new housing projects in the State will soon be based on the green
building index (GBI) standard so that houses will be more
environmentally friendly. Speaking to reporters after delivering his
winding up speech at the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) yesterday,
Housing Minister, Datuk Amar Abang Haji Johari Tun Openg, said that the
new concept of housing design would be more environmentally friendly and
houses would be built in such a way that they would receive more
sunlight so that less electricity would be used for lighting.
