bidor can finally refer to the settlement by its official name after the Perak government formalised its recognition, ending over three decades of confusion caused by the dual use of RPT Perajurit Bidor and Taman Sri Bidor.
State Housing and Local Government Committee chairman Sandrea Ng Shy Ching said the decision resolves long-standing discrepancies between land titles and official documents such as addresses, taxes and utilities for the ex-military residents.
“Land was granted by the Sultan of Perak to former military personnel in 1987 and developed as a planned village in the early 1990s, but from 1994, Taman Sri Bidor was used in some local authority matters,” she told reporters after the official renaming ceremony at Dewan Taman Sri Bidor today.
Ng said the move preserves the village’s historical identity, ensures uniformity in official records and recognises the contributions of former military residents, with coordination from the Tapah District Council, Tapah District and Land Office, and related agencies.
Meanwhile, Perak Malaysian Armed Forces Veterans Association president Mazlan Umar welcomed the decision as a mark of respect for around 50 veterans, aged 60 to 70, who currently live in the 0.8-hectare planned village.
